Vacations about $15-$25 a year, which is largest expense. Kids education is funded and not part of $6M. It takes a lot to be wealthy these days, which isn’t me. But certainly happy where am I financially and also grateful.

Well if you’re healthy and lucky, you could live another 40 years. I think it’s prudent that you not begin a life of the rich and famous. Good on you (said in a non-sarcastic way).

They have $6m plus a $2m paid off house. They will be fine.

Reaching that milestone lowers your BS meter considerably.
