A ruff guide on inflation is that it makes a dollar worth 50 cents every 20 years or so

So, knowing that, it depends on “when” “what it used to be” was.

so it would take ruffly 2 million to equal 1 million 20 years ago, and 4 million to equal a million 40 years ago (this is just a ruff rule of thumb)

you have to save and invest in the stock market like the dickens, cash money funds just won’t do it.
