A friend left the co I was with 6 months before PE and pre-negotiated his raise. So he got a raise to come over as an EI, then knew exactly what his pay would be when he got his PE. He also got them to pay upfront for the test and prep class.
Talking with my co-workers now on this project, several are senior guys clearing 200k a year, they all said you can pretty much only get to that high of a pay level by jumping around. If you don't switch co's you are doing yourself a disservice in the long run.

26 now, if I can keep maxing my Roth and 401k(have for the last 2 years) and put some money away for a home purchase in the next few years I'll be a happy camper. I'm getting married next year and the fiancée and I both have similar thoughts on personal finance, so I'm very fortunate for that.

I'll add one. I'd like to have 300 shares of Ford in five years. Currently 24.7 
ETA: Also have 6-8k in HSA

There are some of us ladies that are more financially savy. I was the one that kept our savings on track, managed rental properties and kept our spending to a minimum. Both of my daughters are like minded. Youngest graduated from LSU just over a year ago with a degree in engineering and is well on her way to meeting the goals many of you mentioned. She's getting married this year and her wedding will be simple and small (less than 20 people). More money for a house.
One other thing-take very good care of your marriage. Ex and I divorced after 30 years very amicably but when you have worked so hard to make your goals, it is absolutely horrible to see it cut in half. Also, we were not high earners but had a net worth of over 1 million in our early 40s. Started saving early and saved as much as we could.
Glad to see so many young people with good heads on their shoulders!

ON a side note, it's admirable that you were able to have an "amicable" divorce after 30 years

May have been a mistake but I didn't even get a lawyer. We sat down together and wrote up how we were going to split things up. We always shared the same financial goals.
