This is our trajectory
Started working a real job in 2007 after graduate school and goofing around (age 32)...
We had enough savings to buy a first house, but we were house poor. My wife worked for three years and then called it quits and is now taking care of our brood of four.
Took us 9 years to hit $1M net worth (Using this metric because we've spent investments to buy and fix rental properties, but excluding our home)
Another 5 for number two
Still waiting for number three excluding the home equity (passed it including the home)
