re: Could you find 1m dollars to save your life in 24 hours?

Thats irrelevant.

My point is simply that having 1M dollars no longer means you are wealthy. Not in the way it meant 20 years ago.

I would think that most people that are 40 y/o have at least a 1M saved, no?

Most people? 40?

College degree good self discipline and upwardly mobile career? I’d say debt free and $250K total net worth at age 40 would be well on the way to retiring with $1.5 to $2MM if the stock market performs about average.

Anything more than $250K is gravy and if you bought a home in your 20s or early 30s I’d bet you’d likely be closer to or over $400K when adding home equity

That is bizarrely out of touch with reality. Have you missed the bi-annual thread about how the majority of people in the US don't have $1,000 in savings?

Even if you shift it to just white-collar workers the time between 20 and 40 is when they are generally buying a house, having expensive rugrats and being less than steller about savings.

I do agree that $1 million certainly doesn't mean what it used to in terms of wealth.

Not in 24 hours, very few people on this planet have access to that much cash they can access in a short amount of time without doing something highly illegal. Could I come up with that amount? Yes, but not in a 24 hour time frame.

I would have to try to stall until after I hit that Powerball on Saturday.
