> 150k is an astronomical sum for most people on the planet

This assertion (regardless of the dollar value) bugs me, because it never considers the cost of living. Sure, if I lived in Vietnam, $150k would make me a relative millionaire.

But I don't live in (for example) Vietnam. A vast majority of people working a job that pays $150k don't live in a similar place either.
