you can have a good job, w a good 401k match that you make the most of, and a nice house, and you get to a million pretty quick. but that doesnt mean much more than being able to send you kids to college, and take care of elderly parents. maybe be able to take nice vacations.
it really doesnt go a whole hella lot farther than that, and if you lose that job, you fucked.
