Since I’m on the US, it would need to be “whatever I would need to live comfortably” + “another $2-5 million so I don’t bankrupt myself from a large impact medical event”, since we don’t have universal healthcare here.
Sadly that latter number is the largest reason I feel I’m “just okay” rather than comfortable given that I make over $200K. Any other place in the world and I’d be feeling good.
Yeah we’re in a similar boat. I think our healthcare system (or lack of one) is very much designed to keep people working longer and also to work for corporations, rather than striking out on their own.
If it weren’t for healthcare, I’d consider downsizing and retiring right now. But as is, probably going to have to work for another 20 years.
