Ask HN: What's Your Rough Net Worth and Age?

#1
It's fun to do these kind of threads every once in a while because it gets people talking about personal finance, success, failure, perspective, and other topics rooted in money.

So what's your general age-range/cohort and what's your Net Worth?

I'll start: late 20s, ~500k depending on the day and market fluctuations.

The older you are, the more chances you have had to accumulate.

Sometimes you are able to keep what you receive, sometimes you quickly lose what you receive. The more often you are tough with yourself, the more you manage to hang on to.

There's a lot depending on luck and life-choices. Think of the old game "Snakes and Ladders".

For me: Over 70, about 8-10 million.

A small note: Health and happiness are worth more than money. But having money is very handy, and gives you more options.
