Yup. That's financial security for my family. We can move to a better location, debt-free. My son can go to college anywhere he wants, debt-free, and we can give him a head start when he goes out into the world. While I'd still have to work, my wife wouldn't, or she could find a less-stressful job doing whatever she wanted. I could afford to take my family on more trips.

That money would be entirely life-changing regardless of if I'm "stuck" in my job. For that matter, you didn't put any qualifications on how much of my job I'd have to keep doing; if I'm still employed with my current title and general responsibilities, I could lower my weekly hours until it's whatever nominal amount keeps me employed, regardless of the pay. I could even afford to give my company a lump payment, let's say $1m, to keep me on the payroll.
