On: You don't really want a million dollars

[brown9-2]

Not to face bankruptcy if a major health problem arises? Not to worry about the cost of college for your children? To own a small home in NYC or SF? To afford competent legal representation if the need arises?

Surely this isn't the definition of "a dignified existence in the US", is it?

I have no idea. It's not the definition of "dignified existence in the US" for anyone I respect, that's for sure.
