$2500 US Dollars. 20 years old. Student as least currently, made my "net worth" as a NASA Intern. From Los Angeles, CA.
If you are a student you are likely in debt and have a negative net worth
Lol yep I denied that internally.

#3234 year sold, SE in Los Angeles. ~650k USD
320k in equity in CA real estate (condo I live in).
320k (ish) split between mutual funds/stock/cash.
Saved enough money in my twenties by only living with friends and renting a room until I could buy RE in 2009. Spent a lot of time trying to decide on the right property to buy. Worked hard improving technical skills and negotiated aggressively in the last few years now that I have enough experience.

You don't need to add the tag for adding links. In fact, the page it directs doesn't exist as the link thinks ">Free" is part of it. Other than that, I see you have around 4k visits this month and you are growing steady, but calculating worth from that? This isn't that easy. Would you share your real revenue? I would be interested in knowing that info tbh.
He's just a spammer

Could be worse

#35For those who live in the US, don't forget that the net worth in real estate is after real estate agent fee, property gain tax, etc. Same goes for stocks and any other pre-tax assets.

#36600k (USD) in gold. The only currency that survived 1000 years. You can't print out gold so no matter what the FED does, it won't disappear anytime soon. I'm a Software Engineer in my 30's.
Nice.
How did that happen?

Unlikely but they could outlaw it again
Re: Ask HN: What's your net worth?
#38Around $1 million USD, mostly real estate, $150k cash and index funds. Only mortgage debt (around $340k). Could have been a lot higher if I didn’t spend my 20s blowing a lot of money, and traveling a lot, learn from my mistakes young folks! Age 37, in Auckland, New Zealand, currently work as product manager, was software engineer / architect before.
Why do you regret and consider traveling and spending money at young age a mistake? I mean you have around $1 mln, that is much bette than most people at your age.
I’d count a small fraction of those experiences valuable and worthwhile. Basically a very expensive, time-consuming lesson in what matters :)

I have always found raking gold as taking things to the logical extreme. Even if assume that the capitalist economy is precarious, imagining USD becoming useless is an impossible scenario. When that happens, the whole world would be in utter chaos—far more problems than what having Gold will solve.

Assuming the USD is running the world, yes, it would be the end. But it's not the case. Lehman brothers was 158 years old when it disapeared in 2008 in a blink of an eye. You should never say never.
Gold survived the last 1000 years, it's the safest asset you can own in life.
