Having one million in savings but still can’t truly lie flat—where exactly is the problem? If you have one million, your monthly interest is only 1,292—this is still assuming a high rate. It doesn’t even cover rent, let alone food and daily living.

In the past, I always thought having one million would be enough to lie flat. Now I’ve figured out the truth: you can’t lie flat at all. It’s simply not possible.

If you want to live on interest alone, don’t even think about it unless you have three or five million.

The issue is that three or five million is harder to reach than climbing to heaven for ordinary people.

So don’t daydream. Work if you have to work; do your grind if you have to grind. Having more savings just makes life a little more comfortable—it’s still a long way from lying flat.

For ordinary hardworking people, you’d better be honest and keep working~
