Just thought I’d share an update on our progress - my DW and I just surpassed 1MM net worth (primary residence included).

Congrats! Very impressive

I plan on retiring 2033, but I’m up for the challenge! At least become FI by 2030! Excited to get the extra motivation from this group!

Update, DW and I just passed the 600k mark! Looking to lower expenses and increase our savings rate even more!

Nice work Steve! I’m not sure if this was covered already, but you may want to set up an emergency fund (3-6 months expenses) to avoid tapping into your investments if something unexpected happens.

Quick update, due to market gains and a steady savings rate DW and I just surpassed the 500k threshold in cash/assets! Thank you all for the great advise and motivational comments, I’ve gained so much since I’ve joined!

Thanks RockLife! Do you think I should sell the majority of my positions and stay in cash while we wait for a correction?

DW and I just passed the 450k mark since our last post 3 months ago. That's an increase of 50k! I'm getting pumped! Let's keep this going!

My wife and I work & live in the Bay Area and we have a similar housing dilemma. We both work FT and our combined income is 300k+. Pay 3k for a one bedroom apt and get killed with income tax or buy a 1mm+ home. We can't decide if its better to buy or rent. It feels like a bit of a bubble...

DW and I just hit 400k. 9 months ago our net worth was 300k, so with a couple of salary increases and the market gains we've been able to average a save rate of 11k per month over that time period. Hopefully we can keep this pace up!

Just surpassed 200k today! DW and I had a late start (me-31, DW-30) but we've come a long way since we first got married 4 1/2 years ago being about 60k in debt. Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum
