Okay, assuming you could invest 100k out of your 170k per year into companies you know were doing well on tech from 2015, how much would you have ?

(say: AMD, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Facebook)

The answer is about 10M, which is not that far from what I estimated, even without including Nvidia. Now add in house price appreciation.

There are plenty of people who have managed to do this, from fairly normal tech jobs.
