[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how these high Numbers are possible for people under 35-40 in only a 401k, the max per year isn't enough to get over $1mm even if you were maxing out every year.... what am I missing?![/quote] Think the same thing looking at these numbers. I too have maxed out to 18k since graduating law school at age 25. I too but it all in the S&P -- not in bonds etc. Yet 11 yrs into it, I'm struggling to reach 300k. Difference is -- I've never worked for any employer with a match until this past yr (it's just industry standard - not that I was with bad employers). I am just now realizing how quickly it grows if you have a generous match. People are posting on here with 5% matches or at companies where you get 12% put in automatically, whether you put in $1 or not. Those things in addition to putting in 18k yourself adds up fast. I hope to make up some ground in the next few yrs.[/quote]
