I'm 29 and my net worth is like 10k. It's so depressing trying to save while living in a HCOL and barely making ends meet. I also help my family out a lot so I'm just really not saving as much money as I could be. Hoping to make some adjustments/get a raise in the next year or so. Wish me luck!

26. Net worth is heavily negative. Rent is absolutely killing me, but I have no money, credit, or options with which to gain breathing room. Many people my age can still rely on family support, but the opposite is true for me (one parent is deceased and the other is reliant on me to cover most of our expenses). Still, nowhere to go from here but up!

34, 850K. Hope to continue saving as much as I can. To all the folks who have responded, keep at it! The first 100K is the most difficult but then it starts to snowball. Pay off your high interest debts, save for emergency fund and then try to invest a consistent amount every month towards your 401K-> then brokerage account. The power of compounding is very real.

Keep it invested and see it grow over time. Keep consistently adding to that bucket.
