    1mill every decade?

    1mill at 30
    2mill at 40
    3mill at 50
    Etc.
    That’s not usually how it goes. The first million takes the longest to reach. The next million takes incrementally less time, and so on.

    7% return will double the first mill in 10 years. The next 10 years will double the 2 mill to 4 mill. Easy peasy.

    I have to remind myself that you, in fact, are not 85 years old

    However, if using historical inflation data for Alberta, 80,000 today could be the same as 284,000 in 40 years.

    Retiring at 50, 7% return, 3% inflation, drawing $80K/year the 1st year.

    You will run out of $ by:

    $1M = 69 years old.
    $2M or more = never broke your portforlio will actually be $5M by 70.

    But remember that your retirement could evaporate on a single Trump tweet. And you really don't need money after 70.

    Live it up while your body can handle it. Money is never yours, experiences are.

    This mirrors what my parents friends have all said... the first 20 years of working was getting the experience/connections/knowledge and the next 20 was where they really benefited financially from it.

    This is how my wife and I think, we don't buy anything material for one another, we put the cash towards experiences together.

    I have a similar mindset as well but I also realize that a lot of experiences in life are very low cost and even free. Just have to commit the time to it.

    That’s exactly what I am saying, all your costs will go up. And the 2 million you need to retire, might need to be 5-10.

    Let’s not even discuss how much taxes overall are likely to increase on a % basis between now and then to cover all the green new deal type crap people want these days.

    Sounds good in theory. Kids are going to test your relationship to the maximum. You may not enjoy the shit out of life, they (kids) become your priority. No more yoloing, until they’re a bit older.
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    I think this is one of those realizations you have later in life

    A lot of the things we want out of life don't require us to be millionaires.


    Only need millions if you want to make the Beyond Ballers list
