[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you're doing fine, tbh. It's all degrees. Many here on DCUM think less than a $5m nest egg is an underwhelming retirement. Get a retirement calculator, use excel, play around with the inputs and see where it gets you. My guess is that you're a lot closer than you think. I'm mid 40s and I'm at your pace and my calculator computes something I'm comfortable with in retirement (and no, I'm not counting on SS).[/quote] Umm you are missing a 1. $15M retirement —- any less is pathetic. OP, these are the expensive years. You have 25 yrs ahead of you, doing great.[/quote] Anything less than $15m is pathetic - posters like you are why DCUM can be so annoying! I hope I don’t know you![/quote] You didn’t read it right. That PP was being sarcastic. OP, it’s very healthy. Yes, these are indeed the expensive years. Once school starts you will be fine especially if you have just one kid.[/quote]
