The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

    There is no definition of being wealthy that does not include people that make $120k/year.

    You are richer than 80% of the country at that point. Lots of people have families in high COL cities and live on significantly less money than that.

    Maybe a hurricane, strong winds or just normal wear and tear made their house roof leak, thats $20k right there, ask me how I know.

    I literally spent $24k on home repairs this summer, and I just pay it in payments, and I make 6 figures. No normal person pays this in cash, outright.

    My roof replacement a few years back was $8k covered by home insurance.
