Hit the 100k mark!!!
« on: April 22, 2014, 07:16:40 AM »
Big milestone achieved!  At the age of 29, my 401k with Fidelity is now at $100k!!  I also have an HSA with Fidelity ($10k) and a personal investing account ($2k).
With Vanguard, I have a Roth IRA with $18k, and a personal account of $3k.

I am also paying off my house with any extra windfall amounts or overtime from my job.

Congrats!
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

Way to go! You're on your way. I really think 100k is a huge milestone. Plus you have your other accounts!

Congrats! I'm hoping to pass the 100k mark soon although it wouldn't all be in investments.

At 29 that is more than impressive!  Now loosen up that wallet and go have a few beers with your friends!  ;-)

Thanks all! To celebrate, I decided that this year I would max out my 401k with $17,500 for the first year ever.
Oh, and I decided to enjoy a few brews with the locals!

Congrats!!

My goal is to be where you are by this time next year. It's gonna be tough... but I'm on track. Kudos for your achievement. They say it's all downhill after the first 100k.

That is awesome to do that before 30. The next $100K will be easier than the first.
