Good spot to be in isn’t it. Brings further meaning to breathe easier. Hope you achieve that next two.

My company just started offering Roth 401k and I’ve been thinking of switching my contribution to Roth 401k vs trad.

Well if we’re being honest, unrealized capital gains really should be taxed. Better for the market overall since it would force selling and eliminate concentration of wealth.


Who is going to buy them?

Skin that cat differently. Incentivize ownership of cash generating assets earlier and consistently reinvesting in working adulthood. Wealth build and financial control for all.

Envy is weak. Build strong foundation. No envy needed.

34 here, financial planner seems to think we’re millionaires, told us at our last meeting. Don’t have a mil in the bank though.

We will be witnessing the greatest transfer of wealth in about 20 years. Government will likely tax inheritance tremendously and tap retirement accounts before then

And that’s why I’m going to recharacterize as much $$$ as I can into Roth before I hit RMD age, and I’m going to blow through as much as I can before my expiration date.

So what classifies you as a millionaire. Net assets owned worth over a million? Yearly income at $1m?

If the 1st one, that’s not had to do if you own your house. The median house price in the US is $400k give or take. And if you have $600k in 401k you would be a millionaire……

As soon as mine did, I switched all to Roth contributions. The match can't be Roth, but still.

I am currently a millionaire and have zero debt…. but I don’t own a home. I’ll probably buy something soon so that’ll change. I am 40. Plan on continuing to invest about $50k a year for the next 20 years.

Thank you! Life's been good for me. I way overshot my potential. My fate should have been working a low wage job in small town MS. Trying to escape a crazy GF lead me to joining the AF and that set me on a different path.

Inflation works miracles for "millionaire" status!

Liquid wealth (option value) > Net Worth

If you have would-be equity invested in say money market (interest rates on rise) or fixed income (short / intermediate term b/c interest rates on rise)…you are effectively “building equity” but the liquid kind. Not bad option for some.

Home ownership is not the only way. I have a home that we own, and I lease in other place(s) for adventure. Living both sides.
