You are on your way! It is amazing how the past 7-8 years this market has benefited folks that avoid the temptation to sell when "bad news" hits.
Feel free to tell me to pound sand, but what sort of industry / job areas you guys are in that support such a dramatic compensation increase?

It’s crazy how much the market and salaries compound when things are going well. We’re now up to $3.9M in net assets, and $1M in compensation (stock run up + wife got a new job w/ a 50% comp increase). At our current savings rate we have a lot of options: we could probably retire now on $100k, we could retire in 3 years on $150k/year, or retire in 2030 w/ $10M+. It feels good to have a bunch of hard work, thoughtful planning, and luck pay off.
