re: A different take - When did your net worth pass $1 million?

On track to have $1,000,000 in my 401K by 45. I'm 40 now so getting excited.

I remember it like it was yesterday, back in good ole 2034

Ask me after the next Powerball drawing.

I think it was Monday for my wife and I. Not a joke.

About $700k in retirement accounts. $150k in home equity. Another $150 in cash and short term accounts.

Then the market dropped in recent days so we’re at around $995,000. We were joking about finally being “millionaires.” I also get it’s not really that much money if we paid the penalties on early withdrawals.

We’re 42 and 41 years old. We each make about $65k with no kids or debt besides the house.

Are you counting the unrealized estimated equity in your house in "net worth"?

Liquidity was not mentioned in the OP.

Don't have a million liquid accessible but the day my my father in law passed away, my wife became 1/4 interest to a trust that is worth a large amount. If the trustee sells some of the LA county commercial real estate, it's on.

I invented the Snuggie so I’m past 8 figures.

In what area? What is your outlook on neighborhood pharmacies?
