What in the world do they base these figures on ? I exist comfortably with total monthly expenditures at about 1100 total? That’s everything (including property tax) I take in under 30K yearly and have no car note or house note? I thank God everyday for living so luxuriously and my families health? If I had 7 figures I’d be on the water putting around hugging the east coast and doing the loop AGAIN! (Did it once 35 years ago.)
Same here. I did my traveling when I was young and energetic and curious. Now I'm into puttering on my property and hanging out with family, and you don't need a million to do that.
It is relative. I do fine where I live and have plenty to spare after monthly expenses, but I would be living in a homeless tent I lived in LA...
