Worked my a$$ off for it.
Had it not been for socking the max possible in several 401k's years ago, it would be a lot less.
Four years ago my boss had a very good season. He looked at all the employees company savings accounts. Any employee who had been there over a year he doubled everything that was in their total 401k account. Cost him a mil in cash but like I said, he did very well that year. I am very lucky that I had $30k in my account so far and it was doubled.
Second thing is that my house has done very well in the last 3 years.
Hard work, a bit of work with investments, luck and the grace of God has been very good to me. I could retire now if I wanted to scrape by (and work a bit on the side) but right now work is fun and I enjoy it, so why stop?
