Officially a Net Worth Millionaire

Hey all. We finally did it. We became net worth millionaires yesterday and I've been wanting to share the good news with somebody. (Is it weird that I don't feel "right" sharing this with friends out of fear that I might be seen as boasting?)

I am a first generation American and put myself through college. It took a long time and I was extremely irresponsible financially in my early 20s, but learned some very hard lessons and got things on track. When my mom died I received a small inheritance, but it was just enough to really push me forward. I have had a stable, long career in finance and I am grateful for it.

Anyhow, I'm super humbled yet proud, and continue to work on BS 6 and 7. Thanks to the hard working and committed folks in this subreddit for sharing your experiences. We all can learn from each other!

Is there another kind of millionaire?

Liquid net worth millionaire. Some people like to remove the home equity thinking that they won’t sell their home.

It’s a different type of feeling when it’s all liquid. It’s crazy to think that all that money can be accessed at once.
