    Need more than just a million to retire comfortably. Though, I guess if you did it on the cheap in a less developed country, it might be possible.

      That truly depends on what you mean by “comfortably”. You can very easily survive the rest of your life “comfortably” on $1 million. Unless your definition of “comfort” includes a bunch of bullshit that you don’t actually need and arguably makes your life worse for you and shorter just because you’ve grown accustomed to it.

      $1M is plenty.

        If you want to own a house and a car in a developed country, with property taxes, insurance, house repairs, car repairs etc etc etc, $1M won’t cut it. If it was, I would have retired years ago.
