26, $10k. Commenting to let others know that not everyone has the above.

Life events and medical came up that have caused me to allocate significant funds elsewhere. Only JUST starting to contribute

Great comment. I just checked, and when I was 26, I had $19k put away. You're still young, don't sweat it. Better late than never, just do what you can, when you can.

42, 381k. Spouse 384k. For perspective I'll add that at 28, I had 27k, since it appears the average person here is in their 20s. Unfortunately only contributed to the company match probably until only 5 years ago. Didn't start maxing them out until 3 years ago. But finally at a point where we are contributing 86k+ to retirement each year. Point is, it adds up fast, even if you think you're behind the game.

If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
