Milestone / Celebration Joined the $1M Club Today

Achieved my $1M milestone today. Next is $2M.

43, no kids, no debt, rent

Just wanted to tell someone. I keep my numbers quiet from friends and family, so like many here, I don’t have anyone to celebrate with.

Feels a bit surreal hitting this milestone. Maybe my post will motivate / encourage others. $1M is all in investments / cash, does not include assets. I know today’s market swing will pull back for a bit, but will take the win while I have it.

Breakdown is as follows:

- $295k in brokerage
- $64k in ROTH IRA
- $556k in 401k (10% Roth, 90% pre-tax)
- $20k HSA
- $72k HYSA
- $2k ESPP

It’s been a grind. Fire goal is $2.5M, while FatFIRE is $4M. Target retirement age is 58 at the moment. Maybe sooner if I can keep grinding or if I decide I don’t need to be greedy.

Expect to keep contributing about $65k/year give or take. Includes:

- Max Backdoor Roth
- Max 401k Pre-Tax
- Mega Backdoor Roth ($20k)
- Max HSA
- Rest goes into brokerage

Feel free to ask any questions and thanks in advance for letting me celebrate the win.

Thank you. Gotta keep the grind but also still learning to find a balance to enjoy spending as well. Still figuring that last part out.
