Is this a digg by an X'er "I want it all given to me?"
Puhleese!
I’m an X er. I figure that for me to live a comfortable retirement I need the equilivant of $200,000 per year in income. Today, you need 4,000,000 in T-bills to pay for that risk free. By the time I retire I figure I’ll need at least 10,000,000, to have a decent retirement.
As noted in the initial post “What, exactly, is stopping him from selling the house, moving someplace cheaper, and ...finding a job that doesn’t require him to work so many hours” if he’s unhappy?
