Bumping this thread for this article which contains a similar "milestone approach" to the table I posted above. (These are basically the same as what I posted until age 45 and then less aggressive from there.) Should be fairly easy for most guys on here:

Milestones
1x — Reach age 35 with one times your annual salary saved.
3x — By 45, accumulate three times your salary.
5x — When you are 55, your savings should have risen to five times your salary.
8x — You are there. It is age 67.

Well, looking at it that way, it makes me feel better. My wife and I are close to being at our annual salary and are 30. Just running some rough estimates using an average of what we have saved the past 5 years and we are looking good.

And we are NOT most guys on here.

I'm not one of the "over savers" like many on this board are, but those numbers are much too low IMO.

These figure look a bit low. Is this net worth or money saved in retirement accounts and not including residence. If the former, I would be way ahead. If the latter, I'm not sure since I have yet to buy permanent residency.
