After projecting their monthly cost of living, the Rooses determined they’d need $300,000 in investments to be able to live off the dividends
This number seems impossibly low to me. At an - optimistic - 5% return that’s $15k/year between 2 people without allowing for inflation eroding the capital. A lifestyle of traveling means buying airline tickets etc even if they stick to locations with a very low cost of living. And presumably one day they would want to return to the West.
