So you need less than $17.000 per year the next 60-70 years? Respect. ;-)

$5000000 That gives me a little over $65000 a year for the next 75 years

1-2% yearly return on investment on $10m?

I need a billion dollars just because I dream big and haven't started earning yet. :)

Ahh, 1% just seemed pretty low, I always figured 3% was a pretty safe lower bound.

I think the average person probably needs 5-20 million to never have to work again depending on their current age.
