Retirement, where I am now, will happen someday and if you played your cards right, like I did, you won’t even be in a position to have to answer this question because no magic money will appear.
compound interest on $600 isnt gonna really help him retire that much - but getting into the habit of saving $100 a month WILL.
I dont know abut American prices so please take these as approximate, but personally, a bottle of 2014 or 2012 Pontet Canet, a bottle of 2007 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose, and a bottle of Clos des Papes or Beaucastel to round it out.
I just went through this exercise, as my girlfriend gave $600 to spend on wine for my birthday (yeah, I spend that much every couple weeks on wine, but it was a fun little exercise, especially when it’s not my $). After about 10 different permutations, I landed on:
2 Napa Cabernet Sauvignons (Spottswoode and Stewart Nomad Beckstoffer Las Piedras)
2 Bordeaux (Smith Haut Lafite and Pavie Macquin)
2 South African Chenin Blancs (Sadie Family Skerpionen)
