5.25 years.

I'd want to have 40k/a for 100 years before I stopped working.

That's more than I would require, but would make me feel good about the future. Add a bit more working time to get a house, maybe another half year or something.

That's less than 5.25 years (ROI, compounding, etc)

[daryn]

definitely less than 8 years. definitely more than 2.

[ilikeaces86_]

15 years

800k a year opportunities don't come by that often, so I'd have to work for a while.

If I was never going to have children, I'd probably just work 4-5 years.

With children, I think it would make a lot of sense to put in a few more years so they are all very well taken care of in the future.

In that case I probably go about 10 years or so. I'm 26 right now.

It depends entirely on what the job is and whether I enjoy it or not.

Yup. Hours/week, vacation time, and how much I enjoyed the job are what would determine the answer to this question.

8-10

[SossMan]

probably like 15 or so, but I spend like a motherfukcer plus my property taxes are almost 1k/mo.

[econophile]

if the job is somewhat enjoyable, probably 25 years (i'm 26)
