Assumes retirement abroad honestly or in rural USA.
Kids are not really that expensive and $150k gives you a good $20k a year you can use on them for those 15 years or so you need to take care of them. Honestly, might be too high, but healthcare in USA is LOL and fucks families so probably about right.
Real talk: Just you and wife and you live modestly and are willing to live somewhere LCOL but not just scrape by (ie, not just canned food and dollar store garbage): $3M.
Have kids and/or a wife who spends 101% of what you make: lol. Take your annual spending and multiply it by 30. It’s going to be low 8 figures.
Single bro who will move somewhere extremely rural or to Asia: See TT, so about $1M.

on something like TT's pre-iran war net worth you can semi-retire if single and do something chill on the side that just provides a moderate cash flow without having to toil daily
