I once heard that the average age of those that achieved a net worth of a $1M was around 49 yo. Is this intended to include assets like real estate equity or is this meant to be liquid assets / retirement accounts only?
Understanding, $1M is no longer the goal but for those of you that have achieved this already - What was the age you achieved it and are you including your home equity?

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out.
