Bear in mind the majority of that comp is equity.
My first software engineering job in London in 2011 was arguably $1m/year, if I'd hung on to the equity until now!

Real estate is the biggest struggle.
A 3.5-bed family home in Clapham is around £1m, a 4% payment on which would consume their entire net income!

Don't forget those expensive plans typically bundle say a 700Eur+ iPhone into the plan on credit...

I fail to see the difference between "real life" and "the Internet". Surely they're the same thing these days?

> one armed nuclear sub could be wiped out fairly easily if we're talking about a power like this, right?
The one that's in dock for service and repair, yes. But the others could be at sea anywhere in the world, in an unknown location.
> Would all four, if armed, be able to do much damage back?
Each sub can carry 16 x Trident D5 ballistic missiles, with a range of 6,000 mi. Each missile carries multiple warheads, each with much higher yields than those used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So certainly the potential to do lots of damage.
The US has a similar setup with their Ohio-class submarines, though I don't believe they carry such letters or equivalent.

This is not true. All new LIRs can still receive a /22 - http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/allocat...
