If made $500K without living in a high cost and high tax area, I’m pretty sure I could retire in about 4-5 years with the money I saved. Admittedly, that’s based on my current situation, which includes a military pension when I retire from active duty. If I was younger, I’d work a bit longer and invest a ton so it would have a better chance at sustainability.
