OP said her networth is 1m, her assets are more than her debts, seems pretty awesome to me.

Assets of $1 million and a net worth of $1 million are 2 different things. OP claimed the latter.


It's pretty clear that the poster you are responding to understands that.

I secretly wish more people would announce this in real life. It gives me, as a 30 y/o, hope that it does happen to real people I know and I would love to pick their brains. Saving and investing are very foreign concepts in my family so I'm just reading and learning as much as I can now.
Kudos!


You can do this. My net worth was $195,000 when I was 30. Then I got married when I was 31 and the net worth took off The key is discipline and consistency, and not trying to time the market.


yes

Yup me too.

Congrats OP


I won't post specifics as you'll flame me, but I find no matter how much we save and how much we feel like we should be comfortable, there's always a nagging sense of unease. Like the market might crash, or our jobs might disappear, or someone might get sick. I think if you looked at our balance sheet you'd say I'm crazy, but I also think that unease helps motivate us to keep saving when maybe we could 'live a little'.


My husband is the same way. He has a fear of going broke even though our lives couldn't been more cush. Net worth of just over 7M and we're both not even 40 yet but he can't help but feel like we're spending too much. He's a complete rags to riches story so I understand but outsiders would think he's insane.

congrats OP. how old are you? DW and I are late 30s and are at ~600k (not counting home equity). I think we should hit 1m in the next couple of years. Can't wait!
