starting 2020 with big milestone

January 10th, 2020 at 03:13 pm

Happy New Year and new decade fellow SA bloggers!

As usual, I wish I could blog regularly, but I just can't pull it off. I do however read the blogs almost daily and really enjoy keeping up with everyone's triumphs and trials and cheer you on from afar. I also learn a lot from the various posts.

Last night the sum total of my retirement accounts (work plan and my own Roth and Traditional IRAs which are all housed under at one company) reached the big milestone. It was a little surreal to see the amount in its full glory. It's been so close for the past week or two, but didn't actually cross the line until last evening. I thought I would celebrate now because it will very likely dip up and down and not consistently stay above the line for quite awhile. I'm enjoying this bull market while it's here, knowing full well that a bear is lurking in the shadows ready to emerge from hibernation at any moment.

I haven't thought much about 2020 goals - mostly just trying to make it through each day after a 2019 filled with lots of unexpected changes. Honestly, I've never had much success with setting and reaching goals, my mind just doesn't work that way. I'd be retired by now if it did!

Just noticed that my sidebar is woefully out o' date - I turned 55 in 2019.

I hope 2020 brings my fellow SAers whatever it is that you want and need most.
