Amazing job! 1.5M is my next target. At 3M you have enough to do just about everything and never have to worry (small asterisk on this of course). Now you can focus pretty much entirely on every other aspect of life. Big congrats.

I don't think I have a specific question for y'all, but perhaps just some general life advice could be appreciated. This time last year I reached that magic 1M number (I sacrificed my 20's to do this, I'm now 34). Now 1 year later, I am at 1.250M (all stocks), so when adding my expenses (and...

That's a satisfying level of confidence! Nice milestone :)

It sure does! As I just observed for myself that what took me many years before, now I see in a matter of months! :o

Just hit 1.1M I just hit 1.1M last night. Incredible to have gone up another 100K in a little over 4 months since I hit the magic 1.0M late last year. And I'm not even making any active income right now! I can say that my first 100K took me 22 years! Now it took me just 4 months?! And...

Well like others have said, markets brought me back down, and up again, so I have now reached the 1M mark for the second time already :laugh:

To answer both questions: I started with nothing and paid my own way through university. Graduated during that awful Great Recession of 2009 (worst year to graduate in a very long time! >:(). But I eventually became a specialist engineer that would be sent to various remote (and dangerous!)...

If you went from 200K to 300K, but could have had 400K, that STILL would have been reason to be happy. The majority of the population would be quite happy to go up 100K in 5 years. Now when you are talking about 3M versus 4M, how much of a difference will that truly make in your life? At more...

I'm not sure what is meant by "registering" or getting a "2 comma button"? :tongue:

Thank you everyone! :angel: I treated myself to a nice dinner this evening. And going forward I think I am no longer going to buy the cheap brand of toilet paper anymore :laugh: The next large goal I think will be upgrading to a larger apartment. I have a good deal on my 1 bedroom, but I...

I just needed to share this, as I am feeling quite emotional :frown: I finally did it. My net worth reached 1 Million. The magic symbolic number. $1,003,000 to be precise. As of this morning, at the age of 33, I am, officially, a MILLIONAIRE! :clap: It took SO much work, and SO many...

Hi @MarieL :greetings10:, I wish I had spotted this thread sooner as I might fall into (or close to) your description. I'm 33 and just hit 900k NW. So I'm either "Lean FIRE" or "Barista FIRE", meaning my expenses are ~30k/year, FIRECalc gives me a 100% success rating, and I might continue...

Congrats to everyone's various bits of good news in the last while! ;D I just hit a small milestone myself: as of today my NW just hit 900k for the first time (with TFSA just under 140k), it's not the BIG ONE, but FIRECalc reports 100% success rate! :dance: An additional odd side to this...

Well I have a positive update: my NW just hit 900K for the first time yesterday (with TFSA just under 140k). It's not the BIG ONE, and it could very well drop again with this whole Apocalypse thing we're still experiencing. But it still feels quite nice :angel:, and FIRECalc gives me a 100%...

I've been staying the course and just re-balancing a bit from my least-affected holdings to my most-affected holdings. Should give me some minor gains in the long run.
