Maybe we need to find a clearer definition of FU money.

It should most likely be the value of current, highly liquid assets that ensure one's long term financial security and independence.

A steady income of $250k a year should be enough for most people to enjoy a very comfortable life and potentially build up a certain amount of wealth. But what happens if you loose that stream of income (due to illness or a change in economic or political factors)? You may run out of your accumulated savings quite quickly and in turn loose your independence and security.

So far, the suggestions have been: $2 million, $6 million and $20 million.
