    That truly depends on what you mean by “comfortably”. You can very easily survive the rest of your life “comfortably” on $1 million. Unless your definition of “comfort” includes a bunch of bullshit that you don’t actually need and arguably makes your life worse for you and shorter just because you’ve grown accustomed to it.

    $1M is plenty.

      If you want to own a house and a car in a developed country, with property taxes, insurance, house repairs, car repairs etc etc etc, $1M won’t cut it. If it was, I would have retired years ago.

          A 105" TV, a pool, a guest house, boat, new phones model every year, latest tech etc. How else do you live comfortably? /s

            That’s the issue though. They believe that is the only way to live, and that is the way they live, so that is the right way to live, so they will oppose anything that will infringe on their living that exact way.
