From the math I’ve done, dual income with both high earning W-2 employees still makes it possible. Think fields like higher paying engineering, CPAs, medical professionals. Still it takes very intentional saving and some blind faith especially early on. I do think it’s getting tougher, mostly because of all the expensive temptations out there now. Delayed gratification seems all the more costly/risky.

Couple where each earn around $200K can really start stacking the savings, especially once you have a nest egg working for you.

Charlie Munger had the quote of “do whatever it takes to get $100K in savings”…how large number compound on one another is the key, especially if you can hit that as early in your 20s as possible.
