$1.5M is quite low, in my opinion. Not even close enough to retire in the US.
- guynamedloren 14y agoWho said anything about retiring? These people are 30 years old. I don't think the avg 30 year old has $1.5M cash in the bank (and a comfy position at a tech company). All I'm saying is that it's very respectable.
- rorrr 14y agoIt's slightly more respectable than someone winning a lottery. For every success story like that there are hundreds of developers who didn't take regular jobs and ended up in debt and bankruptcy.
