Created a new account for this as it wouldn't be too hard to link my other one to me in real life.
Anyway, I opened up my brokerage account today to see the attached picture :)
I was curious how they'd show the million, up to then the best I'd seen was 998K.
So without anyone to tell, it's you guys who get to hear that I'm a millionaire!
I'm a 41 year old married guy with 1 kid. The $1M is all mine though as we keep separate accounts. I'm from a shithole country, but have a decently enough paying job. The main reason I got in this position is because I've been saving at least 50% of my salary since even before I knew what FIRE was. I guess I just have a saving gene.
If you're interested, all my money is in Vanguard's all world funds, some in VT and some in VWRD. I would have gone 100% VT if the US government wouldn't take so much of it when I die.
Apart from my investments I don't really have much of value. My car is probably only worth $2k, and I have a $1k bicycle. I do have a pension fund that will pay out something when I'm 62, which for me just means more spending ability when I'm older.
My FIRE date is set in mostly dry cement for the end of 2022 when full time traveling starts :)
