Should I retire with 1M net worth?

If I dont plan to have kids ever. 40k a year is a comfortable life for me. Also in a committed relationship. My S/O and I both come from modest backgrounds— we don’t do lavish vacations, live in luxury housing, etc. TC 200k Age Late 20s edit: I don’t mind working. However, I would like to try my hand at entreprenurial pursuits, spend time working on open source, etc. My days would still be busy / productive. Some of these things could make some money.

No. And you're not even 30 yet lmao.

I’ll reach 1M net worth in my early 30s. But this is my current plan.

Hilarious. Try again when you have 10M

Do you plan to stay in the US?

Intuit z4x OP Oct 5, 2019

Yes, in California, but definitely not Bay Area

I'd say this might be enough to keep as a backup money for case of some health emergency. As a retirement, hell no. Maybe if you move to some third world country, but definitely not here.

You should account for the escalating costs of healthcare based on your life expectancy.

Surely by the time he's old we will have joined the rest of the developed world in having free healthcare.

If you're young, just don't buy healthcare. Wait until you're like 50.

1M is not enough to retire in the bay, do the math. You have 50 years + or so left. Will 1M really last you that long, taking into account inflation and rising housing costs.

Not in the Bay Area, read the post

1M is far from enough to retire in your 20s

Bloomberg TimeToPlay Oct 5, 2019

1M is not even enough to retire when you’re 60.

Never plan to not have kids, kids are the best what happens in human life.

False. Fuck my mother for giving birth to me

Depends where you live, it’s not enough for CA. If you are comfortable financially, seek for job / life satisfaction. I’d continue working until 2-3M net worth, you may be there in ten years.

If you want to do entrepreneurial pursuits, methinks you need more than 40k/yr of standby funds. You need to be prepared to sink some cash into it.

Never invest your own money 💰 thats what vcs are for
