wtf is luxuriously , eating 1/4 a can of caviar and throwing the rest away? Personal toilet paper technician assistant?

Please define this luxurious lifestyle.

"Mortgages" means no. Once you actually own something, then you can retire.

This has to be a troll - who asks these kinds of questions on DCUM? Wouldn't you go to a financial planner? Unless you just want to get on here and brag.

Clearly, from other thread, OP trolls DCUM about fictitious retirement scenarios. Must be pretty lucrative.

to reliably have an income of about $1 million going forward, you should have an asset amount in the range of $26 million.

My guess : partner at a law firm or business owner

Use one of those retirement calculators. $7.5 million definitely won't replace a $1 million a year income for very long. If you get a 5% return you'd get $375k per year without touching principal. That's not enough to retire luxuriously. But you also need to estimate how much you will be able to add to that over the next 10+ years. I've got $3.5 million so far and am trying to accelerate savings significantly over the next 10+ years just to have a semi decent retirement.

OP, if you don't mind sharing, what do you do?

$15M plus $1M for each of the kids upon my death. Unless you own a company and can bequeath them equity

You are already "retired" in that you can choose to work or not. So what you do during the day is choice, not necessity. Continue with work you love. Retiring isn't really a concept that fits your situation.

Given your situation - I would think it is more valuable to got talk to a financial advisor than DCUM.

Will you pay off your home be paid off by then? You probably won't need a nanny in 10 years and if your mortgage is gone, you should be fine.

We are extremely fortunate and have self made a relatively very substantial sum by 35. Prospects only appear better and better. Clearly we could afford to retire now, but all things being equal, we would still be young in 10 years and luxury is nice. How much would you want to retire luxuriously at 45?

We have 4 young kids, make over $1m/ year. Net worth of $7.5m. Monthly expenses, all in, including mortgages, nanny, housekeeper, is $25k/month.
