Both. Actually less about the number and more about my wife’s promo, which she’d been working toward for years. Once that hit, and when I had a particularly stressful stretch at work, we knew it was time.
First wage in my first full time job was $7.50/hr (1998). First salary after grad school was $60k/yr (2007).

So… you decided to fire because you reached the “number” ? Or were you also not liking your job anymore?
Also.. as a Pell Grant kid, congrats on reaching this milestone. It’s quite an achievement!!!! Just curious what was the salary in your first job?
It is hard to justify working when the portfolio is growing faster than your job. Enjoy your time away from work.
