For sure that’s my opinion others will differ I have found that we can live comfortably for less than that Old55 but as rightly said, it is all about personal preferences. Living in the provinces makes it easier cost wise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bows00 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I just sat through a 1 hour pod cast with Paula Pant interviewing Suze Orman on the F.I.R.E movement. According to Orman, 2 million dollars is not enough to retire. I can't believe the arrogance of this lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you retire at say 35yrs old there will not be much SS income, health insurance will be expensive, no income from a job. You will have to support yourself for maybe 50yrs. To maintain a decent lifestyle you need maybe $60,000 a year plus inflation, looking at $3,000,000 plus the earnings. I don’t like her either but I think she may be right on this one.
