Not true at all. You don’t even need to save that much. Like $5k a year from the time you start working until 65. Boom. Millionaire.

You mean the same $5,000 that would go towards one of those things I previously listed?

On paper your plan sounds great. But it doesn’t quite work out so cut and dry. Eventually shite happens and you have to use your savings towards something and/or you don’t have that extra cash to save $5,000 a year for the sole purpose of not touching it.

The hardest thing in the world is living beneath your means. We’re in a status driven society and you just accumulate things. I make twice what I did ten years ago and spend twice as much.

My net worth is mostly wrapped up in money I can’t touch for another 10 years.

Agree, because someone else could be 40 with 200k in net equity and 800k in cash and investments and afford to buy a 200k vacation home cash money


If you find a 200K vacation home worth buying, please let me know.
