These numbers show Suze Orman is right about needing $5 million to retire
Suze Orman broke the internet earlier this month when she told the “Afford Anything” podcast that those buying into the FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early) better save at least $5 million to achieve that goal. “Her views ruffled a lot of feathers, but after crunching the numbers, I have to agree — $5 million sounds about right if you want to retire before the age of 60,” the Financial Samurai blog’s Sam Dogen said. Dogen says 40 is the absolute earliest he’d recommend anybody retire, although even then, that’s asking a lot out of your investments.

Why early retirement IS all it’s cracked up to be
Sometimes, the stuff that people say about early retirement (and early retirees) is terrible. It is assumed that early retirement is the end of productive life and that unless we’re swimming in millions in cold hard cash, early retirement will eat us alive. As I said in my one-year early retirement performance review, early retirement is all that it’s cracked up to be.

Apple's stock falls after Guggenheim downgrades, cuts earnings outlook
Shares of Apple Inc. (aapl) fell 0.4% in premarket trade Wednesday, which puts them in danger of a fifth-straight decline, after the technology giant was downgraded by analyst Rob Cihra at Guggenheim Securities, who said rising average selling prices (ASPs) was "no longer enough" to offset declining iPhone units. Cihra cut his fiscal 2019 earnings estimate to $12.97 a share from $13.41--the FactSet consensus is $13.44--and his revenue estimate to $273 billion from $281 billion. "Over the past 10 years, Apple's iPhone ASP has increased a dramatic +$220, or 40%, reflecting its growing value to both consumer and business markets, but nearly half of all that just came in [fiscal year 2018] alone, making a period of digestion now likely," Cihra wrote in a note to clients.
