And to put a million dollars into perspective, if your current annual salary is between $50,000 and $100,000, then a million dollars only represents 20 to 10 years income, respectively. If you have fewer than that many years left before you retire, then that is different than if you are much earlier in your career.
Of course, to put things in a real perspective, I have never earned close to $50,000 in one year. On my current wage, the time it would take me to earn a million dollars (assuming I spent nothing) is approximately two years longer than the life expectancy at birth (or five years longer than the male life expectancy).
So bollocks to you and Rahvin. If I had a million dollars, I would never need to work again. The bliss.
