Is everyone on here a law firm partner? What other industry can you enter with such a high income level after a government career long enough to get a pension? |

We are about the same and thought we were in good shape until I start going thru the threads on here. Then I feel waaaaay behind. |

DCUM is either an affluent bubble or its full of liars - probably both. Don't let DCUM distort your perspective. You are rich in comparison to 90% of the United States or 97% of the rest of the world. |

HHI = approx. $100k
Net worth excluding equity = $900k Plus $600k in net worth which OP arbitrarily excluded (yes, all that is growth), for a total of $1.5m. We are early 40s with two young children. |

These posts are self selecting. I bet there are tons of people reading who are in their 30s with a net worth of 90k or 290k who are NOT posting; the ones who are dying to post are the ones who want to tell you they're at $5 million or $50 million at your age -- and often (not always) they throw in a line at the end stating that $4 million or $49 million respectively is from a trust. |
