How much money would you need in the bank to be comfortable retiring at 45?

People are so unrealistic with their retirement needs

JOPE

How is that unrealistic?

ReyOso

4/5/21 12:18pm

To be fair, the question says "need", but is intended to be a "want" question

holipuluki

Yup, these are all "want" answers

Sorta. I love my job, so I'd need 15M if you wanted to convince me to retire.

ReyOso

I find that anyone who loves their job that much are really boring people and

Exactly right. "Comfortable."

I wouldn't retire if I didn't have 12-15 million at 45. All depends on lifestyle

If I had the house I want and could generate $300k in dividend income I’d retire

Mrs Featerbottom

Why do you have to live off the dividend income, w/out decreasing the principle.

lilpenny

4/5/21 12:24pm

If you can keep the principle in tact then you never run out of money

CBaass

There are some real tax benefits under the current capital gains taxes

Nat Gas Man

Having competent help or acumen yourself to structure the income doesn’t change

Turbo

Significantly more than I will have when I turn 45 next year

LiveCoug

4/5/21 12:07pm

3 Million USD

lilpenny

4/5/21 12:07pm

$3.5M

Born2Fish

$45k

Fully retire maybe $10 million

Non-mo Coug

Hopefully I would keep very little in a bank, but $4-5 million invested the right way

JOPE

4/5/21 12:17pm

Always used Every Million is 4K a month, and you are not touching the principle

outback747

4/5/21 12:20pm

My retirement expenses are about $2k/ month

Nat Gas Man

4/5/21 12:31pm

Does that include stuff like property taxes?

Northwest Cougar

4/5/21 12:37pm

Yea in my case about $200/mo. Could be more or less depending upon the state,

Nat Gas Man

4/5/21 1:16pm

You need Medicare Advantage

Druick

4/5/21 1:06pm

I have it.

Nat Gas Man

4/5/21 1:15pm

$1.25M That is my plan and well on the way.

4/5/21 12:39pm

Same here, only i am already 66 . . .

85fan

4/5/21 12:42pm

Yikes. And living off that for 40-50 years?

Turbo

4/5/21 3:19pm

The math to have your money last for 30 years or forever is basically the same

BYUFootballisBack

4/5/21 3:58pm

You’re right but there’s no way I try to do it on a million bucks at 45

Turbo

4/5/21 4:09pm

Really just matters how much you spend/want to spend

BYUFootballisBack

4/5/21 4:15pm

No it matters how much things cost

Turbo

4/5/21 4:25pm

Inflation is taken into account or at least should be

BYUFootballisBack

4/5/21 4:34pm

Yup. Good luck

Turbo

It's all about expenses, plus I have a little bit of cash that comes in monthly outside of W2 income.

4/5/21 5:51pm

This is where I'm at. We live on $50k a year, and we could live off the interest

RUNBYU1

4/5/21 5:23pm

$15 million

4/5/21 12:51pm

~$1 million
