I began the FI journey about 12 years ago. I had just turned 21, recovered from a battle with cancer, and graduated college. My initial move was to open an IRA, and after many days of researching, I was introduced to index investing and Bogle's Vanguard. In times of market uncertainty--my first reaction has been to come to forums like this to hear from similar minded investors and mustachians as therapy and motivation.
This morning, our net worth eclipsed $1,000,000 for the first time.
I am tremendously grateful for the cumulative knowledge and caring community this forum has provided my family on this journey.
