These are couples posting. If you divide it by 2, not that impressive. I’m a single woman with $4.5m NW at age 47. Not US born, started saving and investing at age 27. HHI 350k and I don’t feel rich at all . I think for couples in their 40s $10m+ would be a decent NW but anything under is just average professionals with good financial acumen.



Oh please.

It’s always the liars and blowhards posting. The ones living paycheck to paycheck don’t click on the thread.

Kids are very expensive. It’s not hard to be single and rich…


OMG, so true! I was rolling in dough before I had kids.


I’m the single woman PP. I have one child and also put them through private school and am now paying for college (public, but top ranked and expensive)

$5.58M

$1.13M equity in our house

$4.45M in brokerage, retirement, and savings accounts

$860K HHI and we are 38 and 42. Kids are 6,4, and 2. Paying for private school, preschool, and a nanny so we are in a very expensive time in our lives but that is somewhat canceled out by grandparents funding our kids’ college.

About $1.5 million. I know, low for DCUM land, but I live a happy, stress-free life.

This is super impressive for the age and $600K HHI. What was your HHI before SH stopped earning? Does this include inheritances?


DH**

Well, that's not very smart of you. At all. You can keep things separate, sure, but you should at least know what you have together. How can you plan your retirement not even knowing what you have?


Well aware. I can't really. I'm not advocating for our approach; we're incompatible and holding on by a thread. I track my net worth as if I were single because I don't know how else to deal with it. I monitor their credit, as the breaking point is when they are racking up nonconsensual debt.


So more importantly how can you remain married to someone like that?


We have kids still at home, and we're both committed to keeping peace for the kids' sake, but if nothing changes, our marriage will end when the youngest leaves for college. It's nearly impossible to plan together or understand our collective net worth.
