I'm all about comfort though, couldn't care less about style. I'm the guy who wears sweatpants to a bar and doesn't give a crap.

Those Siennas when you trick them out with leather seats and the DVD players for the kids and the premium sound systems with the MP3 blue tooth; it's very chill. Very comfortable.

Besides, you can't have a Porsche and a 'Vette when you need to cart a couple young'ns around. A million might make me rich, but it wouldn't take the practical out of me.

I'll agree with you on vans. While the idea itself sounds a little lame, my parents had a Dodge Caravan that I drove while my car was getting fixed for about two months. I had just gotten my first job ever and money was FLOWING in, so I basically pimped this thing out with a crazy sound system, tint, LCDs and a DVD player. People BEGGED to ride with me home from school. If you do it right, you can't beat a nice comfy van.

Retire on one million? Come on, you can't retire on that unless you have ten years to go before death.

If I had a million, I'd try to make into two million. I wouldn't touch that money for at least another 10 years.

Actually, depending on how much income you wanted, you really could retire on a million if you could live life simply.

Put that million in a bond fund that returns about 6% on average, and you're grossing $60,000 per year without even having to tap into your principal.

You'd have to buy health insurance on your own which is expensive (but some people do that already). And you'd need to pay taxes on the $60,000 income. But it could be done.

Though I'll agree, you're much better off socking it away for a while, letting it double or triple, and then retiring on it.

Whose bonds are you buying at 6% yield? Oh and you can buy tax free bonds but they definitely don't pay 6%.
