Really? If all I had realized over 22 years was ~US$1.24MM, with nothing else in the pipeline, I'd be seriously concerned about my financial well-being.


Seriously? That's well above many people who are perfectly comfortable with their financial status and do not feel it to be a burden on their lives.

I suppose it's a subjective thing, but it strikes me as a bit much.
