Pay would move from the top 3 to maybe the top 5 lol.
1 million is enough (at least at my age) to live frugally indefinitely. I could take out 2.5% a year for the next 40 years and die broke.... or, if I assume some appreciation, maybe 3%.
That's 25k to 30k a year. That's actually a good income if your housing is already paid for... if not, you wouldnt be able to afford many luxuries but you could get by... until inflation makes that 30k feel like 15k.
But if I could get that money, continue my relatively cush desk job for another 10 years, enjoy some paid for benefits and double that retire income, why not?
