Hi All,
More of a philosophical/opinion question than anything else, but, what do you think is a viable amount of liquid assets to have by the time someone is 30, 40, 50 years old? Of course these things depend on income, goals, etc. but with all of the changes to our economy in the last few years, what would YOU think would be reasonable and/or desirable goals for someone at each of these three ages to have in both cash (savings, CDs, etc.), and assets (real estate, certain stocks, 401Ks, etc.).
Has the downturn in the economy affected what your answer is now versus what your answer may have been some number of years ago? Why?
