Grandparent comment says in SF.

10m is not fuck you money in sf.

You can definitely spend $150+/yr in passive income in SF (or NYC or Miami), but at some point you have to realize that you're stuck on a hedonic treadmill and greed has graduated to avarice.

$10m is a monumental amount of money for one person to have, even in SF.

You can live more than comfortably on $10m in sf, but it's not going to go far for very long if you are blackballed from any work or other income.

But I guess in that case you might as well take the bag of money and go live not in sf.

10M is fuck you money precisely because it's not imperative to live in SF
