[childay]

Anonymous poll. If you like, post your % of AGI.
Please include all retirement accounts, taxable brokerage, IRAs, bonds, etc
Exclude debt paydown (mortgage, student loans etc), 529, etc

Voted, ended 2019 with our highest ever savings rate: 74% of net income (historically we were 55-65%)

Why in the world would you exclude 457s? I max one out for retirement.

Reality is somewhat subjective
Maybe more interesting than talking about teslas
Unfortunate that unregistered lurkers can't vote but suppose that makes sense somewhat

2019 was a big year for us, first time we were able to put 100k into retirement. Of course the market crashed right after ;-)

Might help to tie this poll, or one like it, to age demographics as an additional point of comparison. For example, at around age 55 I got access to a 457f that turbocharged my numbers.

Hey a poll created by someone else!

Oh wait it reminds me of how comparatively little I make :/

Assuming one of the voters in the 500k and 1M+ isn't Peds, I would like to hear what you do, and what business ventures you have to have a large enough income to save so much.

It sadly isn’t very exciting

High earning specialty, simple W2 position, make a lot, pay a lot in taxes, spend very little, rest goes to taxable, no real estate, no entrepreneur venture
