To be able to live where you want, do what you want, etc....
You can’t be serious with this question breh.

It all depends where you wanna live, what you wanna do, and who you wanna do it with.

100m to be safe.

50m will do

20m is very possible

10m absolute minimum. I would have to have a yearly/monthly budget though.

An executive from Disney came to one of my college classes back in the mid 2000s and told us we needed $10,000,000 to live comfortable in retirement. Thinking about it, that's a decent number. If you have kids you want to take care of them and send them to college if they don't get a scholarship. You can live where you want to live. He was probably pretty close thinking back on it. But that also means, you need money before retirement which starts around mid 50s to 60s for those that can.

$10 M in my jobs guaranteed fund with Mass Mutual at 4% would give me $400K a year. I can live a very comfortable life with that.

Even half, or a quarter of that I'd be good.

Putting money in a non-risky investment vehicle, you can safely expect 6% annual returns consistently. Just live off that 6% without touching the principal.

i.e. with 1 million invested you can safely withdraw 60k a year gains without touching the original million. Now how much principal you need depends how much annual income you want for your desired lifestyle.

Realistically, maybe less than 1% Americans of will save up $1 million in their lifetime though.
