We will undoubtedly drop down below, but this is the first time we've hit $1 million dollars in savings and investments. We'd been hovering around $900,000 in investments, and we just sold our house. After putting our down payment down on the new one and covering our moving expenses, we have $120,000 in extra cash (beyond our "regular" cash). Our FIRE number is somewhere around 1.2 million, I think, but we just moved from the US to Canada so I'm not sure exactly what our expenses are going to be going forward. It's silly and arbitrary, but I have to admit I get a small charge out of hitting a million USD, before we start looking at things more in terms of CAD (where we'd already be over a million).
For reference, I'm 44, DW is 40. I earn $80K (started at $40K ~10 years ago) and DW is currently on leave but was earning ~$40K before that. We've only really been focusing on savings for ~10 years -- I spent my twenties living overseas. I was frugal, but earned very little. And DW had no savings (and ~$30K in debt) when we got married (again, ~10 years ago). We basically just do a four fund, low cost index fund AA.
Oh, and just to give a sense of timing, here are the last several years' values:
1/1/2020 - $880,193
1/1/2019 - $667,472
1/1/2018 - $676,316
1/1/2017 - $527,811
1/1/2016 - $388,210
1/1/2015 - $353,233
1/1/2014 - $295,587
1/1/2013 - $211,118
Thanks to all you folks for the inspiration and the information!
