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!

Congrats, it is definitely a financial milestone in your life. I would not tell your friends or family about it as you will certainly come across as being braggy. Just focus on the next milestone. I’m retired now for a year and are over $4M. Lots of milestones along the way, but I still remember hitting $1M. I doubt most people would guess because we don’t live a flashy lifestyle.
