@evan $1M sounds like a lot if you're thinking in pre-year 2000 dollars, but these days, it isn't that much anymore

A record share of U.S. homes are worth $1 million or more. See which cities have the most.

Many million-dollar properties are no longer considered luxury homes, with almost 1 in 10 U.S. houses costing at least that.

@jonathan @evan

I assure you, $1M per year still sounds like a lot to a 3-person family with a single income well below $100k in 2026.

I honestly can't see why anyone would *need* more than $1M per year.

@courtcan @jonathan The question is about total wealth (assets minus debts), not annual income. $1M in a paid-off home and retirement savings is a lot different than $1M/year!
