depends on the lifestyle you want to live.
My wife and I might retire in our mid-30s, in the US but not in an expensive area, and be completely comfortable with well under $1 million in assets. Because we live a laid back, low cost lifestyle -- with the house paid off (as of this week) our burn rate is dropping to under $20k per year.
You might need considerably more money to maintain your desired lifestyle. There's nothing wrong with that -- but recognize that not everyone is you.
- darkmighty 12y agoMay I ask what is your definition of retirement? I just can't imagine to stop working at that age (maybe it's because I haven't even started).
