Does it feel as good as membership in the Mile High Club? Sadly, I will probably never know. But I am feeling miles high right now!
Back in the late Spring I stopped tracking my investments. According to my estimates, I wouldn't hit the milestone until early next year. Most of my saving takes place in Q1. There were a lot of big and unexpected expenses this Summer so I just kept my head down and lived life.
This morning I decided to take a peek at how things were going. I was astonished to see seven figures in the total. Holy crapballs a million is a lot of money. It is and it isn't. It is ..it isn't. Well it has taken me a long time, with lots of twists and turns and mistakes, and I am in my late fifties so am hardly a wunderkind as many of you are. But for me, this is darn sweet. I'm sort of FI, not yet able to support my current lifestyle, but could sell the house and manage to survive as long as some form of the ACA is available. It is a huge relief.
I have to share it with someone so thank you for reading. I can't tell anyone in RL about my accomplishment.
