[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m single, 41, net worth around $800K including home equity.  I’ve always been obsessed with money but, until recently, never as good at making it as some of you here.

I should hit a $1 million net worth in about two years just through savings, or maybe in three years if the market goes down further.  I’ve always viewed $1 million as a magical number. Obviously with inflation, the value of that number comes down each year, but it still seems pretty special.

Just curious to hear from all you rich people:  how does life change once you get to the promised land?  Do you feel a sense of relief and accomplishment? [b] Or is it anti-climactic and just another milestone and you get back to work?[/b][/quote]

Sorry to say, but for me it was the latter. But I never was that obsessed with money.  It was more like, huh, past that amount. When I was little I thought a millionaire meant someone wearing a monocle and a top hat and having so much money it spilled out of their pants, but in reality it was like just a brief slightly shinier feeling towards a number in the Excel file (not to mention that when the market went down soon after it went below 1m again).[/quote]
