How much you would have to invest each month if you want to be a millionaire by age 50. If you start investing at age 45, you're only giving your money five years to grow and to compound, so you would have to invest $12,244 each month starting at 45. But if you start at 40, that number decreases to $4,347 per month. Now starting at age 30, if you want to have a million dollars by age 50, you'd only have to invest $1,011 per month. Now starting at age 20, this is where it gets really good, you'd only have to invest $286 per month to be a millionaire by age 50. Now if you start investing at the age of 18, as soon as you can possibly start investing, you would only have to invest $224 per month to be a millionaire by age 50.
