Well it took 8 months to hit my next 100k milestone this time, but today my retirement nestegg hit a valuation of $1.2M. Despite the really good market performance my nestegg has actually grown slower the last two milestones than it did the previous 4 milestones. I actually went ahead and added a new column to my table to track the time between milestones.

Part of this is probably because I am not contributing nearly as much to my retirement accounts these days. Previously I was doing a little bit more of the heavy lifting and now I’m sort of doing the bare minimum and letting the nestegg do the heavy lifting on it’s own.

Despite this I expect we should have a new record between milestones coming up here in the future. In fact at some point in the future I expect to be writing two of these types of reports in the same month!
