The term "fuck-you money" is used to describe the amount of money a person would need to accumulate in order to walk out on their job permanently and live free of responsibilities.
I put together a spreadsheet last night which describes how an average person can achieve fuck-you money realistically. Assuming you can be happy living on 1/2 of your income, investing the rest, your investment returns will exceed your expenses in 10 years, and within 20 you'll be making more off your investments than your entire salary.
This is also an experiment with a Wiki-style spreadsheet using Google Docs. Everyone has access to edit the sheet to plug in their own hypothetical numbers, or even create whole other simulation models.
