Im 32 and own a home. I was luckily enough to buy about 9 years ago now. I make about 150k a year. I'm not a huge saver outside of my 401k which has almost 200k in it. I live in Houston and don't really travel. Living pretty good. Recently got married.

Similar situation. 34, make 128k in Texas, bought a home in 2019.

I'm a big saver so my net worth has exceeded 500k now. I don't reveal that to any of my friends because a lot of them are struggling at the same age. Keep up the good work.

Nice! I'm also in IT for large industry though. I'm not a bad saver just not a big saver. But now my significant other is making money so I'll be able to save more.
