I'm not from the US either (although I did live there briefly), I am from France. But same difference: the French minimum wage may be 1350 euros, but once you know that it is virtually impossible to find an apartment in Paris for under 1000 euros a month, it's easy to see that most people have no hope of saving 50,000 bucks in their life time.
Lawyers making $130,000 a year, sure, but you need to balance that number with the starting salary of $60,000 for over $100,000 of average student debt.
