It's not. Let's not pretend it is. "Ah jeeze $4M really ain't much money guys" is such a privileged, insane statement.
Make whatever you want to make. Shoot for $200k if that's your jam, but people making that and thinking "I'm just like everyone else! Life is a slog, isn't it? Having this income is nice I guess but it could be a lot more!" is just profoundly ignorant of how the vast majority of people, and the actual middle class, lives.
That's all. Get back in touch with reality a bit.

I never said that. I am fully aware that $200k is above average, thanks. But for all of you that are outraged about the $200k number, I ask again: is that more than we want to allow in our society? Is that too much?
Again, 2 nurses, with 10 years of tenure, would make that. Yes, it is well above average, but it is not crazy. It is not uber-wealthy and in need of changing the system, or requiring luxury taxes.
