A million ain’t what it used to be. You want to retire so you need to invest. You don’t want to pass laws that make that impossible.
But if you had free healthcare, UBI, and your home is paid off, would you really need to save that much?
If your home is paid off you could have over a million already
Especially if it considers assets. That's basically one housing bubble if you're a homeowner.
