After decades of trying to reach this goal, $1,000,000+ was attained in 2024.

I ended 2024 with a total account balance of $1,083,631 and now working towards the 1.5 million goal.

I understand some have a lot more and some have a lot less. I grew this investing regularly in my 20's, 30's, 40's and now into my 50's, it was far from getting rich quick.

My spouse and her salary has helped tremendously in reaching this goal, as she made about 10% more than I did last year. We try to keep our cost of living low (have no debt), we net about $8000/m total combined salary and currently add $400-$600/w to our investment accounts.

For those just starting out, keep investing on a regular basis and let compounding do what it does.
