124,594 hours (14 years) would be enough to retire right now, anything less than that wouldn't be immediately "life changing" since I'd still have to hold down a job.
Do you mean the income of 14 years, or the income you would get working 14 while years (which with a 40hour work week is more like 60 years of work)?
I took the amount I estimate I would need to retire right now at my current age and divided that by my current hourly rate. So it's 124,594 working "man-hours", as you say like 60 years of working. But that value goes down every year I do actually work and as my retirement investments grow.
I assume OP asked it that way to normalize and anonymize it a little.
Well good luck reaching that goal. However 60 years of work seems way to high.
