| I broke it at 39, had a good ride for awhile topping off at 200k. Then it went down to 160k, then to 0 for 4 months, and now currently at 120k. Once I turned 50, my salary started to regress. |

Yup. 39 here (DH 41) and im at 280k, he might hit 200k and i can feelnthat we are at the peak. Because of this we are socking it away as hard as possible. Trying to lsave this year 50%of our net. I knownthis gravy train isnt going to last. Taking full advantage of our low mortgage and low expenses to prepare. |

| 32 and counting.... I might break six if I stay another 15 years+ at this same employer (been here almost 10 now). Then again I'm a social worker, so that'd be pretty amazing even if it takes forever. |
