$2.3 Million is enough, if you intend living in the Unabomber style cabin for the rest of your life.

Don't worry about avoiding the temptations of money if you win big, as you get older the temptations will avoid you.

Especially since $2.3 Million invested in the stock market(Microsoft or Facebook) would turn that money into $10 Million within 5 years to 10 years down the road. Getting to the first $1 Million will be very difficult. But once there, invest the money and make it grow.

Hey!! My net is worth 7.99$ with a coupon from Lowes;)

Can't wait to go fishing with it.

No doubt I could blow thru 5 mill easily...in the first three months! Maybe it's because I'd give to those who were positive forces when my life was in the negative. Pay it forward.

There was a study a few years back, about how much money people think it takes to be wealthy . They found that the answer was consistent across all income levels, from people in poverty to billionaires: twice the person's current income and assets. No one seems to consider themselves rich - the more money they have, the more they're aware of how much they can't do with that amount.

There's a scene in the movie The Gambler where a discussion between the characters played by John Goodman and Mark Walhberg chat about what you do when you're up $2.5 million. I won't post the Youtube video, because there are a few bad words spoken. But it sums it up nicely.

I won't call it outright click-bait garbage because he has at least done some research. But, his conclusion on whether 2.3 M is enough to feel rich is wrong because, like all subjective things in life, it just depends on the individual. His position is supported by a lot of generalizations and assumptions about what people want and need that are probably reflective of his wants and needs. All I can take away from the video is that 2.3 mill wouldn't be enough for him.

$2.3 million is more than enough, because in the US a significant portion of the population won't earn that much during the rest of their life. Depending on their age it would let them live a lavish life of leisure or merely be secure while continuing to work at the average job.

What $2.3 million isn't is enough to do, unless you're closer to death than most of us, is indulge in some of the finer things. It will let you spend 15 to 20k on a fancy trip to Bora Bora now and then, but the annual... [ More ]

The Hedonic effect is a proven principle. We are never satisfied. We need to search for happiness wherever we are in the rich lifestyle.

I would feel rich with $5 million.
