Long-time lurker. I know there's been threads about this but just curious how long it took everyone to get to milestones along the way. 1 million? 2 million? then 3 million? then 4 million? and more?
Looking at my finances, I hit 1/2 million savings in 3Q 2010 (10+ years) and then a million in 3Q 2016 so 6 years. Then hit 1.5m in 3Q 2019 so just 3 years and now at 1.6m at year-end. I save about 12-15% of my income that goes into an all-stock market mutual fund so decent savings but not great. I am just amazed at how it continues to grow so consistently. Sometimes up and sometimes down but eventually it always has been going up. Just wanted to know the growth pattern that everyone has had to get to their magic number.
