You've got to have between 12 and 15 times of your final year's living expenses saved up. If you're spending $100,000 a year now, you should have at least $1.2 million saved up, preferably $1.5 million. If you're living on $300,000 a year, you should have close to $5 million saved up.

You can do what you think you can do and you cannot do what you think you cannot.
