Mine is €20,000,000, what about you?
Here's a simple strategy anyone can use when dealing with large numbers like this...
If your escape number is $20M, transform it into its smallest parts.
That means your new escape is 20,000,000,000 pennies, or 2 Billion pennies.
Now, take $1 and put it into a jar, savings account, or an investment account.
Congratulations, you are now 100 steps closer to your escape number.
Everyday you can get closer.
The purpose of this exercise is purely psychological and pattern grooming for continual progress.
Of course, a few dollars here and there won't get you to 2B pennies, but this helps you build a pyschological framework for moving the needle on a bigger goal. The big movement will occur in big income and/or asset increases.
I still do this type of thing today. For example, I'm doing this for my home mortgage which started out as a $1.8M loan. Instead I look at my mortgage as owing 180 million pennies and every day I pay down a portion.
