I'm gonna call BS on some of these numbers. How often are they buying a new car? Every 3 years (avg warranty)? With no trade-in or sale?
Kids is accurate if you're paying for university but not trade school, and maybe private school beforehand. Vacation? What is that. Like a $6k/year trip?
Look, we ain't rich but we've achieved the dream at a vastly smaller number than what's shown. Oh, and we figure retirement won't be till a minimum $3M net worth.
These kinda of articles are such clickbait foolery.
I should add that our wedding, with open bar, was smallish (intimate and selective) in a gorgeous setting overlooking the Pacific in a Stanley Park Vancouver, for $9k. 45 people at $200/person.
