It is easily manageable. If it becomes unmanageable, then there will be riots and societal collapse well before they've inflated away 50% of the $5MM in purchasing power, so your savings wouldn't matter much anyway.
Most people have negative net worth. If any substantial percentage of people cannot eat, there will be violence.
If you own hard assets, you will be fine with the traditional 25x yearly spend imo.
Unfortunately the paycheck-to-paycheck service worker gets screwed either way.
I think so too, if you've got n debt and some cash flow or asset appreciation, while it might not beat inflation it stems some of the bleeding and at $4.4 million the appreciation and cash flow you can generate should be enough that you don't have to eat into your principle too much
If they can scale down i'm sure they'll be safe and have something to leave to their kids
I will say it does get a little bit tighter if you're trying to bake in an inheritance. I'm on that "die-with-zero" train, personally.
