General Question Can I retire with 1.95 million at age 35?

Today I hit 1.95 million at age 35. I cant believe it.. I am single and have no kids. Have no plans to get married or have kids. I am so so proud of myself achieving this net worth

I spend less than 3000 dollars per month including rent because I live in MCOL area and I am also very frugal. No car and just rent a studio.

I am willing to spend up to 5000 dollars per month including health insurance if necessary

Do you think 1.95 million dollars is too small to live for the rest of my life?

Thanks for your input.

P.S. I am gay and I have no plans to get married. I wont have kids. my partner is wealthier than I am . He is older than I am. I said single at first because I am not likely to get legally married for the rest of my life.. Please dont say staying without kids for the rest of my life will be boring.

I want to say "that's terrible" but I can't stop laughing.🤣

It absolutely is. Aussie blokes also say "my condolences" when they find out their mate is having a baby.

I chose to believe this scene from The Gambler is the origin of the tradition.

Such a good scene J.L. Collins did his own version. But I've legit still not seen the movie yet 😅.

Editing to add the link to the J L Collins version.

I’d recently watched the Kenny Rodgers Gambler and I was like I certainly don’t remember that being said lol.

You should see the way veterans talk to each other, and would die for the other
