My friend recently shared with me a new and simple way of calculating if you have enough to SAY F U BOSS. Not the usual unrealistic and too low level like 2 years of emergency funds and so on...This is the real F U Money
Basically like this:
X : Your Age
Y: Annual Salary/12
F U MONEY = (65 -X)*12*Y
Assuming retire at 65 Years Old.
Assuming no more increment.
Assuming you still have housing loan which you will service till 65 yo.
So for example:
X, Age: 40
Y, Salary: $200000 / 12 = $16666
F U MONEY = 25*12*16666 = $4999800 = $5m
Conclusion: The amount of REAL F U MONEY you need to have NOW is the amount of SALARY you would have earned from NOW to 65yo. If you already have this amount, that is TRUE F U!
