MM AW Retirement Balance

[explorer2001]

I just got my June 401(k) statement. Not counting my little 401(k) from my first job, I have more in my retirement account than my base salary plus bonuses!

I passed base salary alone last quarter. Now I feel like an actual MM adult. I don't care that I'm 18 months past have your salary in retirement by 30. I'm still happy. Plus all of this 401(k) is from the last 4 years. I'm so proud of getting caught up.

Share your AW here too!

That's awesome! I am 2 years older than you and will cross that milestone this year, so you are doing great!

Thanks! I am stupidly lucky to have a great profit sharing plan and match. My company matches up to 3.6% (well 60% of thd first 6% you defer) and then has done 10% of cash comp as profit sharing on top of that every year I've been here. There is no way I could have done it without them and I appreciate it more than they know.

Congrats on the milestone!

Congrats! Doing that in four years is amazing! I checked my balances today and I am $1,300 away from $100K. I will be soooo excited when it finally hits that number. I know I should probably have more, but it's more than my salary, so I consider it a win.

Awesome!

I recently hit 100k in my 401k which was huge for me, even though I am still behind schedule.

Good work! 18 months is really nothing.

Congrats!

Our retirement is up 25% YTD. We are getting super close to one years salary. Hopefully by the end of the year!
