I agree with this. I'm thinking about quitting my current job because it leaves me completely stuck and I'm not sure that I'll ever make enough to take care of my family.
I just looked over the numbers for this week and here's where I currently stand:
Cash + Taxable Brokerage: $128,141.10
Retirement Accounts: $1,252,894.35
529 College Savings Accounts: $180,451.77
Alternatives: $187,291.94
Home Equity: $70,406.61
Net Worth: $1,819,185.77

"...there’s also a negative feedback loop (as you earn more you tend to inflate your lifestyle which puts that mark farther out)"
This is key.
You have to set your lifestyle & COL at a reasonable lower point and maintain that setpoint going forward.
Lifestyle creep is an addiction: we always want more, more, more; and whenever we get a hit, it's never as good as the last.

It's easy for are country bogglehead fags to say this when they're being careful to not overreact to temporary 50k increases in their propane business because it's been a "busy summer." Good for them for being prudent.
It's hard to do this in practice when you watch your yearly comp go from e.g., 250k to 500k to 1m to 2m to 5m over 10, 15 years, you get caught up on the treadmill very easily.

I think most people live better/more expensively at 45 than at 25.
Some expansion is necessary (more BRs for more kids), and some is not (fancier autos).
Actively controlling that treadmill and finding the point at which one is happy and doesn't need to keep buying moremoremore is a conscious decision that's difficult in the face of modern GC.
