Comment on Ask HN: FU Money: What is your number?

Comments

$20M at least. To me, the definition of FU money is having enough money to turn down an opportunity to make $1M simply because you wouldn't enjoy the work. Even at $5-$10M, you're still considering those kinds of offers.

People are saying much lower amounts in these comments, but one or two million doesn't go nearly as far as people think. When I think about the people I've known that are truly free and are easily able to afford enviable lifestyles, $20M seems to be starting point.
