Around 700k at 45, but honestly only started making good money in the past 5 years. I feel if I’d made smarter choices this number would be a lot higher
I’m in a similar boat. But I think 700 is pretty damn good.
350k @ 33. No house. I was VERY lucky to never have any debt and have parents who taught me to save and invest. I've maxed out my 401k and IRA almost every year since I started working.
-110k @ 41. Do not own a house.
SAD1 just here to say I read that as “One day my roommate showed me his junk” 🤭
900k @ 41
Damn! Good for you. I’m jealous!
$2.1M at 44. One child raised solo from day 1. Invest. Live a bit below your means. Prioritize your health and spending time in nature.
~200k at 31. I have a partner, we keep our money entirely separate, but it sure helps to have someone to split rent and pet costs.
I wouldn't consider my number normal, I really hate this work and want to retire early.
That’s insanely good!
$240K at 27. No house or debt, and have always lived with roommates.
Wow wow wow
$800k at 52. Maxxx out your 401ks—wish I did that when I started out in the business at 25.
If I had 800k in a 401k at 52 I’d use some of that annual contribution money to start maxing a Roth IRA.
~240k at 33. I don’t own a home and probably never will
Maybe if I moved back to my hometown! 😭
400K @ 41.
Do it! But put a time limit on it so it doesn’t drive you insane.
*Cries in 50k*
I’m 35 yo so i still have time? Freelancing is hard.
I try to put 10% of each check on a Roth IRA. But can’t do it every time unfortunately. And that’s how I’ve been saving for the past few years freelancing. It was much easier as staff.
400k at 38. Wish I’d taken investing seriously earlier, but overall feel ok given no help from parents / covered my own student debt.
$285k in late 40s. So behind for many reasons (single mom dragged through family court for many years, and have never had a dual income partnership). My parents provided child care vs. money. I feel fortunate to own a home but have no idea how I’ll retire…
I honestly have no idea, I should figure this out though. I’ve consistently added to 401ks over the years (first job on) which now are in different investments with a financial advisor, have a 25k life insurance policy outside of my work one. I own my own home (not paid for fully yet), I have about 10k in savings and a paid for car. No credit card or student loan debt (paid off).
Addition or not, sounds like you’re doing good :)
Okay I am not a B- I am a C compared to y’all. :)
Nooo I feel like it's the bias of a sample size of people willing to share their net worth ha. I joined the financial independence bowl and it made me feel awful, all those people plan to retire with like 5mil
170k. I’m 34.
880k at 58
That’s me too! Same age. About 8-900k as well. I don’t feel like it’s nearly enough. I do have a property that has around 200K in value. But still!
I’ve made A LOT of money in my life. I beat myself up for not having more. But I also had a wonderful life - travelling, etc.
I’m freaking out about retirement. How do you feel?
900k at 36
Around 90k at 25
107k at 34 not terrible but not great either. No house and a mix of investment accounts and always keep 3-6mo of liquid cash (I’m a freelancer so emergency savings are crucial)
