> on an unjustified 125k.

Irrespective of your self perception of value, I am not sure you are fully grasping the disconnect between the growth in cost of living and the (lack of) growth in wages of the past 50 years for the average human in western economies.

By many standards we actually need that 125k just to live what we would consider a middle class life in the 1980's.
