Title: I&#x27;ve decided that the optimal path I want in life is $2.2 million dollars, and then to live the rest of my life off of the interest generated from an index fund (approx $80K&#x2F;year after tax).<p>Right now I&#x27;m in college studying Computer Science, and in my free time I write (I&#x27;m not any good at either yet, but now&#x27;s the time to get good, so I&#x27;m not worried).<p>I&#x27;ve thought about a start-up, but the risk and reward are both too high. A successful startup is around the $10 million to $1 billion, depending on what you create. This is way over my goal. I&#x27;m sure the risk is proportional to the potential money earned, so it&#x27;d be inefficient to overshoot my target.
