      Furthermore, one commonly used guideline says that individuals should have 1x their household income in savings/retirement accounts by age 35, 2x by age 40, and 3x by age 45. How do you compare to these benchmarks?

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          I have a years salary plus saved, and i'm 28. I did bust my ass to get it there so soon though. And I had a good year in hardware sales long ago.

            I was over 1x by 35, unlikely I'll be 2x by 40. No more company 401k match

              I'm 36, almost at the 1x mark. Didn't start until I was almost 31. Dumbass. Played catch up with a big % going in for a couple years, but eased back to buy my house. Once it is paid off I really won't have any bills other than utilities.

                Only through 401k and a separate after-tax employee stock purchase plan.

                          Solid. I mainly invest in meatballs. I hear they're going places.

                          But in seriousness, yes.

                          I'm 29, and have the first benchmark covered with a little to spare.

                              I better get busy! I did upgrade to a king size mattress because the queen couldn't take another bill.

                                I'm 33 and I have 2x's my annual salary into my TSP account and have also saved another year's salary in savings.
                                I hope I'm on the right track for my future but luckily...I have ZERO debt.
                                I want to live the life whenever I am older because I sure am boring now, lol!
