30 years of money banked is quite a bit no matter which way you slice it.

It’s pretty much the definition of fuck you money

Having enough money to not lift a finger until the year 2056 is absolutely in the "fuck you" zone.

30 years of living expenses banked is absolutely "fuck you" money. 50th percentile income is not.
A rough calculation suggests the floor for '30 years subsistence' is about ¥120m/$800k, a sum that's pretty much impossible to accumulate at the 50th percentile of wages.
