It would take approximately 391.23 years to accumulate over $1 million at a rate of $213 per month.

Given the money per month = $213

For over 40 years = $102,240

To calculate the years for over $1 million

Let n be the number of months and P be the total amount received:

Where p is the total amount of money = $1,000,000

n is number of months = ?

Given the equation,

p = 213n

$1,000,000 = 213(n)

n = 1,000,000/213

n = 4694.8 in months

To calculate in years i.e in 12 months/year = 4694.8/12

= 391.23 years

Therefore, it would take approximately 391.25 years to accumulate over $1 million at a rate of $213 per month.
