Maybe u wanted a pat on the back. Sounds like a great job. But wouldn't that also depend in salary , contributions. Clearly someone if a higher salary , match etc. Should have a higher balance .

$232k at age 30.

Started in July 2016 and was just putting about 10% of a $60k salary in while I saved maniacally for my & my wife’s wedding. Maxed out the next year, but then moved to 5% (the match) during a 10 month stretch while we saved for a down payment on a house. Since we bought in August 2019, I think the trade off was well worth it when considering our home value has almost doubled & we have a rate below 3.

Good job 👏

That’s on par - I’m at 250 and at 29 - that’s roughly 31k a year, I’m at 39k a year but started in a bull market

I'm sitting at 350 at 40yo and according to my research we are ahead of the average saver. However, I am also behind where I want to be. I had some big jumps in compensation so the current balance doesn't reflect that yet, but I'm saving every extra penny because I never know when something may happen and I'll have to drop the contribution amount.

If you follow the cryptocurrency market, or even have been just taking an interest lately, with the Bitcoin "halvening," you should check out Pi.

I have a 2017 Hyundai SantaFe XL SE, 32K miles. End of lease is coming up buyout price is $19.5K. Should i buy the car and sell it myself OR the hassle doesn’t worth it, just return it? The car is in great shape though.

If I have two 401ks (current job and previous job), does the 19k limit apply to both of them together or 19k each?

If I were to rollover a pension lump sum into one of those 401ks, is counted towards the $19k limit? Or is rollover classified differently and I could still continue to contribute to my current 401k?
