No, but I think I'll also try some more wine and look at it tomorrow.* Maybe by standing on my head it will look better.

This survey would factor out the house (and other non-income generating assets) in the net worth equation and give a clearer picture of how much income the retirees & retiree-wantabees in this forum have to fund their ER plans and dreams. I'd suggest sticking with the same fixed percentage for everyone for the "investment net worth" component so that we are comparing "apples & apples". Any one interested?

I would like it if you accepted this assignment and have it ready by the end of the day on Sunday. This will equal 40% of your grade and could get you a traineeship.....with....me.

I don't know why anyone would exclude the current value of a yearly pension in net worth. It can be easily calculated and it can be easily monitized.

I have turned 10 year leases into current value cash and I could turn my pension into current value cash today if I wanted to.

It should be included in net worth just like any other triple net lease you have an interest in.

If it has a cash value to your heirs then I would have to agree. If it evaporates the minute you drop dead then it wouldn't be an asset IMO.

Median looks to be in the $1,000,000 to $1,250,000 range. Come on nerds, what is the standard deviation?

Considering that the average age is on the "young side" on this board, and also the lions share of posters are in "tech" fields, it appears to me that you guys and gals picked the right field at the right time.

l. Don't lose it.

2. Take care of yourself, so you have plenty of time to enjoy it.

Very impressive, indeed.

"If it has a cash value to your heirs then I would have to agree. If it evaporates the minute you drop dead then it wouldn't be an asset IMO." Cashin Out

So what are we talking about here? My net worth or my heirs" net worth?
