[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 43. I work in education (I’m a chump who makes a crap salary, but I love working with students).

I have $620k between my 403B, Roth, and an inherited IRA. House is worth $430, but still $200k away from owning it. I have $64k liquid, but I need to get that money into something that will make money. I had been saving for a renovation, but I might move instead. So, $820k?

I thought I was doing well, but this thread has me wondering what else I should be doing. I did the max contribution to my 403b in my 20s and worked a second job to make ends meet. I do have a small side gig today, but it isn't consistent money. [/quote]

I think this is pretty impressive on a teacher's salary.  You also would be eligible for a pension, wouldn't you?

I am a Fed and was talking yesterday to a single colleague in her sixties.  I am sure she is paid considerably more than you and I was shocked when she told me she had just $700,000 in her thrift plan.  She does get a pension and medical plus SS so she'll be fine, but still....[/quote]

No pension for the position I have, but thank you for making you feel better. This thread made me log into my TIAA-CREF and poke around a bit. Maybe I’ll make an appointment with the person who makes the rounds to talk to us once a year or so and see if there’s anything else I can do.[/quote]
