   Wow, $4m is what you'd need to keep your standard of living? My father and I always said $2m is the magic number. We also assume you can pull 5% APR, which seams realistic but I honestly don't know for sure.

    Good to know that not dropping out of school to work for them 2 years ago was the right choice.
