Hi, looking for a clarification...

Question: What's the "real" mathematical formula for knowing your Money System Target?

In Chapter 37: Give Your Road A Destination @MJ DeMarco states

To calculate your money system target, multiply your Net Living Cost by 12, then divide by .05, or 5%. Five percent is the minimum expected yield on a money system.
So, based on this formula, if my monthly Net Living Cost is $10,000 per month then my Money System Target would be $2,400,000.

Money System Target = ($10,000 x 12)/.05 = $2,400,000

But doesn't this assume you get paid yearly from your Money System?

I'm new to investing, but I know using some apps (like Wealthfront) I can withdraw earnings each month.

So then doesn't this mean my Money System Target is really $200,000 and NOT $2,400,000 (granted I still get 5%+ returns each month)?
I'd appreciate any clarifications or insights to the accuracy of my thought process.

Thank you!
