But I also don't have kids right now, so if you ask me in 5-10 years I'm sure my # would be much higher ;) Thx for dropping by sharing! yeah – the “when you don’t save and invest” being the important part there ;) if I were making $150k i could guarantee that I would invest at LEAST $75k of that ASAP – thus dramatically increases my “richness.” But I also don’t have kids right now, so if you ask me in 5-10 years I’m sure my # would be much higher ;)

Nor do I look it. We have a semi nice house which is NOT lanscaped, and no pool. We have a 4 year old bmw (very nice, 450/mo) SUPER nice boat (another 400/mo) and a paid off 10yo SUV. Our house payment is like 2800/mo. 4 kids, 15-22 one in college, paying half her tuition as we go, as we never saved. She works. Wife doesn't. Life is good, we can eat out whenever we want, vacation once every 2-3 years, but I would say that we are barely living within our means, and not getting a whole lot for that. The small stuff, computers, electronics--all the small things we can have whatever we like. But the big things, new cars, big vacations every year, no way. Want to buy my second daughter a new car for her 18th, but just did the math and I cannot. 150,000 doesn't go as far as you think, when you don't save and invest I make about 150K in the bay area, and can tell you that I am not rich.

You've got to have dreams brotha - and $100k is def. doable :) It's unfortunate all the other comments here were wiped away from our Wordpress move as there was some great discussions going on....some saying you needed $300k+, and others saying you can be rich w/out much at all. Pretty interesting stuff... I like the way you think!

I know that if i do get to 100k, i will know what to do with it to make sure i dont waste the opportunity presented to myself. 100k is my number, and i know its a dream at this point, but every dream has a plan behind it.
