I started following this group a short number of years ago, thinking it would be mission impossible. But a combination of saving and market returns meant I crossed the 1m threshold at the end of December 2020. I thought it was a fluke so didn’t particularly notice.

Just passed 1.1m.

Guess that means it wasn’t a fluke, so thank you for all the encouragement, I somehow managed to graduate this group :-)

Good luck everyone - if I can do it, you all certainly can (and will)!

Still climbing.. Moved in March so had a lot of expenses (two months of overlapped rent, washer/dryer, fridge, built a home gym, etc.). April I get 5 paychecks instead of 4. still have a few sizable expenses but should save at least $12k-$14k.

Really itching to hit $1MM this year.. Our first baby is due in August, and with a bit of market help, if I can manage to become a millionaire the same month my first child is born, that will be a helluva month.. Even if I hit it this year, this will still be a helluva year!

Those of you who track monthly makes me jealous with all your data points, I just know I'd become obsessed if I reached it that frequently. This is household total net worth:

7/2020- $597k
10/2020-$646k
1/2021-$717k
4/2021-$763k

December$281,461$391,293$531,137-

March is usually a particularly good month for us (exception: 2020) due to a nice chunk the the 401K from my spouse's bonus (plus the match) and then using the rest of the bonus to fill any remainder in the IRAs, but this year was particularly good. We found out that spouse would be getting an additional $15,000 in retirement as a reward for good work (I KNOW, right?!).

That is not currently reflected in the numbers above because it comes with the added requirement that it vests in three parts over three years (there's the catch). I cannot decide how to count it here... the full amount shows as part of his retirement (including growth, thanks markets!) accounts. But I don't think I want count it until it vests.

Congrats to all the grads and welcome to the new folks!

First post in this thread! Somehow getting into this one is more exciting than the previous ones! :-)

Jan. 2017   $42,000 [discovered MMM at age 41]
...
Apr. 2019   $271,294
...
Aug. 2020  $402,692
Nov. 2020  $427,563
Dec. 2020  $444,558
Jan. 2021  $459,349
Feb. 2021  $475,145
Mar. 2021  $477,249
Apr. 2021  $503,448

Had been expecting to graduate into this thread sometime this coming summer, but here we are! I've got about $30k in federal student loans due to be forgiven this June, and a decent tax return and a raise coming up, so hopefully I'm here to stay for a while!

Figures above include a pretty conservative home-equity number. Liquid assets are at $452k currently.

Hello all! I'm coming to join ya'll here on this journey, having recently crossed the threshold. As my current FI number is a bit less than the goal, I may not graduate from here, but maybe I'll end up with a OMY or two and end up finishing off this race as well.

Starting at:
1 January 2021 - $502,810

1 January 2021 - $502,810
1 April 2021      - $542,985

So literally on 4/1 I broke $1m, but then fell back some.  Inched back over again, so we will see if we are a bit more safely ensconced at the end of April, but if we move in tens of thousands increments again will be very happy.

Just broke through another level - $602,920!  15 months from joining this thread - it will be interesting to see how long the next $100,000 takes.

Just broke through another level - $602,920!  15 months from joining this thread - it will be interesting to see how long the next $100,000 takes.

Since passing 400k mark its took me about 14-18 months to move up 100k depending on markets etc.

However the 700-800k run took only 6 months which is crazy.  Its 3 months since I passed 800 and closing in on 850 so could be 7-8 months for 800-900.

The last decade has been pretty great for these races.

I'm not as excited if we have -10% returns a few years in a row and I break even at best for net worth growth :)

Same, especially when looking at market valuation related to price/earnings ratios. While I'm on track to hit $1M in about 12 months even with pretty flat market returns, I would be in the same situation as you describe where if we were losing 10% a year, or an even bigger drop like we saw from mid 2007 to early 2009, my 12 months to $1M could end up taking more like 4 years. It's just part of the market cycle. We lean on our data and the data says equities are simply more valuable in the long term of multi-decade wealth planning than bonds, for example. Or even if you're in real estate, if the current runup in housing prices is leading to even a half-as-severe 2008 style housing crash, that's still going to put a similar multi-year dent in a big real estate portfolio.

We work with whatever we've got, and accept that we have very little control on external events that stretch beyond our own sphere of influence and ability to decide the balance of our portfolios.

Joining the ranks of you folks chasing that seven-figure milestone! (To keep my journey consistent, I’m going to be following based on my personal investments / retirement accounts—separate from the wife's—and not counting the home value).

This weekend, April 2021, I hit a major milestone: $700k at 37-years-old.

Looking back at notes from ‘Race from 250 to 500k!’, here’s a brief recap:
*June 2010 - Finish grad school, 26 y/o, $90k+ in debt; new job at $40k/year
*May 2015 - (I think) - First crossed $100k at 31 y/o
*January 2018 - Passed the $250k mark
*April 2019 - Hit $312.5k
*June 2019 - 1/3 of the way to $1M
*February 2020 - Hit $400k
*November 2020 - Eclipsed $500k (and finished the ‘Race from 250 to $500k!’)

Joining from the race to 500,000 thread which is based on liquid investments, but will post both since living in Seattle has been good to real estate value lately, but that is more an estimate of what we would get from a sale of our house

May 2018: $502,000 Inv/$852,000 NW

We just recently passed the $1,000,000 mark for liquid investments. Our house value has also gone up a lot living in the Seattle area.

April 2021: 1,029,000 investments/ 1,576,000 total NW. I have been going by investments total not including house.

My 401k: 360000
Wife 401k: 435000
Vanguard non-retirement: 164000
College fund: 33000
HSA: 37000

Total NW includes house minus mortgage estimate.

There has been good growth we also still save aggressively, but saving percent was a bit higher a few years ago. Still around 50% savings rate.

@Rife Congratulations!!!! Great to know that your property value is going up, probably you are in a neighborhood.  I also live in Seattle and my property value has been going down the hill, I live in downtown.  What's next in your race?

We are just outside Mill Creek. It has been crazy. Two houses on our street sold in less than 5 hours on the market. Prices have been going up fast. We are still working and going on to the race for 2 million next. My wife will retire first probably but not quite yet.

My wife and I crossed the $900k mark this month and are over 50% of our full FIRE number of $1.8 million. We are less than $300k from our $1.2m lean fire number (that would pay off the house plus give us $40k a year). This is finally starting to feel real. We’ve been at a 70%+ savings rate throughout COVID and are going to try and keep it up as long as possible.

Cash & investments:
2/21/21:$855k
3/15/21: $872k
4/15/21: $915k

04/15/2021:  $795,707

Agreed that this first quarter has been pretty incredible - @Sid Hoffman appreciate your realistic statement there - I'm exactly one of those folks you are referring to - I think I opened a brokerage account in 2012, so basically its just been a snowball rolling down a hill (especially since I started reading MMM in 2016 and got wise to Vanguard mutual funds) faster and faster, but the market can't do this forever....right?
