Depends on where, your life style, and age. But for an middle-class life style in any western country, that is more often that not a no.
Uma Venugopal
You can if you know how to make that money grow.
emmanuel Onuoha
@uma_venugopal yeah but you don’t have to work again.
Uma Venugopal
@emmanuelonuoha not exactly. If you know how to build a custom financial pipeline to put the money into it and make it grow, you can continue to work but the definition of that work will change. Maybe before you were working for a paycheck but now you have the financial freedom and you can work on projects close to your heart without the end result being monetary.
emmanuel Onuoha
@uma_venugopal this makes sense. And I agree with you now
Apostolos Toptsis
No you can’t. Making your money grow isn’t retiring you still have to put effort to invest it
Apostolos Toptsis
@emmanuelonuoha in todays economy a $1 million isn’t going to put you in a position of never needing to work again unfortunately
Not living in Singapore! No!

@maxwellcdavis is it that expensive?

Depends on the country that you are living in. In US, maybe No. But in India, definitely yes.
Aditya Narayan Rai
Not sure. Depending upon your life style you might or might not. But If you can make some really awesome investments you might. But its a bit of luck TBH

Depends on many factors such as location, lifestyle, family situation... In most cases, probably no, unless you can make some good investments with high compound interest...
Kevin Li
Of course not.. Only if I can buy an AI to make money for me with $1 million.

100% - One nice house with some land in the countryside anywhere in Europe to live in (500k) 2 small flats in mid-sized cities in Europe - live off the rent

@emmanuelonuoha it's all down to plan & location. A Milli is also easily squandered in a few years if you live recklessly in any major city. Could probs squander it in 2 years in NY haha
Anna Shults
No, it's boring not to work.
Maria Loleyt
Absolutely no! I target to have much more to invest further in impact-driven projects, especially in the field of cultural heritage preservation.
Christopher Nguyen
I thought I could but $1M is too little now, giving all the inflation is happening everywhere 😅
Christopher Nguyen
@emmanuelonuoha You are right! Could I ask a small favour? My product, the Junior Design Bundle, is officially launched! Your support would mean the world to me! 🙏🥺 Thanks in advance!

NO. Also, whether $1 million is enough for retirement depends on factors like your lifestyle, expenses, investment strategy, and inflation.
Jean Stewart
Possible, Just need to have a plan what to do with it.
Rok Bozic
If you get 3%-5% anually on that 1 million you could actually live okay-ish in most of the world. But, this is not counting housing. Even in Slovenia, a small country in Europe where I live $1m won't get you much unless you want to live in some village. Bottom line, yes but I would rather keep working till $5m+ then I can think about retiring, if I want to do it or not.
Alec Nguyen
depending on where you are
Tatiana Tompkins
I would say yes as long as I made the right moves with it!
Simon Peter Damian
Absolutely. Giving it's $1m without tax, that's lot.
Nope, I've got two kids to put through university and help buy their first home *nervous laugh*
Lukas
When living rural and on low cost, than yes.
