As my grandpa alwAys told me: it's not how much you make, it's how much you save.
I have many friends that make over 100k with no savings. 2,000-3,000 rent, 500-1,000 car payment, they go out for dinners a few times a week. Now add 1-2 international trips, some random expenses and they basically live paycheck to paycheck.
I thing every professional should target $2M by 65. Maxing your 401k should put you around this number.
