Anyone remember like 12~? years ago there was a thread that was started by a lawyer. He happily shared that he was getting a $80K bonus. I was like wtf, that's someone's salary. His base was like $280K.

Adjusted for inflation, that's like $550K/yr today.

Working on my 3rd million. Lost a shit ton of cash on a few bad Wall St bets and rode it to zero like a fool or I'd be much closer to my retirement figure. $280K poof!

Never flown 1st class, never been to Europe or on Safari, don't own a home, drive a beater car.

I make great money, have no desire to buy Legos, want to retire at age 45, realistically 47. I live a simple life and splurge on camping/backpacking equip, quality craft beer and decent scotch.

My family makes me feel rich!

Have I achieved millionaire status yet? No. But, am I tirelessly working on it every day in order to achieve that goal? Also no.
