[quote=Anonymous]Also, you have to consider the age of the people you are comparing yourself to. Someone who has all those things in their late 40s did NOT have all those things when the were 30. For us, we got married, paid off all student debt that I had ($70k , 20 yrs ago), BEFORE we had any kids. We lived in a small townhouse . We were able to move up to a SFH over time. We now have over $3mil saved and our sfh is paid off. No car loans or debt of any kind. We are older than you might think even though we have a 13 yr old and 16 yr old. If you are 35 yrs old and wondering how this is possible....remember that we didn't have the kids or the SFH when we were 35...and we didn't have any savings either. We didn't have high paying jobs....just gov jobs (one fed, a military pension). Save. Invest. Give it time.[/quote]
