> Keep in mind this industry is very ageist, you'd be lucky to even get 30 years of high salary income

In the valley maybe, at a FAANG. In the regular world, esp F500 companies, there are lots of old folks. I work with several developers in their 60s. Could they get Google to hire them? Maybe not. They're still pulling down middle 100s.

> I'm surprised folks still use unrealistic examples such as these

You're referring, I hope, to the original comment that $3000 over 50 years was a deal breaker. I am not the one who thought that a 50 year time horizon made any sense at all for this discussion, I'm just playing along.

I agree with you, outside of SV I did see older folks at tech companies.

That's my bad, I thought you initially brought up the 50 years of working at a FAANG-level company to not care of TLD fees.
