Man, seeing some of theses huge increases sure makes me wish I had more invested during this awesome decade of returns. On the bright side we only had ~$22,000 in retirement accounts in 2013 and we have about $220K now so a 10 time increase.
We also paid off/rolled into mortgage about $100K of Credit card debt and I was a SAHD from 2012- late 2016. Next 10 years should be even better with both my wife and I's salary's increasing and having some money invested and less debt.

Really picking up steam now :) This was our best year yet despite remodeling a bathroom and spending 50 nights on vacation!!
If we can average say ~$60K increases next 12-13 years we should be a little over a million NW by the time DW's pension hits. With her pension covering ~50% of our spend that million should do it!!
