Net worth Milestone
I, 35, and my wife, 31, hit a milestone on friday. After about 10 years we have finished our journey to a million dollars net worth. Starting out we had -112,000 in debt mostly through student loans and a car loan. We both started down this journey first working off the student loans, getting smarter about our car purchases, and then investing intentionally. We both got lucky and have had our careers take off, even with 2 layoffs throughout the years.
We bought a house 4 years ago and had a son in the last year. We are still able to stay on our journey with some significant short term changes.
We arent stopping here with some goals around buying a larger house and upgrading the commuter car in the next 5 years and having the opportunity to retire at 60.
We arent going around telling people but it seems nice to take a victory lap on the internet.
