Reached another milestone!

This is my first post, but I gotta share the news since I'm so excited at reaching my milestone of $400,000 net worth.
For some strange reason, it's taken a longer time than I would have thought to get the last 100K...

Anyways, with a final goal of $2 million by 55, I've still got a long ways to go. But I'm still only 32 so I should have some time yet to let compounding to it's thing.
Wife's not going back to work though with one 2 yr old boy and another on the way...

Congratulations! Both on meeting the net worth milestone and the soon to be new baby.


We were still in the negative for net worth at 32.

Congrats, that's a great milestone. Even if you stopped contributing at this point, barring some major catastrophe you should be able to hit the $2 mil mark by 55 without too much trouble.

Assuming that he can achieve average annual investment returns (net of inflation) of, say, 6% p.a., I believe you're right.
