I love reading all the milestones and admire everyone's efforts! We are currently 40, here are some of the milestones we've celebrated and hopefully there will be more to add in the future.
$40,000 in investments at age 25
$1m in investments at 34
Paid off mortgage early on new construction home at 37
$2m in investments at 39
$2.2m in investments currently
In 2012, we added $180,000 to our investments -- a new best surpassing $177 in 2011. In the last 9 years we’ve averaged adding $117k to our investments.
I remember thinking back when we had just $10k invested, that someday when it hit $1m, I would buy a sports car, but we actually went out for a $30 dinner and glass of wine at our favorite spot. Then I thought, "boy if we hit $2m, I'll really splurge." We went back to favorite spot, might have had more than one glass of wine
Keep plugging away everyone!
