35yrs of life milestone
Bday is this weekend and I will be 35, I suppose that in itself is a milestone itself. Been reporting to SSI for 19yrs now since I was 15.
Milestone1: I'm alive
Milestone2: In those measly 19 years SSI reports $581,383 or avg salary of 30,600/yr
Milestone3: Investable assets closed over 100k for the second time this month so we are calling it a milestone reached to have 100k invested in this fickle and exciting market.
Milestone4: Residential RE equity has cleared 250k, own 80% of a Townhome and 10% of my home. Which leads me to a cool milestone...
Milestone5: I have a networth of $350k at 35, or 10k/every year I've been alive
How did I do this...
Well from 1997-2007 I was all cash, then from '07 to now I bought/sold/retained four properties and invested my 401k + MegaCo Match, and Roth when I could.
To be honest I've only actually had 48 sporadic contributing months where I put into the market... and I had some sporadic gifts along the way from family that I also shoved in during the past 7yrs. Not a lot about 20k.
which leads me to some obscure milestones:
Milestone6: blessed to be knowledgeable and not react to fear like some investors
Milestone7: Since I switched from carpentry to IT in '07 my avg salary per year has gone up to 63k/yr over the past 10yrs
Milestone8: I cleared 100k salary by 35
Milestone9: albeit a bit late, tnx to ER.org I discovered that being in 80% BONDS during the '09 market recovery is bad unless I am about to die,
Milestone10: I've lived in 7 different cities, travelled to 9 different countries and over 20islands and countless cities, closed 6 Real Estate deals, including 2 commercial txn
Milestone11: Created a little tax deduction
Future Milestones:
Future1: ER via FIRE by 50 with over 2MIL and 3 RE
Future2: Buy another RE perhaps @Senator will be MN nice and entertain a cash offer from me for something in his portfolio...I live in Twin Cities and it may make a lot of sense
Future3: Have more little tax deductions, while maintaining LBYM w/o sacrificing QOL and investing wisely but aggressively in US markets.
