You amassed this amount through your jobs?

No, inheritance and gifts are the bulk of that.

God, you are so lucky. I had to work for everything. I always wonder how people live in our neighborhood and they are 10 years younger than us. Took us all this time to get there.

Well, I hope that the job that you say you really like is actually doing the world some good. Otherwise you're doing your family a disservice and one day will come to regret it.

Don't listen to this poster PP. I am older than you and have a lot of assets and don't need to work and haven't needed to in a while and still do. My kids are older. I think there is huge value in your kids seeing you working. And value for you in being a productive member of society. If you enjoy what you do, you can make time for that and your family too. You won't regret it.

You didn't read my post correctly. I never said she shouldn't work per se. I said she shouldn't be working on something that isn't doing the world some good. From those who are given much, much is expected.

35 and 36 and I guess around $1-1.3 million including the equity in our home. A lot of our assets came from some inheritances I received over the last few years and gifts from my parents. My husband is a surgeon and didn’t finish his residency until he was 31 so he’s only been saving for 5 years. I had a job I loved but the pay was so low that once I became a mom I’ve stayed at home. We are now saving at a very good rate and we have paid off my husband’s medical school loans!

32k. Single.

About $100K. Considering I didn’t make 6 figures until 2 years ago and I’ve always lived by myself in DC, I think I am doing okay.

Thanks. I would not say that my work is particularly doing the world any good. As I said, I enjoy it and I'm also good at it, and I agree with the PP that there's a lot of value in my kids seeing me work and being a productive member of society. But yes, ideally I would do something that had more societal value (while still earning money and making use of my skills) and would allow me a bit more time to spend with my family. I just honestly have no idea at the moment what that is.

35, married. Net worth is about $500k, vast majority of that is home equity and retirement accounts. I grew up dirt poor and put myself through college so I think I’m doing ok. No dreams about early retirement though.

We're both 38 and our combined net worth is a shade over $1M. It's mostly home equity and retirement.

Well, I appreciate your honesty. But I don't equate working while rich on a job that doesn't "particularly do the world any good" with being a "productive member of society." There are so many things that you could do, even without requiring your "skills." I don't get people who think like you.

But, hey, enjoy the rat race!

I need earlier poster worth 8 million at age 41. I work at a nonprofit and absolutely love it and never plan to quit. I believe in working for so many reasons.
