Wise words!

$1m nowadays dont go very far. At $50k pa expenses, it takes less than 20 years to eat up $1m (with inflation). If you retire at 50, 20 years mean you will only be 70.

Similarly, $50k pa doesnt buy you much. Most families with children still schooling would need at least $60k to $80k pa.

With a car and maid, the expense will go up to $120k pa or more.
