I’m 35 in a couple months and have about $160k plus whatever equity my house may bring, if any. Only because you asked, if I only had $20k at 37 I’d be very concerned for my future.

I’m turning 36 this year and have approximately $615k saved across all accounts, excluding any potential equity from my house. My wife is stay-at-home, and we have two children.

20k is less than what you can contribute to your 401k this year alone.

The good news is you've got about 20+ years until you retire, so you can definitely make up for some of that lost time.

Good news…at your rate you’ll have about 40 years to catch up!

Fairly confident that $20k is low for 37 year old, however that’s not the maths that you need to do

What you need is figure out what you’ll need in retirement, let’s say $100k a year. So by the time you retire, you need your retirement funds to provide you $100k through social security and 401k (and possibly pension).

The maths to generate $100k from 401k alone says you need to have $2.5M saved by then, maybe when you are 65

700k between 401k and brokerage. Just put 200k down on a house, so I guess that too!

$20K might cover a year of expenses, perhaps two, if your hone is paid off. But beyond that…probably rough.

I have 200k cash and 100k in 401k at 31.

🤣🤣 what's retirement? I am 46. I will be dead still working or like dead steading as a Walmart greeter at 100 my luck 🤣 just joking
Safe paths all 🙂

Max out your 401k and employee stock purchase plan. At 37 I had $1M between my 401k, Roth IRA and company stock. Im 44 now with $1.9M invested.

If you’re not maxing it out, increase slowly. I originally bumped my contributions 1% per year after my annual raise to get to the contribution maximum. Don’t try to do it all once. But the money you invest is more valuable than 20yrs from now.

get an IUL, it's tax free income for life and the returns are 10-12% year over year. im a broker and I can help you to see if you qualify or any other options you might have!

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid."

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
