Interim Retirement Nestegg Report $1.1M

Interim Retirement Nestegg Report $1.1M

Well it took a bit longer to hit this milestone than maybe I expected. In fact it this was the longest between 100k milestones since I went from $500k to 600k. At this point in my nest egg’s life the market is much more in control of that than I am so I shouldn’t get too worked up about how fast or slow I hit milestones. The work has been done and now I’m just the captain of a big growing ship with tiny rudder which I guess was the whole point.

Retirement Nestegg Report March 2019

Retirement Nestegg Report March 2019

Small growth in my retirement nestegg and some slightly less than stellar investment performance – especially in my 401k which seems strange given I’m in index funds there for most part. I got a boost of over $9k in 401k contributions this month due to an annual matching contribution that hit my account this month. Next 100k milestone should be just around the corner.
