If you won a billion dollars today, how many hours per week would you work as a nurse?

Someone recommended I ask this question instead of my previous one. How much money would someone have to give you in order for you to quit nursing forever?As for me, I would quit nursing forever for the low low price of $100,000.

NO.
I would volunteer my time(more than now) and enjoy every moment. Figure I've put my time in and loved it but.....

I have wanted to be a nurse since I was yrs old. I don't know if I could give it up. I also get bored very easily and would have to work at least per diem. I do like the idea of going back to school and further my nursing education.

Even with $500,000, I'd have to invest it properly in order to keep the money from eroding in value
Yep, $500,000 invested in stocks would give you about $50,000 annual income forever.

Ah I must be cheap lol $75K and I would go strictly per diem and volunteer. I won't EVER tear up my license though.

$1.4 million. Invested, with the modest return of 5-8%, would give me $70,000 to $112,000 per year.
Can you tell that I've given this a little thought?

If I won the lotto? I would be out the door so fast nobody would even see me leave. Hasta la vista, baby! No more nursing! Yippeee! Freedom from bondage at last! :monkeydance:
Actually, a simple total stock market index fund or exchange traded fund such as VTI gives a long term return of over 10%, so you would need only $700,000.
My plan is to retire by age 40.
If I won $1 million, I could easily live off the interest, pay my kids' debts, buy myself a house (finally), and save some of it. No more nursing! No more taking orders from the Man! :monkeydance:

I know stocks and mutual funds are up now, but I'd be happier with a cushion.
