I never said anything about solo, so don't put words in my mouth.
Apart from that, though... yes, that is exacltly what I am saying. I'm not sure what you see as "ludicrous" about that. Sure, 65k may be more than the average american household, but do you really think the average american household can raise 2 kids without any worries about money (which is what EmperorIQ asked about)? I don't. I will say one thing, though: given that I live in NYC, my cost of living may be scewing things a bit, but I am sure you can scale up or down based on any other location.
And can "ibankers" make 500k after a few years? Of course. You might want to do some research on this before making blanket statements.
anyways, if you think that 500k is necessary for an easy life, then you'll always be chasing a magic butterfly
So you are telling me that if someone gave you $500k right now, you would never need to worry about money again in your life?
