This video seems to suggest hitting a net worth of $5-10M is very do able as long as you invest and have a good income? I find this hard to believe considering the actual number of people who reach this net worth. Is it that it is do able but people lack discipline to invest? I did some quick, napkin math and hitting $5M would require you to live like a monk, assuming a normal 6 figure career progression and 8% market returns.
