In theory you could live of

In theory you could live of the interest of a million dollars. Let us say that you decide to "fill in" with walks on the beach and volunteering. Perhaps you grow a garden. Suddenly you're spending less on petrol, childcare (maybe), work clothes, stress related problems. Your kids are happier, and prefer your time and attention to expensive toys. With time to burn and spare, you and your spouse are closer. You are happy, and suddenly spending less. A lot less, in fact. Quite a lot less. In fact, less than your interest...
Congratulations! You're savings are growing on 0 income! Whoo hoo!
