what's your age and how much you got? I'm 34 and have about 47k not real happy about it, trying hard to put as much as possible away, but I took a hell of a hit in the market from 2000 to 2003.

How much is in my 401k?
The answer I would rather not say,
Not enough to retire and play,
But just enough for a rainy day!

I'm 23, I've got about $10K in my companies profit sharing. I also purchase stock which is worth around 15K right now ... (not really a retirement account, however I am investing in long term growth stocks, not day trading or penny stocks. IE, the market taking a crap in 01 and 02 didn't really hurt me at all, though the value of my stock did depreciate a bit.

when did you start working? Or did you put a lot of money into your retirement accounts after taxes?
