  • Retiring from the daily grind early and living off stock market investments is a popular dream shared by many. Is it achievable? The post How much is needed to invest in the stock market to retire early and live off passive income?

The article from MSN discusses the concept of retiring early by living off passive income generated from stock market investments. It outlines that the amount needed to invest depends on several factors including one's desired retirement lifestyle, expected rate of return, inflation, and withdrawal rate. Typically, financial advisors suggest following the "4% rule," where one can safely withdraw 4% of their investment portfolio each year without running out of money. For example, to generate an annual income of £30,000, one would need a portfolio of £750,000. The article also emphasizes the importance of starting early due to compound interest, diversifying investments, and considering other income sources like rental properties or dividends. It highlights that while the stock market can offer significant returns, it also comes with risks, and thus, a balanced approach to investment, possibly including bonds and real estate, is recommended for a secure early retirement.
