I'm in my late 20s, and my net worth is around $50k. This year, I’m focusing on paying down some debt, building my emergency fund, and contributing more to my retirement accounts. Small, steady steps to grow my wealth over time, following Dave Ramsey's snowball method to pay off debt, and just trying to stay on track and avoid unnecessary spending

Doing great!

I am in my late 30s. My net worth is about $1M, which includes the equity in my home, savings from my career, and investments. I’ve worked hard to build this, and I’m focused on continuing to grow it through smart financial decisions, including boosting my retirement savings and exploring additional investment opportunities this year.

What id like to know is the ratios between gross income, income after tax, spending, investing, retirement, etc. both of you say minimize spending but what does that even look like. If you’re eating cup of noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner then you’re sacrificing your health instead. Idk feel like something is missing in the equation. Simply saying it’s possible without an actual breakdown isn’t sufficient. This could probably be explained better if you said you live with parents for a number of years while working.

Nice work! Your Vanguard funds have done very well of late. The real estate equity has also appreciated, maybe a lot depending on how long you've held it. The RE could also be a good hedge against the inevitable stock market dip, and/or vice versa. You're at an age where it makes sense to take risk because you have time to recoup losses if you are positioned on the wrong side of a crash. Or a boom for that matter. 20 years from now you may want to scale back on risk and accept lower returns in exchange for stability and preservation of capital. Wish I had followed my own advice; my sense of market timing is abysmal...

50- 1.5M.

Early 20s and have ~140k in liquid NW. Plan to live with parents a bit longer and keep shoveling money into retirement accounts. Then can ease off in a few years and let it compound on its own.

Wife and I are 30 and our net worth is approximately $750K. We got lucky with the timing of a home purchase and have had some gifts (mainly stock) from family members. We've both been maxing our 401ks for the past couple of years and maxing our IRAs since we left college.

Set for life, perhaps. You've done very well. At 56 yo and still at PwC, I'm guessing you must've made partner or are very close to it. You could get out of the game now and go to the next level towards self-realization but you may need to reduce your current spending levels to ensure that your nest egg will last for the next 35-40 years. Hat's off to you, sir!

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans? I’m three years out of law school and I still have $160K in student debt despite making aggressive payments. I work in a larger firm (not big law per se, but 250+ attorneys and big for the market). I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.
