Wanted to anonymously celebrate a recent financial milestone with a bunch of like-minded folks here on the board...as of this morning, we are officially half-millionaires! It has taken us almost 10 years to reach this particular milestone, but we've been able to do it on a single income and with several kids in tow. Just a single data point on the way to early retirement, but it's nice to see the numbers steadily increasing. Definitely hoping that 2013 is as kind to our net worth as 2012 was!
