[quote=Anonymous]This morning, when I did my monthly check-in on finances, our net worth surpassed $1 million! 20 years ago, I was flat broke - literally no money in the bank, no car, and about $12K in debt with student loans. Since then, I have steadily worked and my income has increased from about $30K/year to $120K/year, I got married and we had three kids, and now at 46 and 45 years old, my DH and I are maybe millionaires (I might be 'cheating' with the net worth as it includes about $180K in college savings and $195K in home equity.). I know that this is nothing compared to lots of DCUMers, but it feels like a real accomplishment, especially since my husband only started working last year, so we have accumulated almost all of it on a single salary. So do we celebrate with some kind of splurge? A nice weekend away? A luxury purchase? At the very least, our family is going out to a nice dinner tonight![/quote]
