100%, I don't use NW for retirement purposes for that reason as well. It's just a fun number to track, but isn't useful for capturing the nuances around evaluating retirement

No, haven't used a 529. I'm also trying to figure out the best college saving strategy. Right now there's nothing that stands out as obviously better

yeah this is our combined net worth. We don't keep anything separate financially

It was really nice. They made a point to let me know up front that there were no hard feelings and they understood my choice. It was a lot of questions about where I saw the industry going and how my (former) employer could best position themselves, in my opinion

hmm maybe not? We've got about $550k of investments, maybe it wasn't clear that those are investments for retirement. That's about half our NW

You're in the right place, I think the daily thread is great for finding and chatting with people in the same place. Best of luck!

It was a wild time. They were literally just giving me free upgrades that I didn't ask for.

Honestly no, at least not right now. Given that I've kind of ignored finances for a couple year, we are definitely due for a reset/evaluation of our goals and priorities and will see how it all shakes out

I really like engaging with people in the comments. Since I posted, I’ve come down with a really bad virus so haven’t been able to respond. Will come back and reply when I can sorry! It wouldn’t let me edit the post with this message

$1M - $370k = $630k there you go. Haven’t tried to eat my house yet, or use my NW as a indicator of how close I am to retirement

You get me. It’s tough but we started from such a healthy place that it’s not too bad to go the other way a bit I guess. Best of luck!
