Here's how much money you'd have to invest every month if you want to have $2 million by age 50. Starting off at age 45, you're only giving yourself five years to invest. You'd have to invest $25,195 every single month. But starting at age 40, that number decreases to $9,251 every month. Still a ton, you're practically cooked. But starting at age 30, you have to invest $2,330 every single month. But this is where it gets really good. If you start investing at age 20, you only have to invest $723 every single month to reach 2 million by age 50. And finally, starting at the age of 18, you'd only have to invest $577 to reach 2 million by age 50. Also, if you start at the age of 18 or 20 and you're investing that amount of money every single month, if you let that go from age 50 to age 60, not increasing the investment, you invest that same amount every single month, your money would grow to be worth over $6.1 million. That's the power of compound interest.
