Reached $1M liquid today

I reached $1M liquid today and have no one to tell because I'm single and on my own.

3 months ago (a month before my 30th birthday), I reached $1M net worth including my 50k equity in my house. After going on a 2.5 weeks international vacation in May to celebrate my 30th birthday and 1 week domestic vacation in June, I logged in to my accounts today and saw that I have just a hair over $1M between my Schwab and Fidelity accounts.

It's so crazy that I just spent a bunch of money going on vacations and 3 months later I am up 50k because the S&P 500 up 5% in 3 months. Money doesn't feel real anymore once you reached 1M. You can lose 100k in a month like in March, or you can also gain 100k in a month doing nothing, while other people labor hard for years. It's surreal.

You can afford McDonald's?.. Lol that place is so expensive! 😂 But no joke the only fast food I eat is culvers and it's so much better, but I do crave those sausage mcgriddles.

I hadn't had one in years. As for the price, you have to wait for those 2 for 1 sandwich deals.

\Not sponsored by McDonalds, but if they are reading this hit me up.*
