Congratulations!
That's definitely something to be proud of.
Thank you!!
Brag away! That's an awesome savings rate, and keep going :-)
Thanks! Working on it!
Strong work, oneil!
If it helps you at all, I've bulit an Excel based Savings Calculator that can help keep your thoughts and contributions organized to calculate both gross and net annual savings rate.
If you just recently discovered this site, I'm guessing your rate is only going to improve (which is hard to do when you're in the 99th percentile!).
Cheers!

Thanks, I'll check out the calculator you linked to!
By "gross" savings rate do you mean that you include taxes as expenses? If so, that's a pretty high rate.
Yes, gross means before taxes. I have included taxes in our expenses. Our tax rate is relatively low due to a lot of deductions. We got a HUGE tax refund this year, so I have decreased my withholdings (increased my exemptions?) Plus, I live in a state with no state income tax which helps.
**Not factored into our savings rate is our contributions towards our HSA and my employer's contributions to HSA.
We have 2 rental properties. I keep the rent income, mortgage, and other expenses separate. So, these don't positively or negatively affect our savings rate.
