What is your age and net worth?

[Anonymous]

Such an annoying post, and typical of DCUM.

35(me) 40(DH) - our net worth across all accounts (including 401K, 529s, etc.) is at exactly 1,000,000 as of a few weeks ago and we have about 500K in equity in our house. Two young kids (3 and 1).

So your net worth is $1.5 million - not $1 million.

This math isn't that complicated, people.

PP - i am aware. But I think it's helpful to point out where the net worth comes from. That's why I included both (used the "and" to indicate that we have that equity in the house).

I guess I am too poor because I'm not even sure how to calculate one's net worth. Assets minus debts?

Mine is high. Won't help anyone to post it...

My breakdown is: retirement accounts 3.4 million, brokerage/checking/savings accounts $1.6 million, home equity $750k.

I quit working 5 years ago. Had worked in BigLaw.

Are others with healthy net worth continuing to work? If so, why?

Health insurance and trying to instill a work ethic in my kids who will likely inherit a lot of money one day, thanks to wealthy ILs.

Meh. With a high net worth you don’t need employer health insurance. You can just buy your own.

I'm a high net worth person and quit working. I've posted on here before, however, that health insurance is very expensive. I'm not complaining but just stating the facts. It increases again next month to about $5100 a MONTH for a family of four. Yes, we can "just buy our own" but that is quite a bit of "change."

Where do you live? I just did a search on the DC Health Exchange and the MOST expensive top of the line plan that they offer for a family of four doesn't even cost half that.

Condo in the mountains... we are not renting, so it is a bit of drain, but we like it.( condos might add upto 700K) Right now we have 2 in college so not saving. We have about 300K in this house cash put in. So, I guess, by dcum standards we are piss poor.

You need to add what is your 401Ks and any other savings account then post along with your ages. It will be more than 1M already posted by you which you seem to think is poor.
