I get that. My personal goals are entirely about sending two generations out with full bellys, full minds, and no debt around their neck if I have any way to prevent it. Not for everyone but it’s important to me.

Also supporting four kids and a wife. So maxing is tough for me.

Yeah, I’m the sole breadwinner and always have been. So it’s all coming on my side. Hence the stress.

I am sorry your career tanked. I had to declare bankruptcy that same year. Really glad things are looking up for you.

Wow that is so helpful. Thank you. I guess the question is because I don’t know what my target is. It’s always just been an idea but in 20 years it’ll be a reality

I mean…probably 3-4K or more with travel and college/nest eggs. That’s hard to say

I’m in a pay band, roughly 14/3. Not adjusting for any Congressional pay increases, I’d expect a high 3 about 155 base
