First of all big congrats to all the new millionaires and almost millionaires, way to stick with it!! This was a great month in the markets and my bonus hit - hooray!! My original 1mm goal when I started was mid-2027 but as of today looks like I could hit it end of 2025- wild and crazy and awesome!

Once I get to 750k I'll add a new 1m goal in here.

That's a table. If you click the Quote link in the upper right of the post you'll see how it was done.

As mentioned, table -- though I don't use a table for mine. I use the code brackets and use tabs to align everything, though I have to type a tab elsewhere and then paste it into the forum box because otherwise tab just moves me out of it.

November 18, 2023: $580,473.22 as of this morning. Small market upswing plus a fairly large payment from my business deal earlier this year means I hit both my Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 goals well in advance on paper. Some of this will be taken out for taxes, but it’s been a crazy month for progress toward my goals.

December 1, 2023: $603,891.35 as of today's paycheck. Approximately $27K of this is earmarked for taxes, so I'm sitting at around $576K "true" net worth. I've reached out to my CPA to see if I can to do anything before year end to reduce that bill.

January 18, 2024: $601,752.29 as of today. This is the adjusted "true" net worth after taking out the tax account I have earmarked (currently sitting just under $45k). So I'm well on my way to my Q2 goal of $620K early, but I also have a lot of work that needs to be done around the house. I just paid for a bathroom remodel, and have a lot of other work that needs to be done (water penetration issues and remediation). Overall doing well and feeling good about the progress I'm making.

February 12, 2024: Weird mid-month update I guess. $622,698.18 adjusted "true" net worth with earmarked taxes taken out of consideration. Hit Q2 goal already, but I likely won't hang onto it for too long since I still have a LOT of work around the house to get done. I'm hoping to keep the kitchen + flooring + drywall down to ~$25K or so but we'll see. Already $23K in this year between bathroom, re-grading the lawn, and installing gutters and french drains.

March 6, 2024: $628,383.97 for now after bathroom, re-grading lawn, and installing gutters and french drains at the house. Still have more work to do, but just glad NW is still mostly holding through the spending. I'll go ahead and mark my quarterly goal as met, ahead of the curve and still waiting on some disbursements.

Whelp, I haven't hit a million, but I happened to notice I went past my FIRE number of 750k.

Congratulations!!! :)

[tarheeldan]

Graduation day! Big bonus today and after a very strong month for the market it's just enough to earn our second comma!

Woohoo! Congrats, millionaire! :)

Mar 2023: 1,005,000  I can't believe it!

Congratulations!!! :)

Steady as she goes for me! Up 4.20% or $33,688 last month to $835,881

Whelp, I haven't hit a million, but I happened to notice I went past my FIRE number of 750k.

Congratulations!!! :)

Thanks! Been a long time comin'!

[theninthwall]

I haven't posted in here before, but we just passed our million when we did our numbers at the end of last month (squeaked in by $400 haha). It was a nice milestone for us both. One quirk of our numbers is that a lot of our assets are still in Australian dollars, so we've been swimming against the current of a falling Australian dollar. If we correct our numbers for that, they look even rosier - which is nice.

[Em-Dog]

First of all big congrats to all the new millionaires and almost millionaires, way to stick with it!! This was a great month in the markets and my bonus hit - hooray!! My original 1mm goal when I started was mid-2027 but as of today looks like I could hit it end of 2025- wild and crazy and awesome!

Once I get to 750k I'll add a new 1m goal in here.

May I ask how you formatted this table so nicely? I can't get my columns to be straight

@savinglabor I clicked quote on someone else's post who had a good table and just used their format. You can use mine if you click quote, then you'll see where to change the numbers and things!

[patchyfacialhair]

Well, we had an eventful March...and kid #3 is due any day now. So I paid all the bills and updated the spreadsheet a little early in case the kid decides to come on the first of the month, when I usually do all this.

Bonuses for both of us hit. Wife got some major outperformance bonuses and whatnot...plus the market being at all time highs really helped. All that to say...we did it! We've crossed the $1M net worth threshold, on paper.

What's next? First, get this kid out as soon as possible! We are strongly leaning toward me quitting and doing the stay at home dad thing for a little while. We both have 3+ months off work, paid, so we have time to decide. The Wife is also planning on looking at some other opportunities while on leave. While we didn't anything special to "celebrate" crossing the $1M mark, we both acknowledged that we have a position of strength when it comes to approaching the future. What a ride! We got married in very late 2015, and basically had a zero net worth. Less than 9 years later to the first million. Seems surreal.

