The tradeoff is years of training, tuition, billable hours, and pressure that does not disappear when the workday ends. ... This Portfolio Lets You Earn More Than a Lawyer… Without Going to Law School

The math on replacing $60,000 of annual income looks simple until you ask a different question. At a 3.5% yield, you need roughly $1.7 million. At 6%, you need about $1 million.
