    A million ain’t what it used to be.
    To retire from wage slavery with reasonable comfort in America today is to have saved up enough capital to live off of the 4% rule, and that means say ~$1.5–5M, depending on location.

    If you’re one of the increasingly very few with a decent pension, things aren’t so different. While you don’t have direct control of the capital, you’re still living off its spoils.
