You are right. I don't need the million euro since I don't know what to spend it on. What I'm looking for is freedom to learn and do new things that interest me.
I used to do this by working 6 months out of a year at most but I still don't own a house and don't have a nest egg. Nothing to ensure my family has a comfortable life if, God forbid, anything happens to me.
I like your perspective of growing passive income from 1k to 10k to 100k!
