How in the hell is $40K a relatively small amount of money?
1 comments

It's less than the median household income. If you save 15% of the median income for a few years, you could come up with $40k. It's also small relative to $4.5m (0.88%).
How many people making $50K a year can afford to save $15K of after-tax income? Single people living with their parents?
