She said, \u201cTwo million is nothing. It\u2019s nothing. It\u2019s pennies in today\u2019s world, to tell you the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She doubts that a few hundred thousand, a million or even two million dollars are enough in case of a catastrophe. When asked what a safe amount would be, she explained that it would be in the millions but depends on several factors, such as where you live, your expenses, and whether you own a home outright. She believes the amount you\u2019d need to retire early would be closer to $5 or $10 million.<\/p>\n<p>\n        \n<iframe scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"ndfp\" style=\"margin-bottom:-30px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/products.gobankingrates.com\/pub\/4fb9e55e-a55a-45e2-a1d3-232479e72c8a?targeting%5Bcategory%5D=retirement&amp;targeting%5Bsubcategory%5D=planning&amp;targeting%5Bkeyword%5D=&amp;targeting%5Btags%5D=&amp;targeting%5Binternal_id%5D=2309287&amp;targeting%5Bcurrent_internal_id%5D=1281644&amp;targeting%5Bpagetype%5D=article&amp;targeting%5Bpage_layout%5D=user-first&amp;targeting%5Benv%5D=&amp;targeting%5Btheme%5D=moneys-most-influential-women-2024&amp;targeting%5Bzone%5D=02&amp;resize=1\"><\/iframe>\n    <\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Orman_Agree_With_the_FIRE_Movement\"><\/span>Does Orman Agree With the FIRE Movement?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first question Pant asked Orman was whether or not she agreed with the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement. Orman, a former waitress, adamantly disagreed with the trend.
