To be honest it vastly depends on what you expect to need in retirement. Based on my current salary and estimated retirement payment (which some online calculator calculated at ~2/3rds my income) I'm still slightly below what I should be saving for that. But by then I will both need more money to take care of family (hopefully) and less money since I should have long paid off my house and car by then.

My salary is much higher than household average but far from unheard of in tech. There are definitely some scrappy college grads getting offers higher than it. and I have 3+ decades to increase it.

You only expect to need one car from now through the end of your retirement?

Ha, okay fair. But I'm hoping any subsequent cars can be bought outright instead of under a plan. But who knows with inflation?

Post retirement I should definitely have the finances to get some pretty nice sports car.
