You can retire on your investments in your 30s or 40s on a higher end professional salary if you’re not an idiot with money. My old boss retired at 31. Not a CEO or a venture capitalist, just another schmuck who came in to the office to write code every day and got paid a lot of money to do it.

Indeed, particularly if one eschews chasing after some ephemeral and meaningless concept of "status".
The article repeatedly frames the professional class' decision making and motivation as pursuing status or in joining the ranks of the upper-class elite... Perhaps I live in a bubble, but this is not a trend that I observe at all among my peers, most of whom are (young) professionals.
