This is irresponsibly optimistic. A month or two to get to 60 would be if you had an extremely twinked character to start, someone to powerlevel you, and enough money to do Chardok AE groups from 56-60, and if you played literally 60 hours a week.

Just to get from 59-60 with an extremely powerful solo class would take a minimum of 50 hours of soloing.

For your first character starting from scratch, with 20 hours of playtime per week, 6 months to level 60 is a REALLY decent target to shoot for.
