Comment on What if I told you that refusing to trade your life time for money is a good and respectable choice

Considering the average salary of a neurosurgeon in the US is $565,882 to $988,473, and he did that for 10 years, I’d say it’s safer to say that trading your life really quickly for lots and lots of money and then fucking off to the mountains with a couple mil in the bank beats “good and respectable” any day.

Yep sounds like a great "get overpaid then take early retirement" story.
Lots of bankers and other overpaid people can do this type of thing too.
This lifestyle doesn't seem sustainable if scaled to any meaningful share of the current population.
