Just realized we surpassed the 1 million dollar mark! Feels good to finally reach this milestone!
My (39F) 401k: $686k
Spouse (40M) 401k: $247k
Brokerage Acct: $86k
Roth IRAs (both): $44k
Cash (HYSA e-fund): $30k
Total $1,093,000!
We also have about $250k equity in the house but we were not including it for the milestone. We got here the boring way, mostly VTSAX in our brokerage, just investing from our paychecks into the 401ks etc. Our retirement goal age is 50 years old, so far looking good! For reference, I am a geophysicist and made $193k last year, hubby is a Physical Therapist Assistant making around $75k. I starting investing at 22 years old and bought a house at 24 years old renting out the other bedrooms to help pay the mortgage. My husband starting working and thus investing at about 30 years old (he was a musician prior).
Sometimes its hard to feel like your making progress when in the "boring middle" but seeing this milestone really helps keep motivated!
Hit over $1million in investments!
