[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like everything else, perspective is required. I retired early as a big law partner with a net worth of about $4 million. A decade later, I’m worth about $7 million. When I left my firm I was making close to $1 million a year, and had I stayed where I was by now I’d likely be making close to $1.5 million a year and my net worth would probably be double what it now is. But it wasn’t worth it to me. Yes, money is important but it isn’t everything. [/quote] You were making almost a million a year, and your net worth was only $4 million? You were a huge spender and worked like a maniac. My husband and I made about $450,000 a year at most and when he retired, our net worth was over $8 million. And neither of us worked like biglaw partners do in the early years. Holy cow![/quote]
