> $20M is retirement money. $1.2M isn't.

I live in a HCOL area, so I get this sentiment. But it doesn't match at all with actual reality in the US. The median 65-69 year old has a net worth of $272k, with the average being $1.25M [0]. A lot of places are pretty cheap - especially since even modest earners could get thousands of $ in SS each month.
