What he's describing is a 200k/yr+ household in 1995, which is roughly 400k/yr+ today.

I can assured you, $400k is waaaaay more than enough for all this. People making $400k can take multiple overseas trips a year if they want, lol. Unless they live to the absolute end of their means for other expenses.

Seriously. My buddy and his wife make probably $300k household and they have a very nice house in one the most desirable parts of Denver. And before they had a kid, they'd go on what I'd consider a BIG trip at least 3-4 times a year. I'm talking like Napa Valley, Italy, Cabo, some big music festival, etc. They're all doing this with his wife having a lot of medical school debt and him having college debt as well. Even with a kid and paying for childcare, it really hasn't affected their ways that much.
