Depending on where you live most cars you see on the road are in the ballpark. It costs about 40k to change the roof on a house around here.

So 75k is both objectively massive, and not.

I won't argue "privilege" but it seems like both people in the couple have been working for a long time and took equity bets that paid off.

Another way to look at it, in many tech jobs 75k could be a bonus (additional to salary an equity)
