That depends. My folks do well but you know what? My dad is still running around with an Omega watch from the 1950s. He said it's still working so why buy a new one? He drives his cars until they fall apart. They've lived in the same house for about 30 years now even though they could have that McMansion.
It's all about how you choose to live. If you don't give a crap about keeping up with the Joneses (who most of the time are leveraged like a subprime mortgage company with offices in Vegas, Orlando, and Orange County) then it is very easy to have that six figure job without having to buy the fancy car and house and blah, blah, blah.
