It depends whether you're investing for 1) income, 2) return on investment, 3) retirement.
If it's short-term income related, you could invest in dividend yielding stocks of 6% or more. That would net you $60,000 annually before taxes. Most dividends come every quarter, so every 3 months you'd receive 1/4th of that $60,000 payable. You could choose to re-invest into the stock to further compound your 6% on top of 6% year-over-year, or use it for things that life throws at you. If you were working on top of this, it could get very cushy. There's also room allowed in your stock to appreciate (and also depreciate).
