I wonder what he means by that. To me it's the exact opposite. I don't want anything extravagant - none of the things one might picture when one thinks "millionaire's lifestyle"; no big house, no luxury car, no exotic vacations, etc. The only (or at least primary) thing I'd like is the security to pay my modest expenses and cover any potential emergencies in perpetuity, without relying on a job and without moving to a cheap country to reduce living expenses (I would like to stay close to my family in the US). For that, I do need a million dollars, and even that is barely enough.

I don't think he means typical TV millionaire lifestyle. It's referencing things like being able to "travel the world" which many people think requires being rich; when it reality it can be totally doable if you have enough of an open mind and are willing to get creative
