Word to the audience here, many of whom are in a similar position. Please just keep quiet about it.

Not because that's the decent thing to do while other people are struggling, there's a technical reason I'll explain.

The Fed's inflation target is to stimulate "job growth". That is a euphemism for debasing money (via money supply expansion , aka QE & other tactics) so that people have to work harder.

What it also means is that people who may be comfortable managing life & responsibilities with partial work or early retirement are forced back into the workplace.

Sure it's great you have 7 figures of assets and are outside of the crashing wave. But the entire workforce & those at 1-1.5 Σ are running on a treadmill that's increasing in velocity.

the more you brag about having the money to retire, the more signals you send to the Fed and policy makers to keep cranking up the money supply treadmill to keep the pressure on working people.
