[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3565435, member: 9374"] I've made over a million dollars in my lifetime, but... I remember when I was teaching in North Carolina one time I had a surgeon in my class, he complained that he was 40 years old before his net worth reached zero. I'll be lucky to reach a net worth of zero by the time I'm 50. If I keep pushing my retirement and the stock market doesn't crash again, I might get there. Right now, I'm well below zero in net worth. But I no longer work ER (miserable), no longer commute 3h a day (also miserable) and have plenty of time at home with my wife and son who love me much MUCH more than I deserve. So as long as we can pay the bills and once in a while take a vacation, I'll count myself lucky, upside-down net worth or no. <sigh> <edit> Oh, and it ain't from an extravagant, flashy lifestyle... my home is a plain jane 40+ y/o 2100 sq ft ranch, and all our vehicles are paid off and 12, 15 and 19 years old.
