I have a question on making my assessments for my Lifestyle needs (based off of MJ DeMarco's equations), and the money/business system incomes that will fund these lifestyle needs. His examples were similar in some sense and I was curious how he arrived at those numbers. He said 2k a month for his house, 1k for travel, etc... Here are my quantitative goals just as a basis for how much I want to make, if anyone has any clarity or more accurate corrections for the numbers I would appreciate it.

Lifestyle Cost =
$312,400/Month
$62,660/Month
Allowances

$4,200


Gross Living Cost = $312,400/mo. (Lifestyle cost) + $4,200/mo. (Allowances) = $316,600/mo.
Gross Living Cost = $62,660/mo. (Lifestyle cost) + $4,200/mo. (Allowances) = $66,860/mo.

Net Living Cost = $316,600 / .60 = $527,700/mo. .60 = 60% for potential taxes
Net Living Cost = $66,860 / .60 = $111,500/mo.

Money System Target = ($527,700 x 12) / .05 = $126,648,000 .05 = 5%, the minimum
Money System Target = ($111,500 x 12) / .05 = $26,760,000 expected yield on a money system

Business System Target = ($316,600 x 5) = $1,583,000/mo.
Business System Target = ($66,860 x 5) = $334,300/mo.

First seek a business system that generates $334,300/month in passive income. Of this income, 40% goes to taxes, 40% goes to fund my money system, and 20% pays my lifestyle.
