10 million dollars is not as much wealth as it was ten years ago.
Isn't that the point? If I wrote 2 or 3, people could talk about absurd land prices in San Francisco or medical emergencies for five of their children simultaneously. But when we are talking about 10, it's pretty hard to come up with a plausible hypothetical situation where the money is actually necessary, ever. I'm not questioning your ability to do craft such a hypothetical, but I am questioning your ability to do so while keeping a straight face.
It's still enough to live off the interest.
