Not there yet, alright I'm in my early 30s and feel like I should be. However, I'd advise you to not compare your journey to others. Everyone has their own unique circumstances for being where they are financially. It's never an apples to apples comparison.

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline.
