You are all doing much better than me - and I thought I was doing pretty good!

47, 16 years, 390K

For comparison to you 37 year olds, a decade ago I had 60K.

Not feeling so good after seeing these responses. I've only been maxing our for a couple of years; probably should have started sooner. $170,000, 36, almost 9 years, GS 14.

Nope. It's the market. About 10 years ago we were coming off of an abysmal period for all earnings. I'm a different poster, but I remember being "stuck" at 175k for years, even with new additions and matching. Or member thinking "I'd have been better off taking the money and sticking it under my mattress". But with matching and much better 10 year returns, you can have made that much. Good stock market plus compounding.....
