My sentence:

> other than the ability to buy a house or something, and feel safe with a retirement nest egg

Your sentence:

> 800k is the ability to buy a house and support a family on a single income

So we agree.

The thing you missed in my post:

> day to day

Day to day it doesnt feel different when you own a house vs rent one.

Day to day you're eating the same food, entertaining the same ways. Doing the same thing with your friends, family, and loved ones.

The 50% of your waking life that's not your job is not meaningfully different.

So when the other 50% starts to feel dramatically different, you notice.
