    I would probably just retire after like 5 years if I made that kind of money. I honestly wouldn't know what to do with it.

    Also how about these people not live in the middle of Manhattan or whatever and commute a bit instead of owning a ridiculously expensive condo? This article mentioned a $2 million home, like yeah maybe that's why you're feeling the pinch at $400k per year.

      Problem is, at least with the NYC metro area specifically, all the easy commutable areas outside the city where you can have like a real home are also insanely expensive for real estate. $2 million condo in Manhattan or $2 million McMansion in NJ/Westchester.

      Agreed on the retiring though. Save that money up, after five years even if you're saving half you've got almost a million, and then just fuck off to Croatia or something.
