I guess I’ll spell it out for you.

An individual making $400K is rarer than a household making $400K so if the upper bound for a household is $250K, the individual upper bound is far lower, which is nowhere near $400K.

The claim that someone that makes even $300K is “middle class” anywhere is hilarious. That person becomes a millionaire in their 20s while living a very cushy life. You’re incredibly out of touch.

I don't think you really understand what that study is saying nor the guidelines of this website.

You have poor financial education if you think it takes until your late 40s. I would recommend picking up a book on basic investing.

I had a similar income and similar rent on average and was already a millionaire before I turned 28 only investing in index funds. This includes paying off $60K in student loans. Good luck doing that on $65K/year in Ohio.
