According to the Fed

  - Median bank account balances in the U.S. range from $5,400 for those under 35
  - ... $13,400 for ages 65–74

So yeah, in range.

Does it require saving? Yes. But most Americans go on vacation each year. Give up the cost of a few years of vacations and you have this one.

I want to stress "not out of reach" doesn't mean easy. It explicitly doesn't mean one doesn't have to reach. I'd have said something very different if I meant most Americans could easily go on that trip. I specifically mean if it's something they really wanted to do, enough to save over a few years (or more) then that's something that could be accomplished.
