I took a look at Chris Hogan's R:IQ and I plugged in $50K as an estimate for what I have saved. Plugged in retirement age of 63 and that I'd like to live on $5K/mth.
Here's what I got.
Your R:IQ is:
$2,080,200
What you need to
invest monthly:
$331
Without adding anything else, your current retirement investments should be worth:
$1,256,300
Here’s how much you need to save to reach your R:IQ:
$823,900
It sure looks like a lot.
