I always thought that it would be exciting getting to the 100k milestones. It is in a way , but I have to think as I become used to the up and down amounts of the stock market and the effects it has on my portfolio, it is more business as usual. I mean I look back 5 years ago and I admit my progress has been great. But I sold my condo and I got a lot of money. So that got me a long ways. I guess what I am trying to say is the closer I get to 500k, not there yet, the more it doesn't seem amazing to me at all. I expect it at some point in time , maybe even this year. I am not worried about that part. I am surprised at how fast things are progressing and how even though i know it is amazing, it really seems so normal. But its not. All I have to do is look at all the people around me who are paycheck to paycheck to know its kind of unusual to be where I am in life. I have hung around this forum and I still feel like the low man on the totem pole but it does not really matter. It feels so good to be here. Anyone else ever feel this way? Can anyone relate?
