M27 graduated just after covid with major in economics and a minor in computer science. First job was 50k and now 4 year later am making 100k flat. I am the only person in my company to choose to work on a system older than me. So jumped from 75 to 100k real quick since they feared me leaving. At this point have 70k in 401k mixed between my previous and current employers. 63k in a personal investment account, 20k in cash accounts, and 200k in physical investment/hobby items. I felt like sharing since proud of myself and where I am at. Also lucky my parents are kind enough to not charge rent.

Edit: everyone is commenting on me living at home on my income. Why is that an issue at 100k but not say 50k? Just because you can doesnt mean you should.

I spent 500 on magic the gathering and save 3.6k in investments and retirement. On track for 6.4mil. So why should I ever care about 500 a month? Now, even if I put in a price for a house, in 30 years at 9% i will still have 3.5mil for retirement. This is plenty.

I'm not rushing to my death and am going to enjoy my life as I am today. I love my family and want to spend the time I get with them now since I wont be able to layer in life. I have a girlfriend who loves me and embraces who I am as a person, a job I enjoy and additionally pays me well, and friends I would trade any amount of money for.
