They have to fund his retirement. That advice doesn't come cheap.

It ain't cheap to manage those assets (and put you in actively managed funds with front end load fees mind you).

It's less dependent on salary and much more dependent on expenses.
Broda

But there is a reason they use salary.
Eddie

Salary is horrible indicator for someone who has a very high savings rate (30%+).
TheLoneCougar

Yup. It is.

I get where you are coming from and I don't really have an answer for the general population.

Any rules of thumb based on salary are garbage. Base it on your annual expenses

Much different to have $100K saved as a 40 yo doctor vs. as a 40 yo HS teacher.
dYrtbYkerYder

Not if the doctor lives like the teacher.
