> Most people here probably have around $5-10M in assets given we’re mostly in tech

Even in a SV world I'm trying to get my head around the logical leap that gets you to this number. Median comp in SV is <500k - that's 20 years in the business to earn $10m ignoring taxes & your actual living expenditure. Obviously we can jump that with equity, but that's still not moving the dial far enough for the "majority" to be up at those heights.

I don't see how we're getting anywhere near these figures without generational wealth (assume this is the answer).
