I don't even know what I would do with that much money. Maybe have 4 or 5 kids.

Honestly in a high COL city in the US, having 4-5 kids would be doable on $300k TC but it wouldn't be easy to give them more than a middle class lifestyle at best.

Elsewhere in the US in smaller towns, I could see it being much more feasible.
