The top performers (top tier in best mncs, self made bosses) will always make most, but most of us will pan out average

Agree, then it reaches a stage of how much a person wants to achieve to be "comfortable". Setting my own expectations, I aim for a minimum of $20k/mth by 40-50 (or more than $260k/yr) and I am contented. Not going crazy with some of the cannon fairies of making $400k by 30 and whatnot. Those are like top 1-5% of the working population in all age groups already. If you can achieve that, well, congrats! You can comfortably go for the 5Bs (Bungalow, Bentley, Business class travel, Boss, Breasts? Iykwim)
