A million bucks isn’t worth a million bucks anymore. $1,000,000 might net you $75,000 in yearly interest, before taxes. What kind of purchasing power is that going to be at retirement?
$33/hr. was an unimaginable amount of money to me in 1998. What’s that look like when I can’t work anymore, say in 2040? How about when a loaf of bread goes from $.50 to $5.50? That’s how I know you’re a child.
FWIW, retirement studies would suggest a 4% withdrawal rate the first year, and increasing for inflation each year after. There are some other ways to go with this, but it’s a good starting place.
It’s ok. I’ll take that pesky $1,000,000 and earn that paltry $75,000 in annual interest for doing nothing. It’s ok. I’ll allieviate you from the stress of thinking how worthless it is to you. Yes, I’ll allow that.

A worker earning $36 an hour wouldn’t make $75,000 a year.
The millionaires are fine.

Oh, did I say $33/hr? Oops, I meant $36/hr.
$36 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $74,880

Probably not what you are looking for (with the limits and terms), but you get the idea.

People with your financial sophistication will be eating cat food out a can at 75. Good luck with those pesky numbers.