What a ride! We got married in very late 2015, and basically had a zero net worth. Less than 9 years later to the first million. Seems surreal.

Congrats!! It is a surreal feeling. If it helps, we got marred in 2015, but with more like ~$200k net worth, less than that liquid. We've wobbled a bit above and below liquid million over the past few months, especially with buying a house and moving expenses. Fingers crossed we're super close to it once more as Q1 wraps up...

Anyway, with few if any real world people to talk about it... and probably no direct/immediate actions, it's weird how you reach $1 million but the experience can't be like, CELEBRATED and SHOUTED ABOUT. But enjoy it, nonetheless!

While I'm far less engaged with the forum here than I used to be, it's still my one place to talk about this sort of stuff, and I'm glad to share the milestone!

While I'm more on the consumer sucka side of mustachianism, the lessons learned from the blog and the forum have been so valuable.

Officially started the race to 1M last month. Not sure if I will actually finish this race as I am more focused on making memories with my young family then early retirement. We are going on a trip to Disney in April, so net worth increases may be low for the next couple months as we pay that off.

Updating early as I’ll be out of town on the 1st. It was another month of bloodbath expenses with the second half of the roof due and a lot of vet bills. Still amazing to see progress with that much outflow! Happy Spring to you all.

Woooooo!!!! Took about 3 years and 4 months to go from 500k->1m. When I first joined, I speculated this would be a bit more of a meander than a race and in some ways that was true (took an unpaid sabbatical for half a year), in other ways it's hard to say 3.33 years isn't race pace

I love seeing everyone riding the wave! It's both exciting and a bit scary realizing how much more the market moves the meter now, compared to contributions. I just do quarterly checks these days, to keep from fretting too much.

Goal: $1.3M before downshifting a bit. We'd love to reach the 2/3 point this year.

Congrats on the milestone!

Yes, nuts. Does anyone else have this feeling of unrealness? It felt sooooo real in 2022 when everything was dropping all the time. The contrast is a little whiplash-y.

I don't know, 2022 was still very much a crazy Covid world, for much of that year....my net worth went down about 7% in 2022. My net worth it went up 36% in 2021 and 37% in 2023, so 2022 was obviously poor in comparison, but I don't know that it was something horrible.

[CDNSaver]

On Tuesday I will it 1MM net worth.  700k invested.

I thought I’d be more excited for this one but it doesn’t seem like anything special.

I’m half way to FIRE though so that’s kind of exciting.

EOY24 Goal: 680-700k

Numbers based on a majority of accounts I am tracking.  Does not include some small accounts or business accounts.   

03/31/2023 Fire:$501,454.19 + Medi:$216,961.81 = $718,416.00   ~3.66%

So....  700k beaten, and... even after I pay taxes in the next 13 days, of which I owe a lot, due to surprise wealth showing up.  I will still be within in my goal target....  Not complaining, if your paying more in taxes it means your doing something RIGHT!  Though I will probably seek more advice on trimming them down next year... 
So... I have to wonder, do I attempt to to raise the goal?  Do I just sit happy and wait.   Decisions decisions.

It's been forever since I've posted, and I haven't always kept track of my accounts, but wow, time and a great market have provided pretty incredible growth! The figures represent my pre-tax, brokerage, and cash savings. Doesn't include the equity in my home.

Maybe I'll hit $1 million in 2026?!

Bought a new-to-me car and a new furnace and mini-split heat pumps, updated still-conservative house value. Probably will hit $1M this month!!

As someone who grew up in and out of Section 8 housing and had a net worth of less than zero until my late thirties, I am so tremendously surprised to be in this position. And so grateful to this community! I literally read MMM investment order, etc. in late '16 and just . . . did that. Also joined the DPOYM club, which has helped a lot.

[mbk]

The $100k race took 5 years, the $100k-$250k race took 5 years, and the $250k-$500k race took 3 years. I am considering only investment money. Conservative aim is to complete the race in 5 years.

Aug 6, 2023: $550k.
Mar 1, 2023: $697k
Apr 1, 2023:  $737k

Riding the market upswing.

On a different note, my net worth crossed $1M. Granted the number is based on the Zillow prediction of the value of the houses I own.
