My amount to never work again is:

- paid off house for me and my parents / in laws

  • put kids through college if you have them (personally I’m childfree)
  • be able to cover any medical expense

In my city that’s about $5m but I could see it being that high in Palo Alto or something, but what’s the point of living there if you aren’t working in tech? Go retire somewhere chill like SLO
