[quote=Anonymous]At 30 I finished grad school and basically had no money. I started a new job and made $77K. I’m now 37 and married. -I have a personal 401k balance of $170K -I have a pension that will kick out $1400/month at age 59, if I quit my job today. I plan on staying here longer, so that amount will only grow. -I max out 401k ($19K/year) and contribute full amount to a Roth IRA via Backdoor ($5.5k/year). -My wife has about $120K in various retirement accounts and another $90K in liquid cash (don’t get me started on this...) -We now own a decent house in WOTP DC, have about $140K of equity in a home now valued at $955K. -We are also landlords and take in about $26K in rental income each year. My point? It gets better. Be diligent, plug away at saving. We always pay ourselves first through savings. Don’t buy a lot of crap. Don’t blow $5K on a vacation, keep it cheaper. Get jobs that have potentially for income growth. [/quote]
