[quote=Anonymous]OP, the problem with your question is -- how far back do you go? How do you judge someone's career and life choices to figure out what they *should* have made? What if they have a high salary now, but were paying off college and professional school loans for many years because they put themselves through undergraduate and law school, for example? What if that new lawyer then went into a public interest career rather than a high-paying BigLaw degree? What about the public defender who, together with her government lawyer spouse, say 20+ years out of law school, has an HHI of $200K a year by way of seniority, but they didn't start out that way and had to pay two sets of law school loans along the way? What about the person who put herself through undergraduate with a degree in math and went into teaching rather than say Wall Street finance?

There's so much judgment in the question. Who are you to say how much someone should have saved, or should have made in their career?[/quote]
