In a previous article, I interviewed USA Today columnist Pete the Planner who called out the fact that, “Every financial statistic you look to from a personal finance standpoint, points to the idea that anyone in their 20s, 30s, or 40s, in order to have some semblance of a retirement, is going to need at least $1 million.” In my interview with Grant Cardone, he reinforces this idea and takes it one step further, pointing out that you need at least $1 million in the bank just to remain part of the new middle class.
