43. Wife and I had $2.5m. Now $750k after I quit and founded a startup using the capital (expensive but with it).

PwC allows this, I also put in about $50k per year.... the way I accomplish this is I started at a 6% contribution my first year and then increased my contribution by about 50% of my annual raise. I capped it at 30% of pay because I started getting refunded the excess in March/April. The key is that if you don’t get used to the money, you won’t spend it

33 $195k in 401k. Have been maxing since I joined Accenture.

Just curious, are some people here including all of their savings / investment accounts? Wondering how people are near my same age and have like 3-4x as much in their accounts given contribution limits.

I’ve also maxed out since I started working at 22. 10 year rate of return is 10.6%. I was shocked to see someone at $1.25M not too much older than me. I can’t imagine what their return must be!

35, $165k. Not gonna lie, I feel like I’m underpaid ($116k) for my age whenever i read the “what’s your age, how much do you make?” thread but then this is the complete opposite. I’m very fortunate to not have any debt but I really wonder, what’s everyone making over $150k spending their money on? I’ll also say I’m single and don’t have kids so understand I don’t have many of the expenses others do but genuinely curious about how people making so much more have $0 in retirement.
