I agree 100%. Everybody is trying to become ultra-rich, famous, whatever. I think it's mostly useless. If you can get to $100k/year passively, which would be assets of 2-2.5mil... that would be insanely comfortable.

Also, who wants to live without any job or making any money when you're 25-45 years old? Realistically you'll want to make moves and provide value.

Great advice about prioritizing personal happiness. It's up to the individual, not some arbitrary wealth or what society dictates.
