Would you consider a $4 million 401k nest egg a decent amount for retirement?

Yes. Especially if housing is covered and medical expenses aren't crazy.

Of course. But 401k would mean it's all taxable?

If it's Roth, no.

Yep. That's a very healthy nest egg.

If you can't make $200K a year work for you, then it's probably better if you simply pass away

Or move out of Manhattan or the Bay Area.

That's way more money per year than most people live with now and with kids. You should be super comfortable in that

Me too. Rather be poor. Hate the taxes on that.

Sure, for most. I probably wouldn't be able to keep up with my payments though.

Not if you are 16.

Seriously? Anyone that says a 4 million nest egg isn't enough is nuts

If you apply the 4% rule, how much could you live on every year for 30 years if

Sorry, what I meant was assuming 4% interest and 4M in 401K, how much could you
Scratch
May 8, 6:30pm
Between $220k-230k annually, with 4% growth you would run out in 30 years

~$130k if you assume 4% inflation and adjust your withdrawals for said inflation

Should be able to live comfortably on half of that, if invested well.

Half that amount and I would be ready to retire today - mid 30s
BYUFootballisBack
May 8, 4:07pm
Not if it was in your 401K, you wouldn't. Can't draw for another 25 years.
DubuMfalme
May 8, 4:55pm
There are ways to solve that, including just taking the penalty
BYUFootballisBack
May 8, 5:26pm
Sure, take the hefty tax hit, then try to live on 4% withdrawal for 50+ years.
DubuMfalme
May 8, 5:48pm
That is not what is being suggested
dratax
May 8, 6:02pm
Leave aside any of that and say it's 2M and you're retiring.

My op wasn't saying I "would" retire, but that I could, especially as my current
BYUFootballisBack

Look up Roth conversion ladders. You can access the money after 5 years.

Depends on your age. If you have $4mm at age 25, you're probably ok.

You could put it in a HYSA right now or MMF and get 5.3% and not draw it

If I had $4m in 401k, I'd quit my job immediately.

Should be eligible for food stamps as well at that level or poverty. Good luck

If the 401k was in Roth accounts, right on!

Certainly. Heck yes. Just be wise and disciplined.
