How much money.....
« on: August 09, 2006, 02:43:51 PM »
Would it take for someone to give you to retire and stop working?

At age 30?

At age 40?

At age 50?

Well, 240 said 10 million at any of the 3 ages (also stating that compound interest is a wonderful thing).

if it was just me that I had to look out for . . . and if it was just a question of money, a home I owned free and clear and half a million tax free would do it.

Semi retired at 42! Stay at home dad, with a 2 year old daughter, and hopefully one more. I only instruct at the gym 2 times a week and have an online supplement business, that takes up only about 3 hrs a week to work on.

1.5 million should do it.

I'd pay off my debt (mortgage, car loan, etc.), have my house renovated, and invest the rest of it.  :)

Then I could spend my days taking art classes and sipping lattes.

Well, I'm not sure.  I was at 20 million, then 25 million, but now I'm at 17 million because I saw I may have been too greedy :-[

i think i'm misunderstanding your question . . . are you asking this to know at what point in the game one would quit? 'cause I don't think I want to retire . . . ever.

i thought you were asking about how much of an income stream one needed to keep going.

17 million . . . you could probably lease time on a private jet.

OK so your answer was half a mill per year?

See I should ask this too.  If people even want to retire or not and why or why not.


I'd be like when they found Aunt Bee dead in her house with about 80 cats and her house was a pig sty and she was worth several million.........only I'd have 80 dogs....and a cleaning lady. :P

that was assuming it was just me . . . if i had a family, that number would go up substantially . . . probably a million for each additional family member. If I had children, I would want the best education for them . . . and that doesn't come cheap.

i guess the 17 million would make sense if you lived in a more expensive part of the country . . . but that's still a lot of skipping money.

Ten million is my target number.  Once i hit that, I'm done working.

Once I have my BIG idea, I'll run like hell with it and sell at the top. 

Right now I'm bumping around, making okay money while sharpening the skillset and learning.  One big idea.. it's coming :)

My father is "retired". Guy works 40 hours per week at a job he does for "fun". People get bored when  they retire.
