So…you’re pretty average for the DC area. Congrats, I guess?


Congrats to yourself on having a well-below average level of politeness.

Congrats, OP!

I'm in a similar situation -- no handouts, no inheritance, etc. Paid my own way through school. I understand what a big accomplishment this is!

I hear it really compounds from here.


We had our first million at 38 and 40. Six more years to the second million, four more to the third million. Compounding interest and increased value of our primary residence.

It’s an anonymous board. Why won’t you say your age?

What is your retirement goal?


OP here. I am 19 years old.

My 10-year old has $300k in investments. How does a 10-year old get so much money? Just say, 'congratulations'.

No match. Just one car.

Congrats, OP. I remember the feeling when my 401(k) crossed $1m. The first $1m is the hardest!
