Just some general ballpark numbers people use to measure retirement savings by age. I strive to be at the top numbers for each age bracket.

Investor's Age Savings Benchmarks
30 0.5x of salary saved today
35 1x to 1.5x salary saved today
40 1.5x to 2.5x salary saved today
45 2.5x to 4x salary saved today
50 3.5x to 6x salary saved today
55 4.5x to 8x salary saved today
60 6x to 11x salary saved today
65 7.5x to 13.5x salary saved today


I always recommend people try saving between 10-15% of your income to get these numbers. You obviously have to live too but this becomes easier as you earn more through age, as long as your raises don't turn into lifestyle creep. Every raise you get requires a bump in your contribution of at least 1%.

Kudos to you thinking about it at your age. That's how you make sure you aren't working until you die.

Use this one and put in 6-8% growth. I use 6% and try to hit my total marker that I want by age 60. If I get 8-10%, I'll be more loaded than I'd know what to do with for my lifestyle (I'm pretty simple).

10% is ****ing insane! That's going to make you rich and could be a huge retention thing for you to consider is staying with your company.

I get a whopping 1% working for a small company.

Yeah, they pretty much had to bump up the contribution to 10% in lieu of giving us pensions to match the legacy employees.

Niiiiice.

Probably still cheaper for them but that’s a damn fine return.

Mine is a safe harbor qualified plan which means I have to offer better programs to make sure I’m not abusing my employees so I can contribute to it.

My match is 100% of the first 3% 50% of the next 2 so the employee has to contribute 5 to get 4.

Yours kicks the shit out of mine.

Here's one from Google search

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/...h/74807903007/

According to a post from a cybersecurity expert on X, formerly Twitter, USDoD claims to be selling the 2.9 billion records for citizens of the U.S., U.K. and Canada on the dark web for $3.5 million.

Since the information was posted for sale in April, others have released different copies of the data, according to the cybersecurity and technology news site Bleeping Computer.

A hacker known as "Fenice" leaked the most complete version of the data for free on a forum in August, Bleeping Computer reported.
****ing WOW!

Interesting.

Financials don't look terrifying. Any idea why they ate shit so bad? I mean everything did, but almost 60% is a lot. Was it just their Q42023 sales decline?

Looks like a pretty good play to me.

Q2 performance wasn't great and I think that coupled with panic selling. They continue to gain market share, however. Once growth catches up, the valuation should fall in line.

Anecdotally, I see the shit everywhere. Market is crowded but they seem to have a critical mass.

They got Pepsi distribution a few years back by giving up equity. I thought they'd be bought out completely by now. That chart looks like a rollercoaster ride drop. Looks like they poisoned a shit ton of ppl

Bought AIRI right before opening expecting it to take off. Volume kind of dwindled and price was coming back down so sold half for a 5% gain and the other half for a 2% gain. A few minutes after dumping it, it took off. Ooops.
