Define modest living. Median family income of 120k, 3m is enough. And that median family doesn’t have a paid off house.

Depends how long you intend to live, and at what quality of life. But 5mil is a pretty solid starting point where investments should be able to carry you for a good life

I agree. If you invest well and spend modestly, $5M is enough. Another plan is to take a low stress job that offers health insurance because that is the biggest expense until you reach age 65

If you have low income, healthcare exchanges are quite cheap.

Minimum 30M if u r with family in Seattle. Anything less, you will struggle a lot. You can do with 25M in lcol like Kansas city if you live frugal

bro, what planet are you from?

Nowadays every other person in Seattle has minimum 15M net worth. Need atleast 30M to retire at 40. That too may be right if medical expenses come up

25 times your annual expenses
