Yeah, that's the key point with a lot of these articles. They assume you're able to get a job making $100,000+ a year. Not sure about anyone else, but that seems like it's both unrealistic for people in many fields (aka ones that aren't tech/finance/law/medicine/high level business related ones) and unrealistic for many locations. I mean, over here in London that's a steep ask, with only about 17% of roles I've seen offering anywhere near enough for this sort of plan. So yeah, step 1 is earning a million dollars, arguably by being in the top 10-20% of your industry salary wise.
