Net worth after about a decade of practicing law

I regularly see people post about how much they're able to save/what number they want to target to leave biglaw. I thought it might be interesting to show how my net worth has progressed over the last 10 years.

  • I've been in practice for about a decade
  • Paid full freight at a T14
  • Biglaw for most of that time but spent some time in house making significantly less
  • My spouse has always worked but never made in excess of $100k
  • Kids - yes
  • Real estate is valued at purchase price for purposes of the chart, using Zillow/Redfin would add \~300K
  • No inheritance, but we did live with family for several years post-grad which allowed aggressive loan paydowns
