I know several people with normie jobs (not tech related or government) and normie lifestyles that saved up enough money to never need to work again by 50 while still maintaining their lifestyle. Most still work because they have no idea what to do with their time even though they don’t need to work anymore.
You can easily derive that this is possible from the median household finance statistics published by BLS, never mind the upper class. It isn’t that hard if you care to do it.
No one is doubting that it is possible to save enough to retire by the time you’re 50 - as long as the ACA and the open market is viable.
Just leave the US, problem solved.

I’ve already researched the residency requirements for both there and Panama
