Congrats. Few youngsters think about it. I'm doing it for my elementary kid. They have 300k right now and surely won't be thinking about it. Too busy with video games.
Saving aggressively doesn't mean that you are not spending, does it? Keep going, but don't overwork. Mid 40s is when you can feel energy and health not being what it once was. Be ready.

I think it is doable. My partner and I make combined 380k last year. We're in our early 30s. Living in a new~ish TH in NOVA.(260K equity, bought when rate was 3%). We have 1 mil liquid cash after we sold our condos. We each had a condo before marriage.
We always max 401k. Working from home also helps us to save.

Is it enough to keep growing and cover all your expenses if you became disabled right now?

It totally depends on your expected income from other sources into the future.

I’d continue to save so I could quit the rat race early.

What is the mix between retirement and non-retirement accounts?

The stereotypical way that you see online. Worked in tech and made 6 figures in my early 20’s, read about investing when I was in college so already had the mindset of wanting to maximize future net worth by saving aggressively at a young age.

Invest in high tech stocks and dividend-bearing stocks. Reinvest the dividends or save for a downpayment on a home.

Continue to save and invest. Don't spend it.

What would your advice be to someone with 1M in investments in their early 30’s? Mix of retirement and taxable accounts. Should I cut back on the saving rate, spend for today, and let the investment ride? Or keep saving as aggressively as possible?
