Man, I love having no work, playing video games, going on dates, hanging out with family and friends, playing and collecting card games, hiking, sledding, taking walks.

Going to work just takes away time to do all that, but without work some of it is unaffordable, that’s the only reason I go to work, but I take off as much time as I possibly can to spend that time on things that are enjoyable

when it's clear your parents became miserable when they had kids, and while loving and caring for you is kind of obvious having kids ruined their happy carefree life, it's not exactly encouraging for you yourself to also want kids

By his standard that you can choose not to work and still be fine, no, it isnt. Not even close to rich. You will need like 3-4 million iirc just to make it through your whole life with a good standard of life. Just having 1m isnt enough.

Ofc if you continue to work and you get to that 1m mark early then yes you are quite well off, but again, it is hard to say you are really rich imo. Its good money, but its not "fuck my job, i do what i want" money.
