| No inheritance or handouts. $1m is in liquid assets; 700k in house equity. I panicked or stressed about money for years. I still will, but I am taking a moment to feel good!!!! |
| Congratulations! 🎉 |
| Congrats! That is impressive |
| It's not even 2. And when you consider inflation... |
| Congratulations! We are right behind you at 1.54M with 370k in house. No inheritance here either. |
|
Congratulations!!
Ignore the mean trolls. |
| I’m at 1.6! |
| OP, how old are you? |
|
Bravo/a!
I'm sure many on here are thinking "I couldn't live on that for a month" -- ignore them! You're doing great. Keep it up. Celebrate! |
| Congratulations! |
| Way to go! |
| Is that just for 1 person or do you have to split that with spouse? |
|
How long did it take and how much was the growth versus what you and/or employer put in?
While I'm not there yet, I'm enjoying the journey. I also stopped working for money which was doable and more important to me than hitting a million. Congratulations. |
| Congratulations OP! The first M is the hardest. Prepare to be amazed by compounding interest. |
So…you’re pretty average for the DC area. Congrats, I guess? |
