It depends on what you're used to working with. A $15m networth is even on the low end for private bank invites. I don't think people understand just how much money is out there. In my industry people with $1m to ~$15m are just called "affluent." Meeting someone in your neighborhood with $5m would probably make them seem rich, and they're incredibly well off obviously, but in high finance that wouldn't even get them on a call list. It's hard to define "rich" in any case. There's people that think anyone that makes six figures is rich. I'm not saying one is right or wrong, but in the actual financial industry saying "$15m is the start of being rich" isn't that far fetched.

my read on this is that in the financial industry rich means one thing, but in general practice it means another thing. this is a pretty normal thing to happen, with words. it's interesting and illuminating that $15M is a rough boundary for financial industry 'rich', but i don't think that has any relevance to the thresholds applied in general practice, which i would argue are all a lot lower than that. personally i've heard the claim that ~$4M is the threshold for being able to live comfortably off dividends - your pile of money is generating enough new money that you don't have to go find other sources if you don't want to. i'm sure i'm wrong on the number, so financial commentators, where would you think to draw that line? in my opinion it's the most meaningful threshold that gets at the question, but that's just my opinion. there's probably another threshold in the six figure range that's more meaningful to others, something like 'can afford an American medical emergency' edit: i'm mixing my arguments in the above; the $4M in the second-to-last paragraph would be wealth while the six figures in the last paragraph would be income. that's enough rigor for this post i think oystertoadfish has a new favorite as of 22:14 on Nov 11, 2019 |

Depending on lifestyle, I'd say most people could retire pretty comfortably at right around $3m.

Depends on a number of factors, but to strip things down to basics: 1. To look at a comparable scenario, colleges set up their payouts from endowments to be 4.5% to 5.5% annually. Call it 5% because it will make the math in step 3 work out beautifully. They expect to maintain the inflation-adjusted value of the endowment forever while taking this 5% annually. 2. Figure out what you want your annual income to be in current dollars (remember, this will be invested to provide an inflation hedge as well as the 5% payout). 3. Multiply the number in step 2 by 20 to see what your base needs to be to result in that amount as the 5% annual payout. So $4 million, invested reasonably, should generate a $200,000 annual inflation-adjusted income indefinitely. As Solice Kirsk noted, $3 million would work for many people ($150,000 using these heuristics).

Nope. But that's just a spitball figure not taking into account age, lifestyle, expenses, dependants, etc. If a 30 year old won the lottery and got $3m lump, they could potentially retire right then and there. Most people don't retire until well into their 60's so the number will go way down. It's hard to guesstimate because retirement stuff is different for everyone and not everyone gets to retire. My advice would be contribute to a retirement account every year automatically, take advantage if your company offers retirement matching, and make sure those funds are invested into something and not just sitting in cash. Most companies have a target date fund option (TDF) if you wanna just throw it into something and ignore it. Otherwise index funds are a great option. Putting 5% of your check into that will put you way ahead of most people in the retirement planning game.

Unless you plan on living forever (e.g. if you're a large institution instead of a individual sack of decaying meat), you don't actually need to maintain the value of your retirement fund - you can draw out more then it's getting in interest and still be fine.

Cats and chimps that don't even know what the stock market is and are trained to pick things at random do just as well as investment advisers. Since the overall trend of the world economy is "up" with some fluctuation the best investment plan is to just buy little pieces of literally everything. Yeah some of them will crash and burn and sometimes you'll see a downturn overall but in the long term it just wins. Assuming, of course, that America doesn't have some kind of financial collapse. Though that you can deal with by just going international. Every now and again a currency totally tanks but most economic systems just keep chugging along.

Honestly, time in the market is going to be your biggest friend. Indexes have been cleaning up pretty handily for a couple decades now on the retail side of things. I'd caution thinking of them as the be-all-end-all, but for just dumping money into something and leaving it alone for a long time you can do a lot worse. There are managed funds out there that absolutely smash their respected indexes year after year, but all the good ones I've seen are proprietary and with pretty high minimum investment requirements, so it's not something you can just go and buy through a self directed account or even call a broker and have them make a trade. But if you're just trying to, say, keep up with the S&P 500 you'll be hard pressed to find anything even in the proprietary stuff that will outperform VOO or SPY.
