Maybe because it's not really relevant when calculating how much you need to retire.

Agree with PP who said not to count cars or jewelry. You won't be able to sell either of them for close to what you paid and you're still going to need something to drive.

You can resell jewelry and vehicles, with depreciation.

529 is prepaid smoothing of future expenses.


You could pull money out of 529 too if you encounter dire situations and have the kid go CC or get a loan.

$1,300,000 in retirement funds
$500,000 in home equity
$150,000 in cash (bank accounts, CDs, etc.)
$50,000 in vehicles/jewelry
Total: $2,000,000

We have 529 funds but don't count then in net worth.

Annual contributions:$95,000 (401(k) contributions, employer match, backdoor Roth)

Asset allocation for retirement funds: Asset allocation is around 75% equity, 25% bonds/cash equivalents.

Given the above, how long to get to $3,000,000?


I'd rough estimate 5ish years. Totally dependent on the market though.

I wouldn't bother including vehicles, but those will depreciate rather than grow.
