Early Retirement On One Million Bucks

Early Retirement On One Million DollarsInteresting article over at PF Blog on retiring early. There has been a few good posts on this subject over there, and here is the short outline on his personal retirement scenario.

“…………….

  1. We probably need $110k (adjusted annually for inflation) to maintain the household if I bid farewell to the corporate life.
  2. The earning power of our household business is becoming more reliable (and strong) now. To be very conservative, we can probably count on at least $50k after tax per year from these entities for the long run — that’s only half of our revenue run rate right now.
  3. I might be looking for some part-time consulting or training jobs in the future, and these jobs should be able to net a quick $15k after tax per year.
  4. From my million-dollar portfolio, an ultra-conservative allocation should return 5-6% a year, so it is another $55k.

So without any fancy math, it appears that a million dollars is all I need for my financial independence. In fact, since I’m so conservative in counting my income streams and really liberal on the expense side, I will most likely be able to pay all my bills and contribute more savings to our retirement fund to defeat the inflation. So once again, $1,000,000 is enough.”
