You're really telling me that if you lucked into a million dollars at age 18, you could retire to West Virginia and safely live to 107? Even ignoring inflation and the like, that's barely over $11k per year. Do you expect us to believe that's a living income anywhere in the US? That's not even a living income when you're 18 and have 3 roommates.
