    in the last 10 years if you been working you would likely have that much by now

    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.
