Just curious, why did you set up the speadsheet to track since January and not since $500k? I think it would much more interesting to see and compare full progress.

August 2021 - Just hit $750k in investments… 3/4 of the way to 7 figures!

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!’)

Didn’t make the sheet, but I’m sure it can be edited to do so.

(tracking retirement accounts, cash accounts and conservative equity in my rental properties and side businesses)

12/2014    $32,000
12/2016    $64,000 (24 months)
1/2018      $128,000 (25 months)
5/2019      $256,000 (16 months)
11/2020  $512,000 (19 months)
[12/2022 $1,024,000 (24 months)] **TARGET**
--
11/1/2020 $506,667.23
12/1/2020 $552,641.05 (tons of market gains...sustainable/real?)
1/1/2021   $574,330.90 (very excited for the next couple of months...bonus, raises, 401K match all hit!!!)
2/1/2021   $637,442.01
3/1/2021   $730,728.94 (still waiting on that 401k match/employer-side contribution to hit for another 38k)
4/1/2021   $781,201.54 (fun part of the year is over...back to normal growth mode)
5/1/2021   $795,754.30
6/1/2021   $880,912.54 (3 rental properties reappraised for refinance is about 50k of this increase)
7/1/2021   $920,541.74 - realizing I could graduate a whole year early!!!
8/1/2021   $893,351.71 - slippage due to taking some cash out during the mid-july market dip to fund a commercial property investment.  Poorly timed, though not a market timing move.  Onward
9/1/2021   $918,857.20

This is getting to the point of absurdity. Putting in $9k a month and seeing $10k - 20k a month in growth and returns. At this *unsustainable* growth level I'd hit $1MM in 8 months. Unbelievable.

So this past month has emotionally wrecked me.  I found out my cat had carcinomatosis at only 6 years old and only a few days after this determination I had to put her down.  She had been the only consistency for me for the past 5 years as I have lived in 3 different locations and deployed and she was a perfect fit and the sweetest cat in the world.  I also found out that I didn't make board for my next advancement this past year, so overall a crappy month.

So sorry to hear about your cat.  4 years ago my cat was diagnosed with Lymphoma and despite my best efforts with chemo and hospitalization, he died within a month just before he turned 5 years.  That sweet boy was supposed to be with me for another decade at least.

Congratulations, @pharmmm and @FIreDrill and @Engineer93 !!!

Getting close, @2Birds1Stone , @salt cured , and @afuera !

@salt cured  Hmm, I guess we could have used month 0, 1, 2, etc. since 500k instead, but I find that a bit more confusing than date-driven esp with the formulas - they take into account the current date

@Jaayse , sorry about your cat :(

_________________________________________
Up 4.2% or $26,724.45 last month to $660,986.74 ! Pretty crazy, my barebones FI number has been $650k, which makes about $15/hr at 4%. Woohoo! Just under 11 years of work!

Could just add a few years back and keep the formulas the same? Maybe today +\- 5 years will cover the majority.

Would be neat to see the data both ways really one by date as it is currently and the other where everyone has an origin at month 1 = 500k @ 0,0, with months in race on x axis.

I just wanted to come here and say that yesterday I reached $900k. It makes me irrationally happy, because it's not even a real milestone, and I'm going to go back under today, but I had to tell someone. I know you guys understand 😁

Thanks :) It's not going to hold today, but I don't care, I got to write it down anyway.

Give it a bit and you'll be saying hi in the next thread soon 😎

First time documenting the monthly change. I updated the spreadsheet too. Part of me likes tracking this but part of me wants to just set it and forget it. I'm 8 years away but I can't stop thinking of FI now, checking markets etc. I need to just live life and forget this for the next 8 years.
