at a certain point it makes sense - ie 5M for 1-2 years when the last two years might be painful and crippled at 82. You have to look at how much your quality of life is impacted by the need to work to make ends meet and how that effects the quality of the existence you're giving up. 5M could free up 20 years of good quality life by removing the need for constant work.

Most people have to work 40+ hours a week at a job they don't like until they're 50+. Thats 87 days worth of work a year you could reclaim to a certain extent. There is definately a benefit once you take a few things into account once you look at variables like how much total work over your lifespan you could remove and replace with recreation, the quality of the work left over (still make business decisions but not be tied to the office), the age you were going to die - obviously 2 years if you've only got 5 left is too much.. the quality of life you'd be removing - whats two less years if your last ten is with alzhiemers and prostate cancer? and so on.
that said 20 years is a relatively obvious no no. I'd be happy just for a guarantee i'd be alive in 20 years.
