At 30???? How???

I don't get how people my age have all this money. I make a damn good living and at 27 I'm doing really good to have 8k in the bank. Just a mortgage and a low student loan payment.

I have friends who claim to have $30k+ in their retirement, a way bigger house than me, way nicer car than me, way more expensive shite than me, and are talking about opening a business and shite.

If I had put every dollar I made over the last two years in the bank I wouldn't have enough money to do that shite, much less build a 401k and have all that nice shite.

I don't get it.

HIGHLY income dependent. I'm finally blessed enough to max my 401k. I'm 32 and have about 200k there. Liquid assets? Lol. I've got 2 paid-for cars and a few K in cash plus a high credit card limit if I really need a cushion. Anybody that says you need 3+ months in expenses is stupid and/or lazy. Make your money work (401k, paying down debt, investing, etc). Don't sit on 60k in cash.
