Um ... which one is longest, "epoch," "era," or "eon?" I've forgotten, but I'll need to know in order to properly answer this question. Very Happy

Um, 63 years at this rate, and i'm not even sure i can maintain this rate... it assumes I can put aside $6000 a year, which I have done for a few years but don't know if I can do it indefinitely.

I'll be a very wealthy 93 year old.... if $1000 000 is worth anything by then.

At the rate I am going now, it will take me 63 years and 5 months (and that is only if my daughter pays her own way through university, which I am trying to avoid). That would make me just under 96 years of age when I hit the million dollar mark. You're all officially invited to help me celebrate my 96th birthday on my brand new private yacht in the year 2067.

Shame on you CG. You want your daughter to pay for her own education.

29 years and 7 months. That's better than I thought and maybe a little optimistic about what the interest rate will be. I wouldn't mind retiring at 64. I think that assumes that my kids will be financially independent by 8.

I had NASA run a few numbers for me, and the amount of fuel contained within the Sun is insufficient for our solar system to last that long.

26 years, provided I can keep up the high payments as well as get at least 9% return on my investments!

I'll return once I've procured a new job. Otherwise, the category may be more aptly titled, "How long until you spend your first $ million."

SPENT my first million...may have done that a few times over by now...

I thought about figuring out HOW much I have made since I started working, but I worry that it would depress me too much.
