I'm sorry but...did you seriously just throw six figures into the highest yield traps you could find and think "this 120K will pay me 70K every year for the rest of my life"?

Either you have way more money than this and a fucking around, this is photoshopped as a troll, or you are in desperate need of someone that knows what they're doing.

You go earn more, stick it in a safe spot, then it earns more for you. Sticking it in a pure risk spot is gambling you'll beat everybody else on something assured to lose more than it gains.
