My Parents Are Bad Ass
« on: June 24, 2015, 09:42:21 AM »
I am so proud of my parents and what they accomplished in what others would take a lifetime.
Came to US 25 years ago in their early 40's with 6 suitcases, $4000 dollars, 2 kids and not a word of English.
Never made more than $20 an hour at their jobs.
Fast forward to today.
No debts of any kind. Everything is paid for.
500K in retirement  accounts, brokerage accounts etc
1 mil in real state investments including primary home.
Total net worth 1.5 mil.
Both have been FIRE for sometime now, but like countless others don't believe that retirement can happen before 65.
Congratulation MOM and POP!!
You are inspiration and proof that anything can be accomplished if you put your mind and soul into it.
