[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm calling bs on some people... 200k in 10'years?!

For the record $1000 ...won't be saving until stop 'training' at 28 ish. But I agree with a PP I might as well stash money under my mattress than put it in a 401k gambling ring.[/quote]

We've got the $200K, but I'm the PP who mentioned considering Net Worth.

Yes, we have the $200K in retirement, but we have Zero saved for DC's college and we have a $300K mortgage and are still paying off student loans for both DH and me.  Our HHI is $130K and we live pretty cheaply.

We made retirement a priority early on, so we've maxed out our 401Ks, but I'm actually not even sure this has been the best idea.  We've been putting in 20K every year for 10 years (between me and DH) which comes out to 200K, even with zero percent return.  Honestly, I feel like it should be more.  We'd have been better off just putting the money in a CD or something, versus the 401K where we're paying fees and not getting a good return.

I think 28 is still young.  We're 40. [/quote]
