We crossed the $1M threshold as of 6/30/17!
« on: July 14, 2017, 02:22:09 PM »
I just had a chance to update our NW tracking spreadsheet and was stoked to find that we crossed the $1M threshold. It's pretty anticlimactic really.  I did text my husband but can't really tell anyone else. We are 33 and 35 and have 2 year old twins.  Our next milestone will be $1M in investments! Hoping we can hit that in the next 3 years depending on how the market does.  Below are the details.  We received one inheritance of $13k and the kids' 529 plans were funded by grandparents (woohoo!!!) but other than that it has been all us.  Oh and our parents paid for our undergrad which gave us a huge savings advantage early on.

Tax Deferred Retirement $485k
Roth $21k
HSA $11k
Brokerage $153k
Estimated Home Value $375k
Vehicles $55k
Kids' 529 Plans $60k
TOTAL ASSETS $1,160,000

Mortgage @ 3.75% ($135,000)
Car Loan @ 1.72% ($15,500)
TOTAL LIABILITIES ($150,500)

NET WORTH $1,009,500

Nice work - remember to reward your good husband.  He gave you 2 beautiful kids and $1M NW.  I know, you also contributed but it really does take two and he's the other half!

Impressive, and at such a young age! Wow! Congrats.

It'll just snowball from here, without a whole lot of effort.

Congrats!

Oh, by the way, you'll likely be crossing it two more times, once on the way down and once on the way back up.   So you'll get to celebrate again! :)

Congratulations!!  At least you can tell people here.  My wife and I are about your age and should hit 500k next month so you all are killing it.

Congratulations, what a great milestone you've achieved.

I agree it sucks not sharing with people in real life, but you've got all us here to boast to.

I hope to get there myself in about 4 years time.
