Millennials who make over 5 million a year
Millennials who make over $200k a year, what do you do? How did you get there?
My wife and I each make this. I’m 20, she’s 22

I’m a software engineer.

She’s a financial advisor. She makes more than me

Financial Independence, Retire Early ("FIRE")?

Popular is moving to a low cost of living area, working remotely, and living more frugally. The locals tend to be sensitive to increases in the property values, the local economy not being able to sustain in relation to an influx of outside investment.

However, living frugally can free up resources which can then be invested towards greater returns. Exacerbating the "wage gap". Jeff Bezos famously reinvested his money into Amazon, buying businesses and not turning a profit through most of his tenure in running the company. Speed running capitalism.

Unfortunately, inflated economies where incomes of $200k annually are "normalized", tend to drive up the prices of commodities, in addition to property values. If you're not pressed for cash, then it is difficult to be sensitive to price increases on behalf of your fellow Americans. Moving to a economically depressed, or simply not overly inflated, region is not going to help much in that regard. Which means it is a temporary advantage in the system, until "return to office" mandates are issue, or the trend grows to become normalized.

Once the trend is normalized, you might be cemented in whatever position, and no longer have financial leverage.
