10k is very doable, I read somewhere most US workers that contribute to a 401k end up with a little more than 300k in it before they retire. That amount can throw off $1,000/month in interest without touching the principal.
My base number is 1.1mil. But my goal would be 2.5 mil.
Provided I kept the condo I already have, at 1.1 I could pay all my bills (insurance, utility, streaming, occasional car repair, groceries, CC), and still have money to go out to eat a 1-2 times per week (Chili's/applebees level and below) and do a domestic (flying) 1-2 week vacation once a year. That would be my minimum
At 2.5 mil , I would be bringing in 100-110k just off of interest. I could live in 95% of all US cities, could easily spend $200-$250 at restaurants or bars per week and go on multiple vacations throughout the year both foreign and domestic . I could also Get a new car every car every 7-10 years(Camry, Camero or RAV4 level) or just lease and get a new car every 2 or 3.
Also if I wanted I could spent 1/2 the year is latin America, Western Africa or Southeast Asia. My costs outside of things I would still be paying for in the US (car/housing) in America would be $2,500/month there. Then in the 6 months I was in the US. I could live like I made 200k, ie nicer crib and car.
