It's not really a fair question for me. I was lucky enough to just have some stock vest, so as of close prices yesterday I was up to $5.4M. Bonus will pay out in the next few days, too. So that'll help

It's true that equities are generally down YTD but when I compare to this time last year, I'm doing quite well. In any case, PMs and my Megacorp stock have more than made up for my "losses" so far this year. YMMV

I am doing ok. More bummed about the state of country and the world. Makes it hard some days to be positive on the net worth progression. Although also recognize that that is a privileged place to be in to not worry about my net worth.

I guess it depends on your point of view. Frankly I'm amazed at the economy, for instance.

Focus on what you can change and not what you can’t. Putting too much of your self content and happiness on things out of your control just ends poorly. Bad things have happened forever and will continue forever. How you deal with it matters. We all only have one shot at life and I am making the best of it.

You got that right!!! A good book to read on that positive attitude is "Let Them".

When my son was about 9 years old, I read a couple of books about stoicism to him for the same reason.

I remember writing "meh at one million" ten years ago, about how anticlimactic it felt to hit that milestone. Crossed 5M NW this week and that definitely felt more exciting. Thank you early-retirement.org I think I'd have half of that without you.

Heh, heh, glad we could help!

Seriously, congratulations on a significant milestone. That's a very nice, round number.

Congratulations, very impressive. As you´ve mentioned, 7M might be the trigger, so you should start to plan what you´ll do in <6 months from now

Hah, told you!
