This is disinformation: Everybody knows Mayor Adam West lived in and ruled over Quahog, Rhode Island with an iron fist until he died.
It takes a real class-act to happily play a parody of himself.
He was a true American treasure.
This was his summer home.
The IRS continues to be Batman’s most feared opponent. They know where the Batcave is.
It’s a cave full of bats. Can you imagine how stinky the giant guano pile must have been? Honestly, I feel sorry for Robin and Alfred.
My favorite lore about Adam West is that he and the guy that played the riddler got kicked out of a orgy once, because they wore their costumes and didn’t break character.
Can’t be true. Can’t imagine an orgy where that wouldn’t be cool.
Doesn’t matter if true or not, I choose to believe this now. Nobody ask for sources!
it’s fucking insane to me that there was no such thing as a billionaire in those days, and now it’s like if you’re “just a millionaire” you’re just small potatoes
Eh, Rockefeller is traditionally considered the first US billionaire, which precedes the creation of Batman by a bit of time. It is wild that we’ve gone from becoming a billionaire being a first to commonplace in 100 years.
“Just a millionaire” isn’t just small potatoes, it’s genuinely suggested to have a couple million in assets in the US to be able to survive old age comfortably. Like bare minimum to be comfortable and not in a shitty home where you’re possibly suffering elder abuse and possibly separated from your wife/husband/loved ones.
So many of us are so so so fucked. We need you more than ever, Batman.
From my BIL accountant the rule of thumb is 20x your yearly target. Want to life off of 100k? You need ~2mil in investments to be able to take 100k out every year and (more or less) keep the 2 mil (this is based on long term market averages so ymmv)
Usually 4%/x25 has been considered the rule-of-thumb (and that’s based on a study that considered dying broke okay; not based on capital preservation). x20 would usually be considered fairly aggressive (although that depends if you are including other things like SS benefits if you are in the US).
Given the super-high CAPE ratio currently, even 4% would be be aggressive if you want capital preservation. Something like 3%/x33 would be more geared towards that.
Ya you’re right. I misremembered. It was 2.5 mil which would be 25x. Either way, the other person’s point stands it takes literal millions to retire
We all miss Adam West.
Even Burt Ward?
According to Wikipedia: “West and Ward remained friends until West’s death on June 9, 2017, at age 88.”
