My goals are about the same, and sometimes I worry whether they're ambitious enough. But they really are. It takes a very particular reference frame to make them "simple" or "modest." $120k is a 90th percentile income! And that's among people working full time for it.


Yeah, I think $5K/mo with no mortgage is plenty in most parts of the US. In NJ with a big house, that can disappear into just property taxes...

Regarding fame, I think the words of the late 20th Century philosopher David Cassidy summed it up best

If you are desperate for fame and fortune, try just fortune and see how that works out for you.
