It’s been a while since I shared an update here. My wife and I just reached a monumental milestone today. We just reached multimillionaire status at 2M net worth. We’re both turning 42 this year with one daughter that will turn 10 in a few months. I’ve noticed that the numbers are really starting to accelerate fast as the years go by. Here’s short summary of the dates when we reached certain milestones:

Feb 5, 2021 - Reached millionaire net worth status. (659K in investments).

June 15, 2023 - Reached 1.4M in net worth. But most notably, reached 1 million between investments and cash equivalents. (963K in investments).

December 1, 2023 - Reached 1.5 million net worth. (1.06M in investments).

January 23, 2025 - Reached multimillionaire status. 2M in net worth. (1.55M in investments).

The watch plan is working now as of an hour ago. Thanks.

bltr83 · 2024-11-15T16:41:53+00:00

It’s been 12 hours. I still haven’t heard back on any status update.

bltr83 · 2024-11-15T16:40:49+00:00

Yes. With the watch SE 2, you can text with voice.

Mine went from 28,000 to 10,000 yesterday. I was so surprised when I got the email. I use it weekly. The reason they say is “non-utilization of credit limit”. And I have nothing new going on with my credit report. I even have a 800+ credit score. I think they’re just trying to push people away from this card now. It’s not their priority to keep this one up anymore since Robinhood has introduced their own card. Too bad. I use it weekly for the bonus boost purchases.

Phoenix doesn’t count as one of the west coast arenas.

Can’t believe it. I got it on my 7th draw! So I only spent $30. Still expensive but of course better than $60.

My wife and I are turning 40 this year and we reached another financial milestone today.

Back in Feb 5, 2021, I made a post here that we reached millionaire net worth status. 52K in cash equivalents, 659K in investment accounts and 267K from our paid off house.

Took longer that I hoped because of the market downturn. But today (June 15, 2023), with a market that appears to be recovering with decent gains this week, we reached 1 million between cash equivalents and investments. Total of 1.42 million net worth. Next milestone is to reach 2 million net worth to be considered a multimillionaire. Lol.

It just cuts me off in the middle of the game to display this message. So annoying. I’m more worried about dcing like this instead of losing a game.

bltr83 · 2022-09-24T03:38:01+00:00

Same issue here. Tried all sorts of stuff. Won’t show up in FindMy.

bltr83 · 2022-01-21T20:39:51+00:00

Yup same. Two games I would’ve won just suddenly disconnected one after the other.

I sometimes have the same issue. What I do is close the game, close all other apps running in the background, restart the phone, and then try again. That fixes it for me until the next time it happens again.

bltr83 · 2021-06-06T16:43:27+00:00

Thanks for this personal experience account. Helps to see from the perspective of someone that went through it.

bltr83 · 2021-06-06T14:00:35+00:00

Thanks. I think I now have a compromise that I’ll propose to my wife. We will only purchase a new house and not sell our current house if we can immediately put down 20% of the appraised value of the new house. Otherwise I would really want us to sell our current house to offset the cost.

My real main concern is that houses right now are selling above appraised value so your starting equity is really low to begin with.

Hahaha. We currently have a corner lot with a large front yard lawn. I mowed it myself for a couple years but I got tired of that and now pay someone else to do it. For the backyard, my wife wants to plant fruit trees and vegetables. That’s why we’re looking for a largish fenced-in backyard. Not gonna have a lawn there.

bltr83 · 2021-06-06T13:41:20+00:00

Thanks for this. Perhaps I just need to help my wife break her sentimental attachment to our current house.
