You're assuming that everyone living today will live for more than 40 years. Ageist much? (I'm kidding.)
No, I'm not delusional. I'm not saying "never work again and live in luxury." I'll gladly live in a studio apartment for a few years while I put some of that money work for me (instead of me working.) It's doable.
Edit: you can also move to a relatively safe country where 20K a year gives you the same standard of living as a middle-class westerner - minus the 9 to 5 grind.
