      Think about it.

      Even twenty years ago, $1 million meant you could buy a great place for yourself and a business that would let you live large.

      In 1960, $1 million meant a Beverly Hills mansion, a dozen cars, and a place by the beach.

      Kind of a giant leap from that to ‘living stingy.’

        I mean we’re splitting hairs at the point. It’s still a perfectly good middle class income, especially if you own your house already.

        Absolutely not. It’s enough to provide you with any $4000 a month of retirement income. It’s a very middle class income to live comfortably.
