Ha, unless you intend to leave all your money to the gov or descendants.

250K a year of passive income, assuming a generous 10% yield.
Meaning a whopping 25M capital.

For someone with 40 years of working life, 200K from the 1 year and saved every single cent. It would mean only 8M.

So don't worry you are well ahead......in your dreams.
