Spot on. A word of advice to people in the tech field: save while the sun shines because another thing you can't time besides the market is when the money will be flowing your way.

I'm somewhat optimistic about the long term prospects because if new technology isn't the future then what is?

But seriously, don't pretend like your high salary will last a lifetime and plan accordingly.
