Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

hey guys when can I retire?

In my late 30s, single, probably will not get married and only have saved up slightly over $1 million. Currently earning $150k after tax, which I guess isn’t too bad all things considered but I still feel like I need at least $3-4 million to retire comfortably, meaning that I need at least $10k/month passive income.

Ideally, it would be ideal if I could retire in my early 40s or mid 40s, but it seems like I’d only be able to achieve my retirement net worth in my late 40s, which i I think is too late as I think I’d past my prime physically.

Thankfully, I am no longer with Wells, so that’s good, but my new company su-ks big time as well. I just want to get out of the corporate rat race ASAP.

Any advise?

Yeah, like techbro @c7+1jyawb80n says, baby go all in CRYPTO!

*** nahh, it barely resembles a Ponzi scheme, right (?). I mean everybody is always going to have confidence in something imaginary that is beloved by con artists and criminals to launder dirty cash.

Just some thoughts:

You're not American, as you asked for "advise", not "advice". Either that or your grammar su-ks, which means you're lying about making $150K after taxes.

This is a layoff board, not retirement planning. Which means you're an id--t and don't really make over $150K after taxes.

Chances are your unemployed or in a dead-end job and have nothing better to do with your life other than troll people who have real jobs and real concerns about layoffs.

Soliciting financial advice on a message board? That's rich.

Retire now, cash it all out and take it to Foxwoods in CT and let it ride. If you are soliciting legal/career advice, definitely launch any type of complaint with HR/ER.

The rule of 25.... Multiply your needed/desired income by 25 and that's about how much liquid assets you'd need spinning off dividends, interest, etc. to make your $10k per month. Illiquid assets (like a home) don't typically count because they don't produce income unless of course you plan to downsize later in life.

Reddit “financial independence”, “FIRE” (financial independence retire early). Lots of likeminded individuals to help you there.

If you saved that much till now - you don’t need 3-4 M to retire. Think about it. You must be saving 40K per year already. I’m assuming you’re living on 50K now.

You’re probably maxing out retirement accounts. Favor Roth accounts now. Put money in brokerage. Look up SEPP. Use the brokerage to do Roth conversions when you take SEPP. This will help you avoid massive RMD taxes later.

Invest it fairly aggressively in stocks for 10-15 years, but you'll have to keep working.
