Likely lifetime earning of even a modest middle manager nowadays, so
yes.

There was an advertising campaign back in the 1970's for ISTR a
Building Society.
ISTR the theme was a young chap collecting his Girlfriend in an old
banger with her parents looking on with disdain. The strap line was
the comment "Tell them you are going to be worth xx thousand pounds"
and went on to suggest an average salary over a career with a few pay
rises thrown in .
I cannot recollect what the xx amount was but the figure would seem re
markedly low now. Many of the targets for that commercial will be on
the run down to retirement now,some will already have done so but not
if they only became worth the amount in the Advert.
Can anybody remember the figure?
