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.
