Oh true, I forgot to account inflation, and also healthcare. While I don't think you could retire at 30 with it, 900k would give you a comfy runway to build your own income sources (like an online business or something), while living freely for many years. I guess that's what I meant by financial freedom, not necessarily not having any other income forever. And building online income streams isn't for everyone of course, but it's probably a desire of many here. On the other hand, 900k will let you comfortably retire and live like a king if you move to a lower cost of living country.

It's definitely a 'comfy runway' for a lot of folks in a lot of places, even if it's not a "never have to work again" number.
