Being a millionaire isn't what it used to be. I reckon $10m would buy my retirement, $1m just wouldn't be enough for my expensive tastes.

At an average return of 3% and drawing $4,000 a month it should last 30 years. Given my age and the number of pies I have eaten it will probably be enough.

Besides, there is tax and inflation to take care of. That $4k might sound like it's enough to live on now, but in 20 or 30 years? If you could find a $4k/mo indexed link income from that $1m - then yeah, I could see that.
$10m on the other hand, I could splurge $5m on a house, a couple of hundred on a nice car or two and then use the rest to live lavishly without working. It's not fair that I don't have it.

That said $10m would certainly be better.
