    I was 31 in 2008, and my net worth went from around 150k down to -15k in the span of a few months. But that turned out to be a blessing in many ways; not only were my new investments buying at a discount, but following a pay cut, I'd learned to tighten my belt in a ways I never thought of before. In the fifteen years since, I've basically put 80-90% of my subsequent pay raises into savings rather than consumption. I expect to cross $1M sometime in the next few years, and my dreams of early retirement are turning into actual planning.

    Anybody else tired of seeing comments from 28-year-olds with $2.5M in the bank and no debt ? I'm 41, with a net worth about $200K, paying down $13K in debt. I make over $110K, but live in an increasingly expensive city (i.e., high rents) and have a child. I max my Roth 401K and have a pension of about $1.5K a mo./ I can collect in my 50's. I'm nowhere near prodigious, much like the average 41-year-old. Just do your best. You won't own a yacht, but your life provides value in non-monetary ways. Take heed to what the Money Guys teach us, but don't be discourage by the overachievers.

    I didn’t start tracking my net worth until 2015. If I had done it sooner I would have seen how my debts were dragging me down. I’ve gotten great information from this show. I realized my $62,000 of student loan debt needed to be paid off because the interest rate was above 4% and I’m 47. So 2 years ago I got a second job and paid the student loan off in April 2021. Hubby and I just hit 1.4 million net worth ( a good portion is our retirement accounts). We don’t feel rich tho.🤷🏽‍♀️

I got where I got because I made sure to max out my 401k contribution every year, and whenever I could I paid extra towards my house -- paid off by age 46. I actually didn't know much about investment in the beginning and was not a high risk person, so I chose moderate risk type funds in my 401k. Consistency and maxing out my contribution (no matter the market situation -- 2008-2009 was really scary but I kept up my contribution and when the market picked up again I was doing even better since my money was able to buy more funds during the crash due to lower fund prices) was my way to hitting the $1m mark in networth.

    For the 20s, I feel like there should be something in the calculation that factors in the number of years since starting their full-time employment. Based on the salaries listed in the prodigious chart, it seems reasonable to assume you're mainly targeting people with at least a Bachelors which means on average someone is starting their 1st full-time employment at 22. It just doesn't seem practical to say: to be a prodigious accumulator, you need to save, at a minimum, over 150% of your salary in your first year of employment. Even if you saved 100% of your pre-tax income, setting the expectation that for someone making $200k at 22 they will have needed to save $114k in their part-time/summer jobs through high school and college is not feasible.

      Yep. When The Millionaire Next Door came out 25 years ago, I was in my early 30s, and I was way far from being a PAW. Now, in my late 50s, I'm comfortably in PAW territory. The calculation is pretty well discouraging, and not useful, for those under 40. It's a lot easier to build net worth after those student loans are paid off as well.

      PAW status is something you work towards. Even AAW is a major accomplishment to be celebrated. They do not expect most 22 years old to be at PAW status, but good for them who are!! If a 22 y.o is watching this they have a much higher chance of eventually hitting PAW status. It's a journey and its hard work.

      That is faulty thinking, an excavator operator or structural steel welder that work lots of overtime can make more than the average bachelor degree holder, there are a lot of bachelor degree holders who don't even have jobs, or are grossly underemployed. The ones that do well have degrees in things like engineering or medicine, but what % of bachelors degree graduates are in those kind of areas where they are almost guaranteed a well paid job?

      ​@@hzuiel I mean you can use any age and salary you want if you want to look at the trades professions. Since the calculation is based on both age and salary (which includes any overtime), you will always need to have over 100% of your salary saved in your first year of full-time employment to be a PAW, regardless of profession. I also don't know why you used trades as your counterpoint since their salary progressions almost perfectly mirror those listed in the video. Yes, I am not talking about average bachelor's degrees, but there's nothing average about making any of those salaries other than $50K (for singles; $100k for couples). However, since the average salary for employees with less than a bachelor's is under $50k, I don't think it's that unrealistic to say that the PAW chart was "mainly targeting people with at least a bachelor's." Is it everyone with a bachelor's? No. Would it have been more accurate to say: mainly targeting those with professional degrees/those in tech? Probably, but by all the data published it was definitely more accurate, on average, than trades.

    As a consequence, your guidelines are brutal below 40 and trivial above 40.

      The math would get complicated, the original formula didn't even have the under 40 provision, so it looked brutal to anyone in their 20s and early 30s. It's still unlikely alot of people will be AAW or PAW until later in life because of the exponential growth, but at least it makes it very possible to get there even if you are behind at first.

I think that as long as you are hitting the 25% savings rule, and have no other "bad" debt (like credit cards), then paying for a car cash is not a great idea with today's rates. The rates are so low that as long as you don't do something crazy like a 70 month term, you can reach up a little for better reliability, safety or comfort features. Maybe that's me rationalizing being a compulsive car guy :)
