16 years old: I’m going to be a millionaire by 20 and a billionaire eventually.
20 years old: I’m going to get to a ~hundred million before 30, and change the world for the better.
25 years old: I’m still on track to get 10 million before I’m too old, and have a family.
26 years old: I can retire on just a million or two if I’m not lavish.
27 years old: Once I get to $200k I can go live in a shack in the woods.

Cabins are a fucking kike trap. They cost 30-40% more than a house of the same size even after you build the damn thing yourself. Lumber is expensive as fuck

You literally can't live off 1m for 60 years. A million dollars isn't nearly as much as people think it is. That's 16k/year which is a minimum wage salary. Account for inflation and you'll be living off less than a 10k/year salary in today's dollars.

cost of living varies. there are definitely places in the world where you can live comfortably with that income. of course there are drawbacks/risk like access to quality healthcare.

Average return on mutual funds over the last 15 years is 9% annually iirc. That'd be 90k a year, less taxes and however much you want to reinvest against inflation.

I'm glad you put a lot of thought into this anon. Good work that's a lot of scenarios

That's probably the most drastic scenario, and there are better regions to pick with environments/cultures that are much safer and cleaner, like SE Asian countries. I've done the math and I'm at a point in my life that I actually have enough money to retire in some of those places. I have shyed away from it though due to the cultural/language barriers as well as risks like healthcare I explained. Also, I can picture myself being associated with those sad, creepy middle-aged white men already there in those countries. Still hoping on the dream I can meet a nice girl and start a family in the country I grew up in.
