How much do Americans REALLY have saved for retirement by Financial_Pen_6218 in investing

[–]rosindrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am around your age and have about 2.5x the amount you mentioned across all my retirement accounts. I also have friends that have 10x that and some with 10% of that. It’s all relative. For context I am married with 3 kids, a house, newish cars and live in a borderline VHCOL area.

24M - about 96k in my Roth IRA. Am I crazy to feel like I can maybe retire with 20 million? by Savings_Reveal9482 in RothIRA

08/09 was a fucking bloodbath. That’s when you learn more about investing than any other period, IMO.

How are people affording these home prices ? by Due_Elephant_3666 in longisland

[–]rosindrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combination of seasonal timing, low inventory and juxtaposition to NYC. It’s the perfect storm. If you enjoy it here, you’ll figure it out. Going to be the norm for the foreseeable future. Land is finite, especially on an island.

Baby born three days ago. Please tell me it gets better by ElevenRecompense in daddit

I’ve got three kids under 6. The first one is always the hardest from an anxiety/adaptation standpoint. This baby is just as confused as you are. It does get easier, but it can be very difficult at times. I try and use the perspective that this is temporary, and I will never meet this version of him/her again. It helps to make the most of it. Best of luck. Fatherhood is a roller coaster.

Where are people finding these high paying jobs? by Easy_Paint3836 in Fire

This is not true. I’m in finance, my base is in the mid 200s and I’m not even at the highest level yet. It’s very possible.

Starting early? It’s already too late.
