"I Reached $1MIL and All I Got Was This Lousy $40K/YR" - Man

We save and we save and all we get is a comfortable life years before society tells us we should. The nerve! Forget Ferraris and champagne fountains—this is what true wealth looks like. "I reached $1MIL and all I got was this lousy $40K/YR for the rest of my life" is the sarcastic badge of honor for anyone living the 4% rule dream. Because while others chase status, you’re living off dividends, index funds, and peace of mind. It’s frugal. It’s funny. It’s FIRE.
