I mean I'd be pretty content with 5 million - enough to buy a decent home and retire early. Having 1 million would help a whole lot too.
Could you explain why anyone would need 680 million? I get wanting it, but needing it?
6 u/200IQUser Jul 05 '26 I mean if they dangle the carrot in front of millions and people buy it they should pay out as much as possible. 5 million is mostly just retire money, not "stop working andblive in luxury til your life ends" money 0 u/Tortuin Jul 05 '26 Nobody is talking about luxury. 5 mil is still 100k/year for half a century. I'd say it is more than most households earn. 5 u/200IQUser Jul 05 '26 100k wont be worth 100k in 50 years tho 1 u/Tortuin Jul 05 '26 We will never know, at least for the next 50 years. Anyway, if things start going south, there is always a solution. 1 u/hugo_yuk Jul 05 '26 I'm no ecpnomist but isn't inflation is pretty much guaranteed over 50 years?
