    people who built up millions as a tech worker,they can afford it, in the last 10 years if you been working you would likely have that much by now. if you are just starting maybe not, or a newborn on the way. alot of them are holding onto theier jobs for dear life though.

      This might be more likely for big tech workers, but it’s less realistic the further you get from the Silicon Valley archetype. Saving millions over 10 years would mean averaging $200k+ per year after taxes and expenses, which I can’t imagine will happen in my career unless I start a successful business or get lucky gambling on stocks.
