Fair question. $70,000 income per year is half of that after all taxes, fees and other non-negotiable governmental goodies, unless you construct financial entities to sidestep the IRS. Two million of savings produces a net of around $75,000 per year. No longer is 75k living the good life, unless one's goal is just getting by. Try raising nine kids on 75k... after inflation... doesn't work.
To answer your question, I don't like boats unless they come with a butler. I would rather overpay for a suite on a cruise than buy a boat and keep it up.
