This is very similar with what I tell people: that every time you put another zero on your net worth, your world changes. The follow-up is that you probably shouldn't be taking life advice for your immediate situation from people who are more than one zero in either direction away from you because they're giving advice for their world, not yours. my personal financial life goal is never to be worth more than $10M and I am knocking that go a lot of the park right now! Life after $10M, from knowing people with that kind of money, just gets more and more complicated and no one seems truly happy, as they drown in first world problems.

I hope so - I have been saying for a while, once I get to 10m, I'm going to quit working and start focusing on doing things to help other people. I figure 4% = 400k, take 200k and reinvest it, and take the other 200k and use it. Its christmas time, I'd like to go to my local box store and buy out the lay-aways. Donate some hams and turkeys to the poor. As long as I've done what I can to take care of myself and family, I think its important to start helping other people. One of our big flaws in society is we try to categorize people too much. That leads to the wealthy looking down on others. Middle class looking down on others. The poor looking down upon who they can. It is not necessary. Once you have food, home, and some basic luxuries, all you need is to save for the retirement days.
