Sure, there could be problems, and you need to be smart and flexible, but it's simply not the case many people can't get through life on $2 million.

Especially when you consider that most people don't earn $2 million when working their entire lives.

That's not true. The median income in the US is around $45k. That's somewhere around 45 years work to earn $2 million. If you start work at 20 and retire at 65...

this is one of those instances in which a mode is better to get a true average american income than a median because the top earners skew the median so much. so while i know 45k is probably a little more than what most people make, im not sure how much more.
