4K in checking.
0 dollars anywhere else except for about 100k equity in the house I'm building. No debt.
I'll get my shite together in a few years.

I'm sitting around 3k myself. Wish I had jumped in sooner. Of course that 3k is after I cashed out my initial investment so it's all gravy.

Asking how much money in actual dollars you should have at x age is just a peter measuring contest.
The real answer depends on your monthly expenses. All financial magazines and advisors now say 6 months, instead of 3, after it took way longer than 3 months for those laid off in the Great Recession to find a job.
Also, I think a lot of people confuse "max out the 401K" with put enough in to get your full employer match. The stats simply prove there ain't many Americans contributing $18K/yr to a 401K, but everyone loves to say they "max it out."
