When you 24 year olds are saying net worth is 100k, are you including retirement accounts?! I’m amazed...but then again I’m being paid by KPMG

It depends on when you started your career (I did at 24), where do you live (e.g. Chicago vs. NY or London), are you married, etc...too many variables. I barely have any savings at 27, I spend most of my paycheck everymonth on things I like, like travel, tech, living in a nice apartment with no roommates, etc. and do not stress about it, as I know I am good at what I do and will get to senior level pretty soon and will make the $$$.

I am pretty sure most people here might call this short-sighted cause of compound effect, but hey it's my life and money and I want to live it now.

Preach!! 25 with not a lot of savings but I live in NYC and like to travel, go out, and enjoy my youth. I feel like my current job will set myself up to make more money in the future, so I don’t really worry about it

Do you have student loans? Are you renting or own?
100k of wealth at 24 would strike me as a reasonable goal unless you are saddled with loans you never should have taken

I’m 24 and just hit 225k (with about 100k in retirement accounts). I went to an in state Big 10 and had a full tuition merit scholarship + additional scholarships I earned that essentially paid me to go to school. I was and also fortunate to have some relatively high paying jobs in high school / college so was able to invest starting at 18.

Definitely had to put in hard work but I’ve done a ton of travel, lived in nice places, and haven’t ever felt like I’m straining myself (I don’t spend that much on material things, more experiences). Had I not gone to a public school or had the scholarships things would likely be much different.
