Hello! I've been lurking for a few years and am glad to have found a group of folks interested in LBYM and FI!
I was born into generational wealth (not enough that you'd have heard of my family though!). Fortunately, my family is classic Millionaire Next Door, so although I was made aware of my 6 figure investment account in my 20s, my first thought was 'if I'm careful, that could one day be a 7 figure account!'
About a decade later I inherited a 7 figure portfolio. I was surprised, but was so thankful that the earlier generation gave me this gift, that I knew I'd want to do the same for my (not yet existent) children.
Now that my kids do exist, I'm still building the portfolio by spending less than the income it generates. And I'm keeping my day j*b to keep me involved in the world and a chance for conversations with grown ups!
It's funny to type this all out, as I'm so quiet about this IRL. But this forum has been such a great help since I found it, and I'm ready to add my voice.
