Default How big is your DPSP?

Personal question, I know. But this being an anonymous forum, I thought I'd give it a shot. Just trying to get a gauge for whether or not I'm on track with my savings compared to what other Delta pilots are doing. If you care to share, please post your approximate balance and how many years you've been employed.

P.S. Not interested in the stolen retirement debates that I expect from some of you

Examining account balances of others isnt an effective measure of wher you are or need to be.

That is a question you can only answer by examining your own personal and economic circumstances.

What? After other threads comparing retirement seniority, W-2 income, flt time when hired, this forum is now resorting to comparing retirement account balances?

In seriousness though, Fidelity has some info on their website that has various benchmarks based on age for amounts saved. I.e. at age 35 have two years income saved etc etc

What are some other useless comparison threads we can have here? Coolness of your old callsign? Number of films acted in? How you fared on SSN vs Age in your new hire class? Door interaction customer engagement score?

Going to have to agree with others; sharing this stuff just isnt classy, EXCEPT what is highlighted above. Fair game, especially in PAs.
