DW and I crossed the 1M mark in our 401ks! Thanks to you all for the excellent advice and guidance. I'm sure we'll zig zag around that milestone a few times I'm averse to debt, so have been paying mortgage aggressively but without compromising 401k and backdoor Roth contributions (ever since I learned about them). Also, at this time I have 2x yearly expenses, mainly in iBonds. I have around 64k mortgage left on a 525K house. However, what this means is that other than the iBonds, and Roth (~70K) I don't have much (only 10K at this time) in my taxable. Would that worry you? I'm 45, DW 43, one child 10 yrs (90k in 529 separate and not counted with other assets).
I also have the ability to do mega backdoor Roth... but lack of taxable bothers me sometimes. Thoughts?

Last week eliminated all individual securities except for my employer stock, which I intend to keep below 5% of portfolio. The transformation to passive total market investor focusing on tax concerns and asset allocation over stock-picking is a welcome one!

Re: Post your Financial Milestone Announcements Here
Mine is simple but one each of you had to complete in the past!
I have just discovered the Bogleheads.org forum and have dove into the culture with both feet. Waiting on my transfer from Edward Jones to complete and starting my investing journey with a completely new outlook at my financial future.
The conversations I had with my wife after reading "Boglesheads Guide to Investing" followed by "Little Book of Common Sense Investing" followed by "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" has changed our strategy and outlook. I can't express my thanks for everyone on this forum and can't believe it took me to my early 30's to really get a handle on my future.

Re: Post your Financial Milestone Announcements Here
DW and I started investing together shortly after we married in 2007. With a VG relationship in place, push to drive out debt and increase emergency funds, and a penchant for frugality, we have done well by our own standards since then. Another milestone this past year to celebrate.
By far the best milestone for our family has been my DW retiring in 2017 in her early 40s. This has been such a huge blessing to have her at home, serving in our church and community, entertaining, and just being there for me and our neighbors. So lucky to have her and thankful that we can live on my salary alone. This is largely possible due to application of learnings from the Boglehead Community and the book Millionaire Next Door. I hasten to add that my DW is a frugality champ.

My wife and I just came back from our two week vacation in northern Europe, visited the Netherland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
There are 5 currencies involved. For the first time in my life, I never bothered to understand the exact exchange rates, just charge everything to my credit cards.

Re: Post your Financial Milestone Announcements Here
As long as there is no foreign transaction fee, credit cards give you the best exchange rates. I guess the point of your post is that you don't worry about small stuffs such as exchange rates on a vacation. Congratulations on achieving this.flyingaway wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 5:26 am My wife and I just came back from our two week vacation in northern Europe, visited the Netherland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

Yes, exactly. We used to converting the local money back to the U.S. dollars to be sure how much we were paying. Not any more.

Cracked the $250K+ net worth and $100K+ in our retirement accounts recently.
"Munger has said that accumulating the first $100,000 from a standing start, with no seed money, is the most difficult part of building wealth. Making the first million was the next big hurdle. To do that a person must consistently underspend his income. Getting wealthy, he explains, is like rolling a snowball. It helps to start on top of a long hill—start early and try to roll that snowball for a very long time. It helps to live a long life."

What bugs me is one day mine has 2 commas and the next one comma. Today its back to two commas. There literally is no one appropriate to discuss it with since probably no good could come from it. My account is half tax deferred but I celebrate anyway. Mine excludes house also so next milestone is 2 with house then without. At 56, I'm embarking on my first big discretionary expense, a $1750 a month getaway, 6 month lease test, will see if the world ends.
Regards.

Re: Post your Financial Milestone Announcements Here
Thanks Grt2bOutdoors. I would've started sooner but didn't have much in 1998 coming out of college and grad school a few years later. Until you read a book like the TMND, it can be difficult to visualize financial independence. That was a huge turning point for us.Grt2bOutdoors wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2019 7:16 pm That was one of the best times to start your investing - you started out high, fell low, onto higher highs.

Re: Post your Financial Milestone Announcements Here
Just reached the 2MM milestone with a paid off house. Not bad for a woman who grew up with only one pair of shoes at a time. Put myself through college with the help of financial aid, grants, and scholarships. Lived beneath my means while still vacationing and enjoying life - scuba diving and other travel. Work is winding down with a lay-off likely next year when I'm 62. Last weekend my BF called me "wealthy". I think of myself as "comfortable". Thanks to the Bogleheads for helping me optimize and organize my financial life. Wish I'd found this community sooner!

Congratulations, mine hit this summer and then below then above again, great job. Now its back to the boring compound interest curve. I'm still not really sure what it means, there's a certain void behind many met goals, a nice problem to have to allow the Lord to fill with new ones.fortfun wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 7:30 pm With last month's automatic contributions, DW and I just reached 7 figures!
