RE: "If I remember right, he pegs the qualifying number for "critical mass" at $1.4 million or $1.5 million."

Not true. If all someone wants is $20,000 per year, his critical mass (per Bob) will be in the range of $500,000 per year. This assumes that 50% of the $500,000 is invested in equities (yielding about 2% per year) and 50% in long-term treasuries or the like (yielding about 6% per year).

On the other hand, if someone wants $100,000 per year, his Critical Mass will be in the range of $2.5 million. It all depends on the lifestyle that the individual wants to live out his days with.

Best wishes,

I2
