  That's me. Low fee broad mutual funds and just making a good salary (constantly negotiated), having no kids, and being frugal. Got there before 40.

  Consistent, high-paying employment here as well, paired with consistent investing in stocks. I got pretty well smacked down in 2000 and again in 2008, but still crossed the 7-figure mark around age 40 even in spite (I would argue because) of the volatility and risk in the stock market.
