Race from 500k to 1M!

[dreadmoose]

I've had my eye on this thread for quite some time.  I watched my investment balance get closer and closer and finally today is the day.

4.27.21   $502,162.30  investments only.

This is crazy for me since I grew up in a working class household that never had enough to pay all the bills.  I never made more than 7000 dollars a year until the age of 30.  I am now 53.   I don't really aspire to a million.  My house and cars are paid off and my daughter got a fat four year scholarship.  My husband has a government job with health insurance.  We also have a couple of rentals.  My lean fire is 600 and fat fire is 900k.  I will quit in six years.  I'm feeling so happy.

This is very cool, your final race and you don't even have to complete it to win! Congratulations.

Sadly I have to hit at least the next race (or two) because Canada uses funny money that's worth less than yours.

Sorry about the Canadian currency.   But you live in an amazing country so that is worth a lot.  I am in the Northwest and I feel like we have more culturally similar to Canada than other parts of the US.  Good luck with your race.  Things could take a positive turn.

Big numbers for April, goodness.

Every time I check the retirement accounts I cannot help but feel incredibly rich. Like Hounton (and others here I know), I grew up in a working class household where my mom would decided each month which bills to pay and which ones could wait. I remember in school someone talking about what they would do with a million dollars and I couldn't come up with anything at first, because I couldn't imagine having a million dollars. Well... I'm not there yet, but I seem to be well on my way.

Whoohoo! 

Although you are welcome back, I think the rules say once you make it to the next level, you get to stay there, no matter what the net worth does.

[JLee]

Updated house values and added in my solar loan (I originally didn't count it because it was all cash flow positive from the beginning, but I've decided to pay it off early anyway). 

I passed $1mil in assets, which is pretty cool. Now I just need the NW number to get there :)

Between increase in home value (conservative estimate) and surging stock market, this was a great month. We finally opened a taxable brokerage account and we're focusing on funding that to help build flexibility for our 50s. It's crazy that we're almost already up $100K for the year and could exceed $600K this summer.

Well that happened quickly...   Housing market is going nuts and the updated home equity gave a decent boost along with market gains.  Next step 1M invested.

It seems like every month I post the same thing...this growth is crazy!  I thought we'd hit $1,000,000 about 5 years after we retired.  Now we are less than $8,000 away with two more months of contributions.  I keep thinking the growth is going to slow down (and I know it will and will even go backwards) but good grief.  We've gotten rich while we are waiting on that to happen.  All of a sudden I'm worried about too much money.  And THAT boys and girls, is crazy.

Officially joining:

Tracking net worth/ investments +cash.
Big jump was from a pension rollover landing in my IRA (I had no way to track the pension value before). 

Note: for the sake of convenience I only use the assets that are in my name on these tracking threads.
Another note: my table format keeps getting screwed up when I remove the quotes. Giving up on it for now.

Something weird to realize... we're probably in this race for good, barring a total collapse of the economy and real estate markets.

The increase from when I joined this thread in January to now has been pretty crazy to watch. Only $14,500 of it is contributions (including 401k match), the rest is market gains. If this keeps up, my investments will earn more than my salary this year.

Good market gains. Saved a bit over $13k on the month. If the market doesn’t move I should cross $1MM in August. Same month my first born is due.

I'll thank my $1000 dogecoin "investment" I made in January. Currently sits at $19,000. The swings on it have been wild and it's been fun to follow. Could very well see this number come down in the months ahead. Hopefully we'll keep pressing forward.

Yearly Corporation Tax bill this month of £22k which disguises what has been a great month for the investments!

Also start of new tax year in the UK so a chance to make use of the generous tax breaks such as £20k into ISAs and £40k into SIPPs.

Counting down the days now until we FIRE on 8th September with a target of £780k

TNW would be there, if I used the current value of my home.  But I like to keep that stated as less in my calculation to account for realtor fees, etc, were I to sell (not likely).  LNW is really the actual goal, anyway.  Still encouraging to know, technically, my net worth is there. :-)

I just hit the $500K mark last month (could not be more excited!) and so now am officially throwing down the gauntlet for $1M. My goal is to hit this by age 32 (I'm 28 at the moment). I'm not sure how I'll do it just yet, but I also didn't think I'd be at $500K by 28, so just gotta take the plunge!

Here's my net worth history:
* Dec 2014 (21): $554
* Dec 2015 (22): $32.2K (+31K)
* Dec 2016 (23): $100.7K (+68.5K)
* Dec 2017 (24): $149.6K (+48.9K)
* Dec 2018 (25): $208K (+58.4K)
* Dec 2019 (26): $264K (+56K)
* Dec 2020 (27): $424K (+160K)
* Current (28): ~$510K (as of May 2021)

Hi everyone! I joined this club a few months ago, and figured I'd post my numbers here with hopes it'll spur me on to save more. My numbers include investments and cash only. (In 2019 I didn't do a great job of tracking my investments, hence the zero's). I retired from the military in 2014 with less than six figures saved/invested, and I'm proud of myself for doubling down and saving as much as I have. Plus extremely grateful for a good paying job and a healthy stock market! Side note - I can't believe I figured out how to make this table! :)

Barry Manilow playing in the back ground,  "Looks like we made it....."   

Was wondering if we'd hang on after we popped out heads about $1 million by a few dollar on 4/1.  Glad to see the growth kept moving.  I guess I can post in the next group now, but still not sure if the cushion is enough that we are safely there.  I'd like to think with the great strides made in the economy we are, but investments are always unknown.  Still need a good amount to get to FIRE but this is a big step!  Thanks everyone for all the support on these forums.

Congrats @caracarn!  Well done.  Come on over to the next thread.  There are a few of us recent graduates holding on there by the skin of our teeth.  :)

Hi Guys!

This is my first post.  I'm hoping to reach $500k this year in investments but I'm already there in Net Worth.  My plan is to hit $1 Mil invested by 2025, so keeping fingers crossed. Glad to join this thread.
