Could you retire on $1 Million?

I won't. While monetary benefits are just one way of seeing work, I just love working. And I don't think I'll be happy without doing what I love. So retirement isn't my cup of coffee. :)

A big No,

Only if I had invested them somewhere where I am earning a good 5 to 10% return.

If the 1 million dollars is in India. Yes with this amount you can retire here and live a comfortable life

In Germany you would have to live VERY frugally and/or be very lucky with your investments to retire on that money. That is, if you still expect to live for quite a few decades.

Depends on where, your life style, and age. But for an middle-class life style in any western country, that is more often that not a no.

There is the 4% rule, popular in the FIRE movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early). It is a rule of thumb of how much you can withdraw from your portfolio per year, taking into account future returns and a 30-year retirement horizon. So, roughly, will you get by with $40,000/year? If so... maybe you could? Even within the same country, if you live in a big city versus countryside the cost of living is vastly different. So your milage may vary.

No. Definitely not with a family in the US. I tried "retiring" for a year about 6 years ago, and living off the income of my digital products. I realized it is more exciting to be building.

in the Philippines, YES!

$1M is where you can start scaling, but not to retire!
