How to retire with $2M. Monthly investments needed given a 10% annual return. Starting at age 60, you're only giving yourself 5 years for your money to grow. You'd have to invest $25,827 every single month. But then if you start at age 50, that number drops significantly to $4,825 every month. And then starting at age 40, you'd have to invest $1,507 every single month to reach 2 million by age 65. Now here's where it starts to get pretty good. Starting at age 30, you only have to invest $526 per month. And then starting at age 20, you only have to invest $190 every single month. But now, if you start investing at the age of 18, as soon as you can possibly invest on your own, you would only have to invest $156 to retire with 2 million.
