[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems no matter what financial milestone I hit (recently got to $1M in net worth minus primary residence) it all feels like a house of cards. Stock market, real estate, and job all feel too volatile. [/quote]

I'm at $1.28M (including primary residence) and I'm similar to you. I'm 33 now and shouldn't even stress over it, but I have in the past and I tend to periodically. It's helped me to remind myself that ive still got 20+ years to save, and if the shit ever went absolutely sideways - even if I lost half my net worth, or even 75%, there are places in the world I can live in retirement quite comfortably on much much more meager sums. I also noticed my anxiety increased dramatically when moving to DC, which I can only attribute to the fact that DC is so awash with cash, it seems to make it more obvious somehow. I don't know. But yes, it's hard not to worry. Just realize you are waaaaay ahead of 90% of folks and that should give you some comfort. If the average person somehow retires, you will too.[/quote]
