Before you even think this is a scenario that's practically impossible for most Americans, I want to make it clear that if you read to the end, you'll understand and truly grasp that it's possible to reach the age of 50 with $100,000. But it all depends on the time you have until then and, of course, on your discipline and consistency.
PWHY $100,000?
A person who reaches the $100,000 mark, if they have financial knowledge, can say they're free. Obviously, they're not free enough to buy everything they want, but they're free enough to stop working.
An American earning minimum wage earns about $8,000 to $10,000 per year. If they have $100,000 and don't invest the money, they can stop working for at least 10 years, spending $10,000 per year.
This is one of the main reasons why $100,000 represents an important milestone in people's finances. But here's the question:
HOW TO REACH $100,000 EARNING MINIMUM WAGE?
As I mentioned earlier, it all depends on the time you have available until you're 50. If you're 20, it'll be much easier than if you're 40. However, the key to achieving this goal is discipline and consistency. Time may be your enemy, but it can also be your ally, and the sooner you start, the more chances you have of getting there.
To make this happen, all you have to do is invest in something that gives you an average annual return of 10% or even better. The magic lies in compound interest. Initially, you may not notice much of a difference, and you might think it's not worth it, but the closer you get to 50, the more money you'll receive because the more money you have invested
LET'S LOOK AT SOME SCENARIOS
A MAN/WOMAN IN THEIR 20s
A young person in their 20s has 30 years to invest and apply the strategy until they turn 50. Using an investment calculator, we'll fill in the fields as follows:
Initial Value: $0
Years: 30
Rate of Return: 8%
Compound: Annually
Additional Contribution (monthly): TO BE DISCOVERED....
DATA ANALYSIS FOR A MAN/WOMAN IN THEIR TWENTIES
After analyzing the data and doing several simulations with different amounts of money invested monthly, a young person in their 20s who wants to reach $100,000 by the age of 50 needs to invest ONLY $71 per month for the next 30 years, contributing just over $25,000 and earning over $74,000 in interest.
A MAN/WOMAN IN THEIR 30s
An adult in their 30s has 20 years to invest and apply the strategy until they turn 50.
Initial Value: $0
Years: 20
Rate of Return: 8%
Compound: Annually
Additional Contribution (monthly): TO BE DISCOVERED...
DATA ANALYSIS FOR A MAN/WOMAN IN THEIR THIRTIES
An adult in their 30s needs to invest more than a young person in their 20s because they have less time. However, it's still a possible scenario. To achieve this, they need to invest $176 per month, with a total contribution of just over $42,000 and interest earnings of nearly $58,000.
A MAN/WOMAN IN THEIR 40s
An adult in their 40s has only 10 years to invest and apply the strategy until they turn 50.
Initial Value: $0
Years: 10
Rate of Return: 8%
Compound: Annually
Additional Contribution (monthly): TO BE DISCOVERED...
DATA ANALYSIS FOR A MAN/WOMAN IN THEIR FORTIES
This is a more difficult scenario where, to reach the $100,000 goal, you'll need to invest around $556 per month, with a total contribution of just over $66,000 and interest earnings of about $33,000. This is because you only have 10 years to invest. But remember, this was a rule I set because you're not obligated to stop at 50; you can continue until 55, 60, or however long you want. The more years you invest, the better.
