How Much Passive Income or Savings Do You Need Before you Quit the Rat Race?

[Eran Greenburg]

Opinion question here.

How much savings do you need, or how much passive income, before you quit working and do something more meaningful than simply trying to make a buck?

And just as importantly, what do you do next? Sure, helping others do what you do is obvious, but what about beyond that?

I guess I dont identify with people that feel they need 10's of millions or more, unless they are doing something useful with that money, like helping others. Beyond the minimal amount needed for long term living security, I personally find it distasteful that people buy so much junk. 

Of course in addition to the wealth aspect, some people like the fame of it. 

So, what about you?
