OKLibrarian said:Thanks--needed to hear that today. all these young turks with double our net worth have been making me second-guess life choices--but we're doing better than the vast majority of 30-year olds and are set to do even better than that going forward.
Good grief OK. Any 30 something who is even thinking about these things is ahead of the game. The ones with significant savings at that age are as rare as hens teeth. When I was 30 I had a Household Finance loan for my sofa. Yet I retired comfortably at 56.OKLibrarian said:Thanks--needed to hear that today. all these young turks with double our net worth have been making me second-guess life choices--but we're doing better than the vast majority of 30-year olds and are set to do even better than that going forward.
Sandy said:monthly expenses: $7,000 (includes nearly equal alimony - ouch - and house payment). The first may end in 3 years; the latter 7-10 years.
DangerMouse said:I have chosen not to play this game, what our household income is between me and the IRS.
However, people need to keep in mind that a $100k salary in California might sound like a lot but after federal and state taxes, social security, additional cost of living expenses, it might actually only be equal to a $60k salary elsewhere.
Remember it's not what you make but what you do with it that counts.
