I didn't even fully appreciate long-term consequences etc until I was 25, and then it was like a switch flipped in my brain. People who come from affluent white-collar families, have the correct influences early in life around this stuff, they can likely get the ball rolling more quickly and have a better shot at this
Don't even necessarily need an inheritance, but having parents and family who work as professionals and understand business/finance would be a huge advantage here in terms of getting you started down the correct path earlier in life

With my kids I am taking it to the next level. No need to wait until you are out of university. I already pay them for work they do and they are able to contribute to their own accounts. But they have to actually put in the work.
And its all about planting seeds of possibilities early. My kids receive birthday money, new years money, etc from family. The eldest (8 year old) chooses to spend a little and tuck away the rest in his green light account (investments) and he also said he is saving for his vending machine so he can look to place it either in his BJJ gym that he trains at or the private gym down the road that we train at.
My 6 year old still wants to buy pokemon cards so I am hoping a switch flips in his head sooner or later

It “could” but most likely won’t.
IMO a great stretch goal is 1M by 40. This was made in the white coat investor - a financial books for doctors. If that’s a good mid life net worth goal for a physician it’s good enough for me

MISC is sad these days. Most of us are at a rational age where these numbers are absolutely laughable when over 75%+ of the country can even afford 1 surprise expense without bankruptcy.... so that fact some are still putting this chite up in this forum is just sad.
These are sane, rational numbers for standard US citizens in standard cost of living areas. SRS
• 20-28- $50K w/ normal job, no outstanding debts.
• 30-35- $ 100K Normal family/mortgage/car payments
• 40-50- $200k Close to retirement with no major health issues, mortgage paid off or almost paid off
• 50-65- $400K Retired, house paid off, portfolio had time to accrue compound interest.
All these numbers are given no significant windfalls, health expenses, ECT. Just normal rational, statistically significant numbers.
MISC is wack A/F with the number iTT SRS

Much depends upon the inflation rate. With Biden's policies inflation has been at 40 year highs and getting worse.

Numbers are basically meaningless.
Depends on a number of factors and your personal situation.
Personally, I dont need a ton of money to be happy. I dont have any credit card, student or car debt so that alone gives me a lot of comfort. If i work its only like 6 months now and again. Enough to boost back up the bank account so I can do what I want after that. Plus I dont get good jobs, just call centers and stuff like that. meaningless stuff thats low stress.
Spend time paying your bills off and not striving to buy more crap then the next guy and you will be a lot happier in the end.

"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

A 30 year old with 1/4 million in the bank and no debt is like top 0.001 percent.
I make 75K a year, have no real debt, about 30K in guns and ammo and a couple of paid off old cars. I know I’m a lot better off than most people my age

I am ultimately in tech (my main rev stream and passion) but have invested in other interest in a more passive manner.

Per your example......sitting in a call center to make ends meat to me would be a not so great situation. In that scenario I would be trading my time doing something mundane (not growing) in exchange for paper dollars that are being diluted. I would much rather work my ass off on something I enjoy, create a revenue stream from it, then care and feed it from wherever I choose to be (with my kids, home office, out fishing, etc)

I am speaking on stretch goals. There really is no sense in speaking on average......just google those numbers if those make anyone feel better relatively.
But also google how fat the average American is as well.
$250k at 30 is nothing to scoff at but trust me, its not some great accomplishment. My 8 year old is more than 1/3 of the way there on his own savings and investment.....not mentioning his 529 (that I fund).
Accumulation and investment mindset needs to start the minute you make your first dollar. Not at 23 when you get your first cubicle job.
