You and tens of thousands of other smart people who could be doing something other than maximizing attention and shilling trash products. Good luck undoing 3.5MM of damage with social work.

I mean stick with math for everything. Value of a human life is ~10M [1] so it's pretty easy to undo 3.5M of damage if you spend decades helping people.

Do you work for a non profit?

you might net 200K a year if you're lucky, and assuming you live like a miser and save/invest 150K a year, that's really not enough to retire on

Doesn't the depend on where you live and how old you are?

In my part of the US, you can live like a king on $200k/yr and such jobs aren't rare. You can live better than 90% of the people here on $100k, and putting 100k/yr away for retirement is genuinely more than enough unless you're in your 40s or so.

But I know there are other parts of the US where what you say is 100% true.

and OP was saying that he'd like to work for 10 years and retire. it's not really retirement if you only stop working for 10 years.

I just mean that you need far higher incomes than 350K for 10 years (gross) to be able to stop working entirely

Oh, I missed that part. Yes, if you want to shoot for that goal, it requires a huge sacrifice and a lot of misery.
