Do you think a million dollars is a lot of money?

[Anonymous]

I read it would take an average American 25-30 years to make that money factoring in expenses and taxes. 15-20 for a bit higher earners

If my family wasn’t very wealthy I’d be panicking. I still need to work very hard, but it gives me the chance to reap the rewards of being successful as my parents suffered the most.

A million dollars is a lot

It’s a fortune

A million dollars isn’t a lot

It is a lot of money but not a fortune. Where I live it is a nice house but not a great house and it is not a secure retirement anymore either

It's not a lot of money at all. Not in NY anyway.

For anyone who doesn't think that, feel free to give me that million dollars. It is not much anyways, so why keep it?
