you're better off selling condo and moving to se asia or latin america where $20k/year is middle class. |

Date: October 3rd, 2025 9:42 AM Author: Brilyn Hollyhand ((zurich is stained)) how much do you have in savings otherwise? i'm trying to get to about 1.2m in taxable accounts so i can just retire and live off like $200k/year for a while until i can get to retirement money. i should be there by age 50.
wife and i have $2.2m or so in retirement funds so i figure by the time i go to withdraw any of that, it should be worth 12-15m. or we are about to go into a prolonged bear market and i'm fucked. either way. |

Are you expecting to retire at 96 or something? |

plug in $2.2m
and yes i know that prior results, etc. i think the one timeframe that fucks you is if your starting balance starts running from 2000 after the internet bubble burst. in that scenario, you have like $4.5m by 2015. obviously if something like that happens, i'm in some shit. that said, i have like $600k in the Fidelity bitcoin and ETH ETFs in my 401k plan so let's hope that crypto doesn't also go into a prolonged bear market. |

Date: October 3rd, 2025 10:11 AM Author: Brilyn Hollyhand ((zurich is stained)) i'd only need to live off the $1.2m for like 15 years. i ran some monte carlo faggot simulation and i think i have like 85% chance of maeking it that long while taking out like $150-175k per year for that period of time.
if i went bust, i'd go be a greeter at wal mart until i was ready to withdraw retirement funds. mortgage is $2600/mo, wife has bullshit WFH internet job making 100k. college for the kids is nearly fully funded. our expenses are pretty low. |
