[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it is multiple years at 500k +. That way you are actually able to save a lot and have less worries in life. That is the part that actually makes us feel out of middle class. [/quote] I agree with this. The first year we cracked $500K I remember thinking "Better set aside most of this, it might not last!" since we're both in volatile fields. Which is a middle class mindset--saving for a rainy day, since you have no foundational wealth to fall back on. Now that we're four years into 500K+ we do have that foundation, but it's mostly because we don't live like we're wealthy.[/quote] This is us in spades. We always lived well below our means until our kids were fully launched and our retirement was extremely well funded. We are still not big spenders but we definitely have moved past a MC lifestyle but it took many years to get there. [/quote]
