Instead of letting Napoleon Bonaparte to live a life of luxury in exile on St. Helena, why didn't the British just hang him?
You're asking why European kings didn't want to make it a rule that the king of a defeated nation would be hanged. That question must be asked and answered.
Instead of having Napoleon put to death when he first abdicated the crown of the French Empire, the successful Sixth Coalition restored him to the throne! of Elba, a tiny island off the coast of Italy.
Napoleon's exceptional executive talent was evident even when he was exiled, and during his brief rule, he significantly improved the governance of his fly-speck kingdom.
Following his escape and subsequent recapture, the British were faced with a tough decision: execute him at the risk of creating a dangerous precedent or imprison him at the risk of another breakout (presumably, sending him back to Elba was never considered).
They chose to imprison him, but to reduce the risk, they sent him to the most distant location under British rule, from whence only a significant naval expedition could bring him back.
Even yet, there remained a persistent allegation that the British government had poisoned him before his death from stomach cancer six years later.
Whatever the case, the British approach was a resounding success. With the exception of one terrible afternoon, relations between Britain and France have been peaceful in the 202 years since Waterloo, after being at each other's throats for for eight centuries.
We'll see.
Let's say it isn't taxed.
You can live for approximately 67 years if you pay yourself $150,000 annually. Certainly a comfortable life.
You could live for 80 years if you paid yourself $125,000 year. If you don't have children, it is also a very comfortable existence. You could probably handle one or two children, but I'm not sure. Just let's keep you in mind.
You could live for 50 years if you paid yourself $200,000.
And so on.
So $10,000,000 of untaxed money is a lot of money which could be a good amount to never have to work again.
Even though I only work three days a week and make substantially more money than the majority of people, whether a pilot's life is opulent depends on the individual. A single man making what I make and living his life as he pleases? Really wonderful, I agree. A couple who are both pilots will enjoy a lovely existence.
Me? My kids and my mortgage are what I spend my money on, with some money remaining at the end of the month for a takeout Chinese meal. Even though my house is large and I don't work, I still homeschool my children, so I wouldn't classify it as luxurious.
Like everything else, it depends on how you use it.
What exactly do you mean by a luxurious life?
Today, it just means that we have access to pleasures that are equal to
happy parents
large villa
five-digit package count
money in the bank that is sound
All tangible items that are or will be sold in the market
a gorgeous or stunning better half, someone with a job, and someone who is financially secure
Sweet children two
In addition to high reputation, celebrity, and power
Given all of these things, anticipate praise from family and friends.
Live a noble life and pass away like a king, entombed in your cemetery with all of your wealth and jewelry.
We just see this as being required in life. But the true definition of luxury
https://bit.ly/3syYYyQ
What is beneficial and meaningful if you make your parents happy by placing them in an assisted living facility since you are preoccupied with other obligations?
If you have small hearts and narrow thoughts, what good are large rooms and fine furniture?
What good is so-called money if it isn't used to help those in need? who are suffering greatly
If we don't have sincere friends and a caring family, what good are silly material things?
What good is it to get married to someone who doesn't love you?
Giving birth to children is meant if they are not well-developed by you or are not obedient.
If you don't have a kind heart and don't extend a helping hand to those around you when they need it, what good is it for you to have name recognition, celebrity, and wealth?
If you lead a selfish, antisocial life, what does it mean to be admired by society and your family?
What's the point of that?
I believe I wrote a lot about what a rich existence entails, but I believe I conveyed my argument quite clearly and exactly, up to the limits of my empiricism.
When it comes to when I began living a lavish life, that was the instant I opened my eyes shortly after being born. Yes, I'm enjoying my life to the fullest with the resources I have.
I appreciate you asking this question.

The choices you make with your money, regardless of how much you make, determine your lifestyle, not your income.
Remembering your goals is the key to discipline.
Rule 1: Avoid incurring debt. You cannot afford it if you cannot pay in cash. Adhere to this mentality. No credit card is required. You don't have to pay for an automobile.
#2: Don't cause someone to become pregnant.
Rule #3: If you can live within your means initially, you'll be able to do so later on.
You're in a terrific position to start this now because you're still in high school. Avoiding debt altogether is far easier than trying to get out of it later.
Let's assume that after high school, your monthly income is only $2,000. You can theoretically save the most of this money if you have no debt and are still living with your parents. Put $1,500 in a savings account every month for the following ten months. You'll have $15,000 saved up after 10 months. Use this money to purchase acceptable transportation with a high resale value that you won't have to worry about for at least five years. Choosing a Jeep Wrangler is wise (see out what even
Do the same process for another 10 months now that your car is off the market, and depending on how much you paid on the Jeep, you'll have $15k to $20k saved.
Do it if you can endure another 10 months with your parents. It will soon be finished. You'll have $30k in your bank account in ten more months.
You are performing better than 80% of Americans and 99% of people in your age group at the age of 20, with $30k in the bank and a paid-off car.
Spend your $30k on a condominium. In the $30k-$70k price range, there are foreclosures available. Put down your own money and take out a 15-year mortgage on the remainder (not a 30). You'll have a tiny budget.
mortgage payment of well below $500 monthly. The next stage is to direct all of your earned income toward that payment; realistically, you should be making around $2k per month at this point and have the ability to contribute somewhere between $1,000 and $1500.
The remaining balance is paid down in two more years. You don't have a mortgage, a vehicle payment, a Jeep that's probably still worth $10,000, and a condo that's paid off and might be worth up to $70,000. You are 22 and have no debt.
Continually set aside $1,500 each month. You still have all of those items and $36,000 in cash in the bank after two more years. As your income rises, put all of your extra money in your savings account; in reality, you may have reached the median income of $52,000 annually by this point, so you may be saving $2,500 rather than $1,500.
If you want, upgrade your vehicle. Buy a $20k automobile with the $10k you have left over and the $10k your Jeep is still worth.
24 years old, still have a
For the next 10 months, set aside $2,500 each month. You currently have $50,000 in the bank. Now that the time has come to upgrade, let's pretend that the condo's worth hasn't even increased. You receive $120,000 in cash when you sell the condo for $70k plus your $50k.
Purchase anything for around $120,000. This time, pay cash; no mortgage.
The fact that you still don't have a house payment or a car payment makes it easier than it sounds to commit to saving $2,500 a month for another five years.
You'll have a house worth $130,000 and $150,000 in your savings account in five years. You're 29.
If necessary, you can upgrade your car once again. Your budget is $10k plus the value of your vehicle.
You now have $270k after selling the house for $130,000 plus your cash.
Purchase a $270,000 property with cash.
You get the concept, I guess. You can make this strategy even more ambitious if your final income comes in at about $100k rather than $50k. However, no matter what occurs, by the time you are 30, regardless of your income, you will have advanced further than the majority of people who are three times your age. You are welcome to continue if you choose. Continue saving, keep trading up in 2–5 year increments, or stop here and transition into a debt- and worry-free way of life. Every three to five years, take $10 to $15k out of savings and upgrade your vehicle.
You can retire early by never having a mortgage or car payment.
Keep in mind that all of this was accomplished using only your income. Nothing to invest. No danger. No debt juggling. What your money can accomplish when it isn't being used to make regular payments is quite astonishing.
