Congratulations on maxing out. I'm doing 5K of catchup, and coming close to the minimum on the rest. In 4.5 years I have accumulated about 2/3rd's of what I have in my SEP (15 years). I'm also maxing a Roth for wife and self.
As for keeping it secret, I understand that part. There are a few younger people I'd like to show the balance to, as I know they do the minimum, and it just won't be enough when they get to retirement. However, good sense prevails, and I don't reveal my secrets. For instance, no one knows I still maintain a consulting business. That income allows me make the max 401K contributions at work. I am not so dependent on regular job income, since I work 5-10 hours extra AT MY RATE.
Enough bragging.
