Compounding interest is your friend.
I agree - I remember it feeling like it took FOREVER to save up to $100K. Like I remember thinking if it took that long, I would NEVER retire. But from there, the growth has been exponential (literally - ha!)

The more I’ve looked into the age related recommendations the more I’ve realized they don’t apply to physicians

You have some extravagant clients or don't manage money well.

They have to fund his retirement. That advice doesn't come cheap.

It ain't cheap to manage those assets (and put you in actively managed funds with front end load fees mind you).

It's less dependent on salary and much more dependent on expenses.

But there is a reason they use salary.
Eddie

Salary is horrible indicator for someone who has a very high savings rate (30%+).
TheLoneCougar

Yup. It is.

I get where you are coming from and I don't really have an answer for the general population.

Any rules of thumb based on salary are garbage. Base it on your annual expenses

Much different to have $100K saved as a 40 yo doctor vs. as a 40 yo HS teacher.
dYrtbYkerYder

Not if the doctor lives like the teacher.
