LOL, he didn't say $4m wasn't enough. He said he would not be going to bed smiling, if he accumulated it through a lifetime of hard work. I share his sentiments.
I know of a few people who proclaimed to the world that they would do such and such things when they attained certain wealth or income only to quietly change their position when they reached their targets.
$4m may feel like a lot of money when you are starting out, but not when you are nearing your retirement. For eg. I wouldnt go out and buy myself a Merc or BMW now while I probably would if I was only 35 if I had $4m. I would also buy one for the wife too.

Perhaps you will feel better if you can make the money work for you, i.e. put in income-generating assets so that the passive income generated can cover your expenses.
