Former biglawmo. I don’t plan to retire — I don’t know what I would do with myself. I’ll have plenty of cash to retire early but not desire to. That could change in 30 years of course.

how long were you in BIGLAW?

how much did you save up while in BIGLAW?

would you consider just doing something totally different when you're 50 or so? like Uber driver or whatever if you don't need a ton of cash.

I’d have to do a lot of math to figure that out bro, especially pulling out the compound interest. My savings continue to be high since biglaw. Probably the same on average — less than in my 5th year but more than in my first 2.

Make a lot of money and keep major expenses under control. People trying to save money by cutting down their Starbucks coffee purchases are not going to be successful at saving vs people who figure out how to pay 1k less in rent and/or car payments per month.

Also: invest into a 10 year bull market

I'm still pretty impressed you saved that much. 2700 a month isn't THAT cheap, though I guess if you saved a lot when it was cheaper that helped.

Also if that guy is not including Home equity he has a bunch more money. I rent.
