I moved to the US in 2018 and started my 401K from scratch at that time. Now I have $420K. I heard from multiple sources that “a good retirement amount in the US” is between $5M and $10M to live a comfortable retirement. What is, in fact, a good range to live an Upper Class life in a city like Houston?

28M (but look maybe 24), PA. Introvert, 5'9, eastern European/dark features. Love to talk philosophy but I can also be silly. Somewhat of a homebody but I do enjoy going out and exploring if I'm in company of friends. If I'm alone I'd rather be home and watch a psychological drama/thriller. LF someone who enjoys a balance of going out and lounging at home.
