Congrats! This reminds me of the saying: the first million is the hardest to make. I always thought that was just tongue in cheek, but now I realize it's totally true. It took our family 34 years to get the first one and now two and a half years later we've got a second. Granted, real estate and stock indexes have been very strong over that period, but after amassing a million dollars of nest egg, it starts generating more money passively than most people can earn actively. If you don't somehow abandon all your mustachian ways tomorrow, that second million will come a whole hell of a lot faster than 51 more years!
