Transcript

Take however much money you want to live off every single year and times that by 25. That's how much money you need invested to live off that every single year for the rest of your life. Take that same number and times it by 4%. You get the same number as before, meaning that you can live off that number for the rest of your life while the rest of the money in that account keeps on growing. Then take the age you want to retire at and subtract your age now and that's how much time you have to invest this money. Take your starting point and the amount of months until you reach that number. $20,000 Invested 228 MONTHS left. $3,500 Invested per month = $798,000. And that's how much you need to be investing per month to hit your goal. And even though that number is less than the amount calculated at the start, that's the beauty of compound interest, it will grow over time without you doing anything.
