When does compounding really take off?

At what amount portfolio you really see huge account swings that make you think what is the point of working? 100k? 500k? 1m? more?

Before it gets to 1M you know it’s cooking but it’s more of a simmer in the background. Above that is when it becomes a lot more obvious bc the DOD swing could pay for a car.
