Transcript

Here's exactly how much you need to invest monthly to reach an account balance of $2 million by the time you're 65. You can safely take out $80k per year. For reference, that's about $80,000 you can safely pull out of that account every single year. Starting off strong at age 60 with only 5 years to invest, you need a whopping $25,827 every single month in order to reach that $2 million balance. Now that number drops significantly if you start investing just 10 years earlier at 50. It's $4,825 every single month. Going down to age 40, it's another significant drop. It's only $1,507 in order to reach a $2 million account balance by 65. If you start at 30, you only need $527 single month. If you start at 20, you need $191 hundred every single month. And the best number is obviously at age 18 where you only need $156 every single month to have $2 million by the time you retire. Comment down below which number you want to see next. And if you're new here, my name's Rob and I break down personal finance for those that weren't taught this growing up. Bye!
