I’m celebrating a panoply of milestones today. Three of them at once. It’s milestone of milestones posts.
Milestone 1: Over 142,598 in assets.
My assets totaled at the time of this writing are $146,204 to be more precise. This means I now have more in assets than I ever had in debt (-$142,598). This is a big psychological boost.
Milestone 2: Over $100k of debt paid off.
With latest payment, my debt balance is now $42,460. When I began this blog my total debt was $142,598. Can you believe it? Take that, debt!
Milestone 3: Over $100k networth
Woot! I’ve moved up from my flyweight status of near $0 or lower networth of the past few years. My networth recently crossed the $100k mark and has been hovering just a little above ever since. Any big drop in the markets will pull me under again in the short term, but the barrier has been broken. I am officially in the Featherweight category!
I’d hoped to have a fourth milestone to include, reaching the 30’s, but that will need to wait for a while longer…
Do you have any milestones coming up?
I know C @ TheSingleDollar does! Congrats, C!

POW! TAKE THAT, debt!
This is awesome, way to go!! I really like your net worth charts. When is your estimated debt free date? It seems like you are really kicking this debt!

Thank you. 🙂
I’m aiming for December 2019 for when I become debt free – likely December 31st. It will be down to the wire for sure.

Holy mackerel, that is AMAZING. Congratulations!
Do you realize you’ve moved the needle by almost a quarter million dollars? ($146,000 assets + $100,000 debt paid off = ~$250,000 change in circumstances.) You’re a freaking rock start, DD!

Congrats! Big change in the net worth in a short period of time. If you can do that with debt in play imagine what you can do when you are debt free.
