When being a “10%-er” is what it takes to have the basics of: a modest home with a mortgage, kids in public schools, a solid retirement you’ve been paying into, a couple paid-off reasonable cars, and some decent away vacations. No substantial debt other than mortgage and maybe a car payment.
That means ~90% of the country has a hard time reaching this pretty mundane life.
