Net Worth Number At Every Age You Should Try Reaching As A High Earner
Discover what you could aim to save at every age — from your 20s through your 60s —and where your net worth stands. Host Andrew Giancola breaks down how much high earners could target saving across every decade, using a three-tier framework — "on pace," "ahead of the curve," and "elite" — to help you gauge where you stand. He discusses strategies like maxing a 401(k), funding a backdoor Roth IRA, building a taxable brokerage account, and planning around catch-up contributions and Roth conversions. Then, Andrew reacts to a video on average and median net worth data by age, unpacking why what you see on social media often looks very different from reality.
