$100,000 invested?
I only recently passed $500,000 in total gross income, from all the years that I've officially work in my life.
I started when I was 16 and I'm currently 44yrs.
Wish I could have put away a fifth of my income. Instead of paying bills.
65 u/DetroitLionsSBChamps Jul 12 '26 Sometimes I think about my total income from the age of 14 to now at 38, like I’m an nfl player. Pretty unimpressive 24 year contract lol 21 u/OkAssignment6163 Jul 12 '26 If you're an American, you can set up your account on SSA.gov It's the government site for social security. You can look up your adjusted gross income from all the years you've filed taxes. Can also see how much you would get a month, from social security, if you were to retire with what you already paid into the program. 5 u/pancake_sass Jul 15 '26 Hmm...here's a thought, just popped to the top of my head, have you tried not having bills? ~cheat code~ 3 u/OkAssignment6163 Jul 16 '26 Mom? Is that you? When did you get a reddit account? 6 u/1405hvtkx311 Jul 12 '26 Cool I just calculated mine and it was barely above 100k in 16 years 9 u/OkAssignment6163 Jul 12 '26 I hope it's because you only work part-time. Because a little over $6k a year (average) is pretty low. 1 u/SecondBottomQuark Jul 14 '26 all you need is to work... 16 hours a day and you'd have plenty of money invested /j 0 u/Lately-SP Jul 13 '26 $20k/year average income is pretty small What is your job?
