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.
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.
I think the line to never have to work again is pretty far under $100mil

Yes, but I think inflation quickly makes that a pretty low number.
for sure. i just wanted to hit a number that someone couldn’t at all be doubted for “i could retire at 18”
