<prompt> Human: How long would 4million in investments today be able to pay out a salary of 100k per year? Im curious about both low-rise and high-risk possibilities. Ballpark estimates or any thoughts on this hypothetical situation are welcome. Edit: 100k per year in todays dollars adjusted for inflation.  <response>: If you dont adjust salaries for inflation, anywhere from 40 years to forever if the return is high enough.
