How much money does one need to garner by the end of their mid 20's to live a relatively financially secure life from then on out, barring black swan events / wreckless behavior, and assuming relatively sound, yet conservative, investment strategies from then on out.

feel free to org into tiers

My supposition is that by 25:

- Sub $50,000 (TIER 'Typical American') worked by the system
- $150,000 (TIER Above Its Above Average, I Swear) - You're certainly not set by any means, but you have enough capital young enough that you can leverage it in meaningful ways over the next decade, plus you have a slightly above average safety net.

$300,000 (TIER 'Beginning to Make It') Youve made enough by this age that you are on the cusp of a pretty nice life style assuming nothing financial goes too poorly. You can potential begin investing in small properties and secure a car/most needed items easily with a tad bit to spare. Despite this you certainly will be working a rather normal job

If you guys could chime in on whether my assumptions are right and perhaps carry the list out to $1m I'll imagine blowing you?
