>> seriously started to calculate what my number would be

It's about 5 million. You can live on part of the gains and keep rolling over the rest.

Haha .. that is exactly the number I was thinking of. I was mulling whether that includes the house or not. According to the definition of net-worth, of course, a house should be counted. But for the magic retirement number, it doesn't make sense to include the house (just as long as you have shelter that is paid off).

I do have kids and was also starting to think about college costs (or just let them pay it off).

House first... "get to fuck you"

Five million will drive you un poco loco, my fine feathered friend.
