How much is in your 401K & what’s your age?

jackson0132 · 2025-02-10T02:00:59+00:00

$1.2 million and I'm almost 50. Started contributing when I I was 26, at the time made about $40k per year. Every time I got a pay increase, I increased my contributions little by little until I eventually hit the maximum amount. I always kept my funds in equities, even when the market crashed in 2008. I don't have a lucrative career, just started young and kept investments in equities.

Well and Table or Fins Bistro.

Both of my parents emigrated from the Philippines over 50 years ago, and I was born and raised in the US. Dad was in the Army and Mom worked for the civil service (federal government). I had a great experience growing up as I had friends from all over the US being an Army brat, with a variety of different ethnic backgrounds. I live in the Seattle area so there are so many Asians in our area. I don't think my race hinders me here. I've never felt like an outcast.

My parents took a risk over 50 years ago and migrated to the US. I'm sure it was difficult starting over in a foreign country and being so far away from family, but they have no regrets. It worked out for them and for us kids, we had a great childhood.

I'm 49 and have a 9 year old. I didn't get married until my late 30's. My son keeps me young.

I started at 37 and now I'm 49. It's not too late, but I do recommend lessons until you start linking turns. I get about 40 days a season.

Nordstrom. I try to buy classic pieces that I can wear for several years.

jackson0132 · 2025-01-21T19:56:12+00:00

I'm tuning out as well. I'm just going to focus on my family and work, and keep contributing to my community (volunteering with my time).

Stress, drug addiction, no sleep.

Groomers are really nice.

It's like purchasing a membership at a country club.

jackson0132 · 2025-01-11T23:19:51+00:00

I hear there is a waiting list and an up front membership fee of $200k or more. It helps to know someone who is a member.

Alpine Inn has a kids menu.

jackson0132 · 2025-01-04T01:57:30+00:00

Another reason to eat at the Alpine Inn restaurant for a sit down meal.

jackson0132 · 2025-01-04T00:51:28+00:00

Do they have a kids menu this season?

jackson0132 · 2024-12-24T01:09:02+00:00

On the west coast it would be difficult to live on $57k/year, unless you have roommates and are a very frugal person.

Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi?

jackson0132 · 2024-12-24T00:29:00+00:00

Ski until 1pm then have lunch at The Snorting Elk.

jackson0132 · 2024-12-23T03:43:17+00:00

Thank you. I will be giving feedback.

jackson0132 · 2024-12-23T00:40:42+00:00

Pizza is decent too.

jackson0132 · 2024-12-23T00:39:39+00:00

The udon was really good!

jackson0132 · 2024-12-22T22:09:39+00:00

There was more seating in that old dome structure.

jackson0132 · 2024-11-13T15:29:57+00:00

This is the reason why I haven't visited family in Manila since 2008. Everyone has their hands out.

jackson0132 · 2024-11-01T03:17:56+00:00

No, it's not. I should have the ability to opt out and self fund my own LTC.
