How much money would I need to earn if I want to never work again and be a full time wife?

[jennifer_bloom]

I am thinking I will make at least one or two million but I think I would need at least 4 million for a safe retirement and 6 million for a comfortable retirement. If I want kids, the international surrogacy fees alone might be one million for 3 children. Paid surrogacy is illegal in Canada but you can travel to other countries to find a legal paid surrogate.

Depends on your country, but it's usually between 3-5 millions for safe retirement (or 7-8 millions for comfortable retirement). 2 million would be probably enough for modest retirement.

Thanks for the MHO

Effectively retiring is more based on income than outright cash so if you need 250k a year then ideally you'd have 6million invested

Achieving financial independence as a full-time wife requires careful planning based on your lifestyle, family goals, and location. Consider essential factors like daily living expenses, healthcare, education, and potential travel costs. With international surrogacy fees for three children estimated at around a million, your overall retirement goal could indeed range from 4 to 6 million or more. To refine your estimate, consult a financial planner who can factor in investment opportunities and inflation. This tailored financial strategy will help ensure a comfortable future and meet your unique needs.
