Not that hard to get there even with no more than decent incomes. It hasn't been at all hard to get there.
Eight figures would be in the low foothills of real money.
It also matters where you are in life. Stupid spending and investments are much easier to recover from when you're forty than would be the case at the 60+ my wife and I now find ourselves at.
Anyone ill-mannered enough to brag about money they think they have is nobody I would choose to associate with.
They'll also get a hard lesson in reality with the next prolonged market crash.
Great post.
