I was curious about this as well but can't find any concrete sources.

A blog [1] says the argument goes something like this: “The first $100,000 is a b*tch, but you gotta do it [...] I don’t care what you have to do—if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn’t purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000. After that, you can ease off the gas a little bit.”

Is this 100k in 1950 dollars or what?

1990 was when the quote was made so 100k in 1990 dollars - so $200K today
