Plenty of workers can save that money in 5 months. I don't even think that someone need a high paying job for that, depending on your expenses. Problem is that that money buys you little nowadays.
What's that? No even a 1% of an average house anyways.
See my link about half of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck and then realize that plenty of the ones that aren't have stuff they want to spend the remaining money on to make their lives less miserable like entertainment.
Is it possible? Maybe. Is it healthy for your mental state? Probably not in a lot of the other half of Americans who can afford to save anything at all.
