Just saw this post on CNBC suggesting you should shoot for $3M by age 50 by merely investing $5k per month from age 22 - 50.

I’m sorry, but are the NYC journalists at CNBC woefully out of touch, or just incredibly overpaid?
Nevermind, student loan payments, housing, living expenses, getting married and having a family, etc., do kids coming out of school now have incomes that can support putting away $5k per month or $60,000 per year. Presumably some of that would be after tax as 401(k)s and IRAs have limits.
What am I missing?
