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.

46 married, 2 kids $1.9M. It was higher a month ago but took a little beating since then. Saving for college also cuts into my investment opportunities.

Married, 30, combined NW around 500k

Plans for growing: buy house (there can be debates how much this really grows your NW), promos and bonuses, invest excess cash.

I'm way too old and waaay too poor. I've worked hard for at least 25 yrs of my adult life with too little to show for it. Not really worried though, because it's not a given that I'll outlive my savings and have to sell my home. But if I do, why I'll just go on the dole. My daughter-in-law is only 50 yo, still able to work but chooses not to; thus taxpayers like myself are called upon to support her and her child. Wouldn't wanna be her, but from what I've observed it's far from a miserable existence...

Life is not all about growing your net worth, ya know. Maybe 95%, max.

Mid-40s, married with 3 kids. Combined with my spouse, our networth excluding retirement accounts is about 250k.

27m single, approx 250k NW

5k checking/saving
25k money market
80k taxable brokerage
70k 401k
40k Roth IRA
13k paid off car
18k HSA
7k road bikes

Late 30, -150k 😩 I’m planning on paying off my house in the next 5 years though.

And how is your net worth negative? Is your home worth less than your mortgage?
