Depends on what standard of living you're used to. ๐Ÿ˜‰

My mortgage is $2,200 a month, $26,400 a year.

Add to that other bills, living expenses, etc. I could probably get by on $50K or $60K a year.

Now then... lifespan. If you expect to live another 30 years (unlikely for me, but possible), that's between $1.5M and $1.8M.

im in the us so a third of my expenses are medical. last I checked and I have not really wanted to do the math again as everything is way up. I would need 6k a month so 72k a year but that is after taxes so would need to be more like 90k. This was as of almost 2 years ago though so it would be higher now.
