> other than the ability to buy a house or something, and feel safe with a retirement nest egg
Your sentence:
> 800k is the ability to buy a house and support a family on a single income
So we agree.
The thing you missed in my post:
> day to day
Day to day it doesnt feel different when you own a house vs rent one.
Day to day you're eating the same food, entertaining the same ways. Doing the same thing with your friends, family, and loved ones.
The 50% of your waking life that's not your job is not meaningfully different.
So when the other 50% starts to feel dramatically different, you notice.
