Note: I pulled these numbers before “Liberation Day,” so I’m sure they’re much lower now.
I’m going to do 5 more of these updates, and then let them go. So after this one, 4 more — and end it one year after the date I originally set, which was August 2024.
Instead, we’ll end in August 2025. Not bad, considering the current state of the world and atrocious stock market.

So did I do it? Did I reach my goal? Not quite yet. But I have enough on the way that it’s inevitable. I feel secure, like I will have enough and so will the kids.
And while losing a job or income source would sting, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. When I account for the things that are happening, my net worth is comfortably over $500,000, which was the goal all along. So while I’m not wanting to count the chicks before they hatch, there’s enough that it will all work out and all be OK.
All that to say, I’m marking the goal as “COMPLETE” in August 2025… and will update again when I hit $1M.
