1. $250k
2. $3,000,000 - I probably would work 10-15 more years for anything under $2,000,000

Sounds like most people on here wouldn't buy a new house.

didn't get to reply to this when it was new..........we just built a house so we better not be buying a new one if our financial situation changed! Though I'd definitely do things like yard and maid service because why not.

1. I'd have to say $250k. Though I can easily recall a time that it would have been anything four digits. This amount would take care of some things/set up some things like earlier retirement but not be like "yay, buying a new house/quitting job!"

2. Seriously life changing would probably be five million or more. Set us up for a retirement that is full of travel and niceties , pay college for future kids, allow a parent(s) to stay home permanently if wanted (and not require any lifestyle change).

Also, I noticed many of you are more interested in using the cash to buy a better car instead of your freedom.

Really? I don't understand that logic, but to each there own.

Grandpa told me once cars are just a **** box with wheels to get ya from place to place, anymore is just a status symbol. Still agree to that statement 10+ years later...

I’d say:

1. $120K. It wouldn’t remove the need to keep working, but makes a significant dent in overhead and routine financial obligation.

2. $2M. Realistically would not have to work again, family financial needs covered, could invest some and still have some leisure-cash.
