I find it so fascinating how some people enjoy their work and some people are practically counting down the days to retirement. Not gonna lie... I am both depending on the day. Today is one of the days where I am wanting to be done. I've been fantasizing about winning a 5 million dollar lottery and hanging it up. How much would it take for you to retire?

Somewhere between $75M-$100M… I can reasonably get there within the next 30 years or so… but I could rationally make do on $25M-$50M…

But I genuinely love my job… so I could see a reality where I semi-retire and work with a handful of my best clients until I either physically or mentally can’t do it anymore…

We’ll be at $10M over the next 5 years… if I can get my AUM closer to my $1B goal, from $360M right now, my income will be closer to $2.5M-$3M… add in my wife’s $400K…

Add-in my aggressive investment style… and a couple of alternative passive business investments… definitely within the realm of possibility…

Torn between liking my job for the work and the structure, but it would also be nice to be comfortable enough that it wasn’t a concern. Even when the time comes, I’d rather not completely retire, and with the fluctuations of the cost of living, that might be more of a necessity.

I wish our society was structured more like this. Make it easier for people who actually want to work and contribute.

I think it's pretty normal to like and hate your job, depending on the day. At least you don't only hate your job, cause I've been there too. I would probably walk away from the working world for about $2 million. I could probably live pretty comfortably for the next 50 years with that.

True, its the little things I guess 😂 I'm still early on enough that I don't think 2MM could do it for me yet

Same here! Some days I love what I do, and other days I’m calculating how much I need to never work again. A $5M lottery win would definitely do it for me too 😅

Haha no shame in it honestly. Glad I'm not the only one lol

$3 million

I think 3 million, if invested wisely, would also work very well.
