Now that I hit 1 million, I am tempted to move into more conservative investments.
...
It is 70 % equities / 30 % fixed income.
This is counting some company stock which has a fixed price and pays 5% dividends as fixed income

That's fairly conservative already, presuming your equities are diversified in broad index funds (e.g. VTSAX).

Hopefully you don't have too large an exposure to a single company's stock, your employer at that. You wouldn't want the double whammy of losing your job and a major asset in your portfolio tanking.

Your age and how close you are to retirement are also considerations for how to measure your portfolio on the conservative vs aggressive scale.

I'm a conservative guy myself, and my allocation is pretty much 70/30.

July update:

Our Stash (NW):
1/2018 - $565,049
2/2018 - $560,628
3/2018 - $573,526
5/2018 - $601,628
6/2018 - $624,739
7/2018 - $641,020

As anticipated, summer camps and home repairs are slowing down debt pay down. But, hey, the kids and house are living their best life now!

Hi Everyone,

I've just graduated from the 250-500k thread as of yesterday we are at £510k. We've typically added £100k a year through savings and investment growth, which seems insane to me if you said 5 years ago thats where we'd be!

I'm currently contracting in IT in London, so day rates are good and am saving every penny we can. Plan is to keep building the stash until it gets to around £600k and then rent the house and go travelling for a year.

After that, who knows?

Historical chart below:

Jan 2017 - £346,854
Feb 2017 - £388,581 (+£41,727)

Apr 2018 - £453,874 (-£9,325)
May 2018 - £475,489 (+£21,615)

Started the Zero Day Challenge with my wife at the end of June to try and bring a new level of mindfulness to our spending, and as a result was able to be a bit more aggressive in adding new capital to investments. Still holding a chunk of cash not accounted for here that I am still evaluating whether I want to put it into investments or pay off our mortgage, and if I decide to invest it will put us in striking distance of $1MM in our investment accounts.

Well, it's not been the best year, but I realized I haven't checked in here in awhile.

Current status:
Stash $891k
TNW $1.543M

Probably not going to cross the 1M mark for the stash this year, but at least we're finally back to a new high for the stash, which was $890k at the end of January. I looked back and saw that I originally thought we'd hit 1M for the stash by the end of 2019. Probably still doable depending on the market.

2012: $55k
2013: $75k
2014: $160k Being a realtor and also having a large portion of NW in real estate helped income and value go up drastically. (income $155k) plus asset appreciation

March 2017: 599K (I am guessing on numbers for the end of the month, but should be +/- 2K, +142K year on year)

I am towards the end of maternity leave. I am sure the saving/investing pace won't keep up when I start paying daycare (and maybe working a 70 or 80% schedule for a couple months), but not too bad for being off work!

June 2018: 689K
July 2018: 723K I guess I shouldn't be surprised given my husband's income struggles and how expensive daycare + health insurance is, but at least I'm making progress. I just switched back to 100% hours so started getting a small bump. I need to kick my husband's a$$ in to gear on the earning side and buckle down on the restaurants, I think.

08/02/18 $873,766

Took a break from constantly checking my net worth for a while.

Apparently, you should take breaks more often :)

No kidding, the market continues to go crazy...

Another annual update:

April 2016: $500k -----> saved $54.8k (~75% of income), 90/10 allocation
April 2017: $651k -----> saved $53.4k (~73% income), 60/40 allocation
April 2018: $777k

My investment risk tolerance has shifted over past couple years with political situation, and resulting lower returns last year. Now at 80/20 allocation.

Aug 1 2018: 838k

A 61k increase in 3 months is almost my annual post-tax salary, and seems totally unsustainable.

Next goal: Get to an even 800k by the end of this year.

SO AWESOME @Bergal !!! Congrats on the double commas!

You are all doing great. I am going to have some very expensive car repairs this month, which will flatten out our progress a bit. C'est la vie.

I first hit the double comma club on July 10th. Then it dipped the next day. :( But then the markets recovered, and I have been a club member in good standing for almost a month. I know it could disappear at any time, but I am enjoying it for now. The timing was particularly nice, as I became a millionaire just 10 days after my official retirement date. :D

Here's what my progress has looked like since the Fall of 2013, just a few months after I discovered MMM and started paying attention to my finances:

722k here. My last post was too many pages back to find.

We've been going gangbusters. It's going to hurt when the market corrects.

I have a prediction based on contributions and an estimated rate of return and we keep flying past it.

I've been thinking that as well, especially as I contemplate downshifting my career...

I know, right? Like a lot of you, I'm bracing for a market dip, but I think we all understand that if it goes down, it'll come up again. Trying to stress less and just have faith in the system!

Yes! Officially hit $1M yesterday. Super excited to have come so far. I was checking daily since August 1st because I was so close and my birthday is this month. I really wanted to hit it before I turned 40. So I did it! And the today realized that I don’t turn 40 until next year. Lol! I’m ridiculous, sometimes.

No real estate, about $90K is the kids 529s, everything else is cash & investments.

Thanks! And... it was gone two days later. Thankfully, I wasn’t expecting it to stick right away, so it’s fine, no surprise.
