Hello,
While reading a few threads on "Hi, I am..." yesterday, I "met" a few millionaires with great wealth which got me curious. I created a poll to learn the size of ER or seeking ER retirement portfolios.
I don't have skills in statistics or surveys, so this will be far from perfect. It's more anecdotal than scientific but it should be interesting nevertheless. By human nature we try to compare ourselves to somebody else and see how we do.
Anyway, please vote on the size of your retirement portfolio: 401k (or similar plan) + IRA's + Taxable accounts. Do not include inheritance (subtract its approx. value from your total), houses, vacation homes, cars, or other valuables.
IMO, this would show saved our sweat earned money and saved for retirement.
ETA: Not PUBLIC anymore! Posters saying that it's worthless and nothing to gain. This is a voluntary voting. Nobody will know YOUR portfolio and I do not care about YOUR portfolio though a lot of people choose to disclose sometimes. It's an anecdotal survey, I know. Just to get an idea how well y'all doing as compared to the whole population. I wouldn't believe whoever says that we are not curious...
