how old are you and how many X your annual salary have you saved up.. [View all]

I am 37 and my net worth is only 1x my current annual salary...time to freak out!!!!

For my net worth I subtracted my student loans and mortgage...and added back the zillow estimated house value to my investment....don't have credit card debt..

But iam not saving anything....I will need a second job to meet my retirement target...

If you tell me your age and your net worth as the multiple of your current annual income...I will create a distribution and you can see where you lie on it.


It'll start with me...

37 and 1X


On edit....if you are between jobs...just use the salary you think you should be getting as the basis
