[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]checked last night with the wife. 870k all in, including home equity. we're both 30 years old

140k home equity, 300k by me, 430k by her

at this point i wonder what counts as top 1% in the nation in terms of net worth at different age ranges. google's results dont convince me. and its hard to compare with my social circle in DC because everybody also has high powered careers and are earning well despite our age[/quote]

Inheritances also skew everything. We make significantly more than most of our friends and save a ton but many of them are getting $10-20M+ inheritances (some are already starting the transfer process or whatever it’s called). [/quote]

Do your friends tell you the size of their inheritance? I am always shocked when people claim to know dollar figures for their friends' income, net worth, inheritance, etc. I'm in my mid-40s and my friends and I never ever talk about this.  [/quote]

PP you quoted here, and yes, they do - we openly talk about all this but we’ve all been friends for 5-10 years minimum. Early 30s (so the “younger” millennial generation). [/quote]

We’ve been friends with a bunch of couples for 20+ years and we never talk about our net worth. My husband is a named officer of a public company so people can look up his comp but no one has ever mentioned it. Talking about compensation and net worth can only lead to either bragging or jealousy so why do it?

Doesn’t lead to bragging or jealousy with our friends. Helps that none of us tie any self worth or perception of ourselves to our net worth or income or careers. Plus lots of us made $ publicly so it’s already out there. Doesn’t make sense to lie or obscure when we all know Google exists. [/quote]

You live in a beautiful world. [/quote]
