That is the same problem. Many people can not save $1 per $10 earned. This is because after everything is sorted out, more than 50% of income goes to living expenses. With a house, car, and food, you're talking upwards of $30,000 a year in just living expenses. Not to mention going out with friends, any vacations you may take, any accidents or car break downs you encounter.
Saving 1 to 10 is much more plausible than 1 to 1:, but it will not make you rich in the long run.

30 years interest at an unheard of 5% fixed, if you spend $50,000 per year you save $5,000 per year, you would have $370,413. Which is quite a bit of money, but in no way rich. You'd be able to pay off your house (maybe, depending on where you live) and that's about it.
