    If you want to own a house and a car in a developed country, with property taxes, insurance, house repairs, car repairs etc etc etc, $1M won’t cut it. If it was, I would have retired years ago.

          That’s the issue though. They believe that is the only way to live, and that is the way they live, so that is the right way to live, so they will oppose anything that will infringe on their living that exact way.
