I would be very curious how life changing that would be for the average HN user.

I don't make FAAANGGGG money, but I'm a pretty well paid programmer for this area and that amount would pay off the balance on my mortgage. Hell, I'd be completely debt-free if someone threw half a million in my direction and have enough left over to buy the wife a top of the line pickup truck or two. So yeah, I'd definitely consider it life changing.

It's pretty close to my FIRE number. Of course, I don't live in an expensive city.
