The net worth discussion–as referenced in this thread–is of particular interest to me–especially when you look at the dire statistics on that topic for 95% of US households.
My wife mentioned a piece she saw on a recent program about a family who, to all appearances, seemed to be doing very well in life–nice house, raised 5 kids–etc., etc. Then, something happened, and they are now living in a motor home in their late 40’s!! Scary stuff.
So, regardless of how much anyone makes, or where anyone chooses to live–HOA, no HOA, Mello, no Mello–or what they choose to buy, etc., etc., IMHO the bottom line is net worth.
Of course, there are many other things that can effect your life, but, after we had everything we wanted, if we hadn’t acquired a high net worth by the time we were 50, our lives would not be nearly as enjoyable as they are.
