Questions
How long does it take to save a million dollars?
It depends on how much you save and the return. At $500 a month and 6% a year it takes about 40 years; at $2,000 a month, about 21 years. This is simple math for illustration, not financial advice. Real returns go up and down, and there are taxes and fees.
