I found a printout I made at year-end 1996 (when I was 31). The only retirement account I had at the time was my first employer's 401K plan worth about $85,000.
In 1999 we opened two Roth IRAs, and in that same year I changed jobs so the above 401K became a rollover IRA. Between those three accounts and my current employer's 401K, what was $85,000 in 1996 is a tad over $500,000 today.
