Great to see many millionaires here in this forum. Surprisingly hasn't seen anyone say their source of wealth is from inheritance, as this is a common avenue of wealth accumulation.

Looking at how much money you all have makes me feel bad! I'm 35 and starting to break 100K in my annual income. Have some small savings here and there but nothing like what you guys mention. Is it too late for me to start at 35?

never too late and better late than never.
start saving now. if you earn 100k, you can save 70k. wait for downturn and buy stocks and condos.

You're already considered a high earner. Yet you also feel the pressure. Imagine the situation of those who earn much less.

Yes, cannot imagine of those who earn lesser.
But wondering how others can afford expensive cars (Audi, Benz, BMW), condo whom I believe household income definitely more than $200K.
If not, they would be overstretching themselves with such luxury lifestyle.
