With the run up the last 3 days by about 7k I limped over conservatively the 3M mark. This despite my withdrawals and being fired what will be 3 years in April. If you see my goals below I posted its due in big part to the Huge market run up and the difference in when I sold and downsized. This does include my paid for house with a conservative value of 300k. Now lets see if it will stay here, grow and for how long. I could honestly not have done this without the help of the MMM family as I am learning stuff everyday here and a couple other sites but 90% here. Yes I am very happy but not sure I will ever be content. Not sure why that is but its just my nature I guess. In fairness I must also add that about a year ago my DW for simply getting Healthcare took a easy peasy flexible job that doesnt pay much but has great benefits. With 4 kids and all the political crap we just couldnt afford to take a chance. Now with 2 off to college in 2 years she will rejoin me. 100% of her earnings goes to 401k and HSA as I said its not much but it all adds up. And that we are just starting. I also put about 50k into remodeling the downsized house we bought and am doing a bathroom remodel starting next week I have saved for once my daughter leaves for college. Anyhow I felt I wanted to share with you guys because its been an adventure to say the least.

These are my financial goals i posted the other day on another thread so figure I better put them in my Journal so I can reflect on them as much as possible.
Ok, See if this works out as planned. Been running these numbers conservatively for 2 months now. Currently slightly above 1.35M excluding Paid for house worth 550k.(No Mortgage) 350k Vacation Home (no Mortgage)
End of 2014 - 1.7M Figured tad low. Sale of paid for Vacation home @ 300 plus 50k savings
End of 2015- 1.8M
End of 2016- 1.9Mk
End of 2017- 2.3M 100K from savings and we will then downsize as kids go to college no more than 300k on house preferably 250k but still will have 2 kids living with us. Want this to be at 2.5 and above so working on that now and should be higher. But then be both done!
