    Depends very much on where you live and what counts as comfortable. In Canada one mil basically buys you a crackshack in Vancouver or a older four bedroom out in the country. Retiring with an additional mil in the bank might not be super “comfortable” as in going on regular vacations, affording property taxes and so on…

    But yeah, most places aren’t like that.

      Yea housing in Canada sounds pretty fucked. I live in Amsterdam we have a housing crisis but half a mil can get you a decent place.

      If you put the other 1.5mil in investments and pull 50k per year out as a salary with no mortgage to pay you can probably live quire comfortably for 40 years. (no crazy vacations and stuff)

      Amsterdam is also one of the most expensive cities in the world, so I think with 2mil you’ll live comfortably in most places in the world
