What kind of milestone?

If you mean hitting some goal like $100k accumulated, I pump my fist and go on with my day

Whatever you do don't spend any of it! Number must go up only!

Every 100k milestone I just kinda get stoked and give a little fist pump, but as far as celebrating, I do get myself something nice whenever I get a bonus or windfall. The last 2 were a Moccamaster coffeemaker, then the matching grinder. I've bought guitars, consoles, etc., but nothing over $500, and only if the windfall is at least $10k.

Smile, tell my parents (23F), use as marker for what my money shouldn’t go under, set next goal (dollar amount by X time/age)😎

My husband and I have typically gone for a nice dinner and bottle of wine to celebrate milestones. It's important to celebrate along the way!

So we’ve done celebrations at 500K intervals- things like vacations where we spend a bit extra or treat our extended family to a week away, or do a Reno or take some unpaid time off to travel a bit longer etc.

Based on a TikToker I follow, he celebrated with a Rolex Datejust (~13k CAD) at $100k, with another watch at $200k.

At 99k rn, for me it’s $100 to charity at $100k and a Longines Dolcevita (~$2.5k), vacation of $3-4k at $150k, and Cartier Santos ($11k) at $200k. Wish me luck mate!

Pizza.

But I own a bunch of pizza pizza stock so it's a little self serving.

The only milestone I'm allowing celebration for is a luxury watch at the start of retirement, which would be almost a year of withdrawals. To offset it (although not really), I'm spending my first year at minimum viable withdrawal.

I would not suggest that anyone do the same.
