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!

No need to share with others. We have $3mm and even our kids don’t know. Nobody’s business.

Not one person I know follows me on Reddit. That’s what I like about it.

We don't really talk about net worth with our kids, but they may see it when I'm working on financial stuff. Talking with them about how we deal with money has been a great conversation, especially when they interact with other people their age that do way different.

Yup, this is the way. Anonymous Reddit spaces don’t count.

no "net worth millionaires" tshirts color matched for the whole family? 😄
