If I were single, it'd be no more than whatever lump sum would semi-guarantee I could have $5000 turning up every month for the rest of my life (so about $1.5m, I'd say). Since I'm married with kids, however, it might as well be an infinite amount :-D

Joking aside, I guess as a person with such amazing credentials, making $20k+ per month for you should be a cakewalk. By American standard it should be a decent mount of money to raise family with kids. But if you want to travel the world, eradicate poverty, leaving trust fund for kids then yes the number can be stretched infinitely. As a married person with kids I would be very happy making the amount of money you have mentioned passively.
Why isn't it $4m for the family? Why do your family spending so much?
