Depending on where one lives and how lavish they want to live, 1mil USD at 4% interest is enough to make a life on.
That’s what my financial advisor tells me and I think it’s more than reasonable.
Yeah, it’s like $5. The 4% rule puts this at $200k, and even a very conservative 2% is $100k. That’s more than the median household income, and you get that for doing nothing.
My personal number is more like $2M, which is $40-80k. Assuming my house is paid off, that’s enough for me to be generous while not worrying about basic needs.
I think the line to never have to work again is pretty far under $100mil
for sure. i just wanted to hit a number that someone couldn’t at all be doubted for “i could retire at 18”

Yes, but I think inflation quickly makes that a pretty low number.
