If I made 400,000 a year, I would work for five years, have 1.8 million dollars socked away, and quit.
That said "make a budget" probably isn't a terrible idea if they don't have one, which this letter implies they don't, because if they're paying 200000+ a year mortage, 120,000 a year in private school tuition, 50000 a year on nannies, have three or four large car payments, throw out twenty thousand here or there for vacations or sleepaway camp, and are lavishly spending on day-to-day stuff without any tracking, some people really aren't saving much on 800,000 a year. It would give LW peace of mind to know how well they're actually doing.
