My favourite thread, where people talk of the fabled sun kissed uplands where work stress doesn't exist and we get to ride our bikes and have fun every single day.

 

Sun is shining today, fannying about with motorbikes this morning while Mrs Kilo went hill walking. Met her in the village later picked up sandwiches and went to the beach where she swam. Back home, did f all this afternoon, then out on bike to evening class. Home now, beer and pizza time. Might fire up the mini-digger tomorrow and mess around with that. Does that work for you 😉

Back to that endowment policy.  Most endowment policies are invested very conservatively and I would be surprised if it lost the amount of value you fear.  And it should be capital gains tax free if cashed out.

mean anthropic has annual recurring revenues of 30bn - that's real money... people paying them

Not really, ARR is a forward projection of a selected month’s revenue. Easily manipulated by picking a great month to x12 from. Easily wrong as it doesn’t count account attrition. and revenue is easily burned by costs and taxes leading to smaller profits or even losses.
