$1MM is a great inheritance. But the point was that it is a lot less than it used to be because so much is eaten up by the need to pay for inflated real estate.

And John, that's cool that you bought two houses before your grandparents died, but if you look at real estate prices today compared to a normal income for a 30 y.o., I think you'll see that those days are gone
