Re: Ask HN: 30+ year olds - how much have you saved so far?

#31
Just turned 28. Working in devops in NYC, live in Brooklyn. Recently started work at ~200k/yr so my trajectory takes that into account.

Currently

- 2.5k "floatline" in regular BigBank checking (don't like it dipping below that as an 'emergency' measure)

- 30k in Ally 2% interest savings accnt

- 10k in self-managed index with $420 deposited monthly fund https://m1.finance/DPfqoFz7T

- 25k in Roth 401(k)

Goals by 35

- Liquid assets 500k or more

- 30% down payment on house upstate

- Sufficient passive income stream from either investments or RSU/options

Does this seem realistic? Maybe. The only wildcard is that I am working for a startup, albeit a rather successful and exemplary one. So it could either tank and leave me jobless or take off significantly drastically accelerating FI
