Mortgage paid off!! :dance: Just excited to share that I paid my last check to the mortgage company this past week. I know we see a ton of people that make this same post, but I think we are all excited when we get to. 38 years old and a huge chunk of debt removed. I'm sure there was plenty...

Hey Manny... Congrats on having such a great nest egg at your age. I shall give you my goals as I am 35 as well with a relatively high family income as well, but not quite what you guys have. Age: 35, 35 Jobs: full time physician, 2/3 time physician (DW) Household income: mid 6 figures Tax...

THIS is great advice. Everyone on this board wants to help out and provide support, but relationship advice from us probably isn't warranted. I will say, all of the financial stuff you have been offered is excellent. We truly do hope everything works out for you. Good luck.

MAN o Man...why do I live in Baltimore?? I would die for either of these houses...and they would both be considerably LESS than I paid for my not-nearly-as-nice pad here. Others have mentioned it in previous posts, and maybe you answered it and I missed it, but your future plans regarding...

I feel your pain, my man! I love my job, my life and my family, but I am in the same boat as you as far as being obsessed....and I have about 20 years to wait!!! Maybe I'll go back to the very first post on ER.org and begin there.

This is a fun post. Great reading other people's successes and goals. It is all so encouraging. Let's all keep at it!! Milestones: 2010: ditched terrible FA from Morgan Stanley (the was made possible by reading this site and Bogleheads. Thank goodness for these sites!!:coolsmiley: End of...

I'm a relative neophyte to this board and even I know that this is a big move for a very conservative investor. Well done! Hope it works out very well for you. Great idea to start with small portion of the portfolio so you can test the waters. They seem very warm at this point :blush:

Sure did....crazy that they actually met in the football movie, Rudy!

Holy Cow!! Way to go....you are tearing it up in the taxable account, for sure. Adding 100k every 6 months is HUGE (actually, beyond huge)!! Having the mortgage paid and the kids education out of the way is really helping you throw the funds towards retirement. Well done! I hope to be in...

Cool thread, indeed....hope it gets rediscovered in 5 years so we can all see how we did. For me.... 1) DW and I will be 40. Kids will be 8 and 7. 2) If all goes according to plan, I will still be working for the same group, at the same hospital. 3) Ravens will hopefully have won another...

Welcome and good luck with the planning. You should find a great deal of help on this site as you progress towards FIRE. Enjoy the ride! GD

Thanks for the kind words....sounds like you have a good FA as well. I imagine when I take over my own accounts, I will just contribute and reinvest dividends, etc.....but will have to do as you did and get a fee-only advisor to help me with the withdrawing phase when we hit retirement. Hope I...

Good luck with your plans! Looks like you guys have a nice nest egg from which to keep growing. Hope you get a kid or 2 (or 3) to your school. That would be HUGE!!!

Great that you got your ship righted in time to start saving again after a turbulent couple of decades. Salute you for your service! Hope all works out for you and the wifey. 20 years is a nice long time to build up a sweet nest egg! GD

Awesome work! 2 comma club AND mortgage paid off. You should be celebrating, my friend! I look forward to that day....one more club (RE) and you've hit the trifecta! Good on ya, mate. GD
