Interim Retirement Nestegg Report – I broke $800,000

Well another 5 months and another $100,000 added to my retirement nestegg. To be honest I’m a little dumbfounded how fast my nestegg is growing and the best part is it is almost entirely by market gains with no effort on my part. In fact since I wrote our monthly report exactly one week ago my portfolio has added another $16,000. I’m not expecting it to continue but at this pace the double comma club isn’t to far off and I am well ahead of my projections to hit a $1M nestegg by age 40.
