Congratulations! I'm curious, how have you saved 550k at age 32? Is it a matter a linearly saving ~68k USD a year every working year (I'm assuming a high-paying engineer job in the Valley), or have you had equity in a successful venture?

It's really not that much if you look at the other responses. Anyway, the answer is linearly saving ~50% of income, I hope I'll get some sort of liquidity event from some stock options I have, but I'm not banking on it.

Very nice! Did you get there through normal income and aggressive savings, or had some liquidity event from startups?

Normal income -> savings, timely purchase of primary residence during recession, some fortunate startup equity. About a third each.

Cost of Living is very much "ouch". Mind sharing what you pay for rent and in what area?
