I agree with the under 35 needing 10 mil assuming you have minimal assets

if you're 50+ though you'd prob need 1 mill because i'm assuming you've already paid off enough chit by that point unless you're financially retarded. plus ss benefits

the key to retirement in the modern age is to get a passive income stream (must be stable)

or retire in a lower cost of living country (most miscers are young so this may not be an option in 20+ years)


or get a low stress job you truly enjoy so life isnt so shtt

inflation is why I put those numbers

many 50-60 year old retiring now are getting hit by the reality that they didnt save enough


covid, wars, financial system crash can 2x 3x 4x the cost of living within a few years. plus zoomers are spending 200k for their education and $50k on a car lmaoo

Yeah at this rate of inflation for sure we'd all be fuked if it continued year after year but historically things will stabilize after some time

How much would you have to lose to unretire and how much would you need to re-retire again

Probably more about the amount over a time period, and not just the amount.

We took a 20% haircut at the very start of retirement (retired Nov '21, markets crashed within 6 months). But it's mostly recovered.

If we ended up taking a 20-30% drop and it was extended over 4 or 5 years, that might do it.

It'd take a lot to make me go back to full time work ever again though. Just the thought of having to wake up every morning to show up on someone else's schedule sounds terrible. I feel like I barely have enough time to do anything and that's with zero commitments. I don't even know how I used to accomplish chores with 40 hours cut out for someone else.

Depends. How much would $1 million bring in? That's all I'd need. Don't need luxury. Don't need sports cars.

Ideally $2 million, maybe $3 million.

It depends if you want to live like a minimalist for the rest of your life or be comfortably retired

1 mil won't last a lifetime

Today I would say 3.5 million invested in rentals to live just comfortably me and my dependents, granted that me or my dependents don't pay rent , that means low-mid class level with already paid off cars that only require maintenance and you can trade in for another basic used car later on.

problem is most people, let alone miscers know anything about investing. Therefore, they need a much bigger nestegg to retire. Not only that, most people think they are going to have an extravagant lifestyle - one much different than they currently have. I always find that amusing. Like...f@cker you live a boring ass life now. What makes you think that will change when you retire? Why, because you have more free time? You don't even value the time you have now, when you have next to no time and you think that will change later? Lol

if I had to do it again, I'd need only about 300K. It would be a bit touch and go for the first year but completely doable.

It this a joke? At $3m with a 5% return, you'd be earning $150k per year. Live on $100k and adjust the withdrawals to index for inflation and you literally have an endless income.
