I am fast approaching 1/2 million in savings. I feel like 500 is my "safe" number, that once I achieve it, I'm basically always going to have "enough" money to live on without drawing principal. It's also real easy to think about the rule of 72 and hitting 1 million in 10 years. (I'm 37)
My real hope is my savings/future anxiety starts becoming rational once I hit the 500 milestone.
Did others have a "safe" number, that once they go there, you just knew you were going to be ok no matter what?
