I wouldn't. I'd want to make 4x - 5x the amount of the UBI.

Nothing feels as good as investing %80 or your disposable income into QQQ or SPY. I'm 30 now. If the nasdaq 100 returns just 5 percent annualized over the next 15 years, my portfolio will be around 5-6M USD, and not even considering things like dollar cost averaging or playing with a bit of safe margin.

That's the beautiful thing about American capitalism. Invest enough and the economy itself makes money for you. For all those jokes about billionaires not even knowing you exists, you can ride their coattails to multimillionaire status.

Here's more then:

Historical data of the Nasdaq 100 index

The index returned an average annual return of 15.13% between July 2007 and February 2023 .

That's an empirical fact, not conjecture.
