    I just updated my annual spreadsheet (haven’t been on top of it) and some “fun” facts that no one asked for:

    • Our portfolio almost covers my base salary at a naive 4% withdrawal
    • Our net worth is 81% of total lifetime gross earnings
    • My pay at my current job has increased an average of 20% annually over the last decade (with considerable volatility)
    • My pay this year is almost 7x more than my first job out of college (inflation adjusted)
    • Our highest earning year was 4 years ago
    • Our net worth has increased a bit over 6x since I heavily got into FIRE
    • My 401k is worth just under double the gross contributions

      A few Qs because I hate myself:

      • what is your base salary?
      • what is your pay currently?
      • do you amend your base salary calculations when you get a raise?
      • also what do you do that gives you a 20% raise every year?

        I’m conflicted on giving numbers, by default it feels like an unintended flex. But hey, it’s the fire community and we love numbers so…

        • $150k
        • complicated, but has averaged $750k the last few years
        • I don’t, this was a factoid, I concentrate on expenditures
        • tech in finance, mostly leading teams and managing people

          Thanks for your candid response!

          However it does confirm that I will never see these numbers in my lifetime.
