I've been waiting a while to record a number like this.
It's not a big number as retirement savings go. And it's a volatile number, given the instability of markets and such. But it is, for the first time, a number above $500,000, which feels like a landmark to me.
T. Rowe Price says I should have 3.5 to 5.5 times my annual salary saved in retirement at my age. So on paper that feels good. But this retirement money is for my wife and I, and what we've saved is joint, so I don't know exactly where I should be. But I am at least ten years off from retirement, likely more. I hope we can keep squirreling money away and do crazy things like pay off our house.
