Had $780K liquid assets end of Dec. 2017. Now Aug. 2018 - have $860K in liquid assets .. ontrack to hitting $900K+ in liquid assets by year end 2018. Looking to FIRE in 3 years with zero debt and above $1 million in liquid assets, here in the low cost southern state. No kids and no plans to leave anything to anyone when I croak.

Looking good ! I'm 54.5 and looking at 57.5 yrs age to retire, but I think I can also make it by 57 if the market continues to do even just an average of 7% - 8%

Fidelity just opened a 0 minimum, no fee total market index (FZROX). It will be managed by the same company that manages FSTMX (Fidelity® Total Market Index Fund Investor Class) which pulls 3 Yrs - 12.12%, 5 Yrs, +12.71%, 10 Yrs - +10.67%. Not sexy or exiting but it will get the job done.

Household networth crossed that first arbitrary multi-comma value. 87% in liquid assets. Celebrating with sloppy joes, tator tots, and boxed wine. Shooting for FIRE at 2030 at 45

Not me, but a friend of mine in their late 30s gave notice at megacorp. Going to spend their days in nature and figure out their next move. Whatever that move is, it can be anything (or nothing), this person is all set from LBYM and tucking away most everything in savings. I'm very envious but also happy for them!

Signed up for SS Survivor Benefits today. Went well on the phone, had to go to the local office to show them my marriage certificate. Could have mailed in but wanted to get everything complete and verified. Hour wait and a 2 minute meet with a nice federal clerk.

All good, in my opinion you should just forget about counting any residential equity and focus solely on investment principal. Which means you will be a real millionaire soon as long as the market holds.

Love this thread! It’s nice to see a lot of people winning on stocks. I’m one of the other 50% on the losing side. Despite that I reached my goal of equilibrium. 17 years of school,, 17 years of work, and 17 years of retirement last September. My new goal now a year in is to be retired 50 years. Mainly was able to retire at 34 by buying trailer parks and apartments then selling them carrying the notes.
Time and people are the most valuable things in life.

Nice Job. No worries. Enjoy your work by finding and focusing on the best parts of it no matter how small. Be prepared for (as you have worked towards so far) turns in life. So, if you need to work longer - it's no big deal. You've obviously worked hard and add value. If things out of your control turn sideways, you will strike a deal that works for you! Congrats. I'm in similar situation and things did turn sideways... all good.
