Replying here, because I had no time to reply here earlier due to meetings. Anyway yes between 150 - 200k range. My prior comment before removed was 5k savings, 11k 401k. I had more, but life events. For me, it's a variety of things. Largely summed up as I bought a house at 25. Had health issues that were in remission, then came back. And have been trying to get above water since. I know a number of software engineers, who are in it just to pay the bills. As the pay increases so do the responiblities you hold.
