What is your ratio of Net Worth / Annual Income? What's your age?

Would prefer if folks don't share their gross net worth or income #s as this is more about how have folks been doing given the resources they have.

Net worth is 6 to 7 times annual income. I’m giving a range because my income has varied meaningfully over the last few years.

Interesting aside that goes to how meaningful the answer/ you’ll receive are:

Im expecting a promotion within the next year or so that will increase my income such that even with a higher absolute net worth, I will have a lower net worth relative to my income.

I expect you’ll see a lot of variability in folks in the mid 20s (because their student loan debt will vary a lot) and folks in the 50ish range (because that tends to be around when lots of folks have their biggest comp climbs). Although there aren’t tons of late middle aged people on here.

NW of 7X joint income, age 44. Goal is to retire in 12 yrs (age 56) with house paid off, and take 3% annual withdrawals.

About 10x. Give or take. But salary has jumped up or down a good bit over my career. 52 yrs old

Age 47. Net worth is 7.5x income.

Age 24. NW is 0.3x of annual income.
Realizing that I should probably be saving more.

As a follow up, is it a pipedream to be able to achieve 20-25x NW to income ratio (4% rule)? Or would that just likely signal your income is low or dropped?

I prefer to use total expenses against NW vs income to NW. We would never need 25x current income. Our FI number is about 12x current income, and that's being conservative, giving about 30x expected expenses in retirement.

Hey guys! Can we leave a company within 2 weeks of joining?

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
