Our goal is probably what brought you to this page. I would like to have our net worth be at or over a million dollars before we drop our son off at college. So by August of 2035, we'll need to make a handful of new habits and good choices and keep them up.
I was inspired by Millionaire By Forty who set a goal to reach a million dollars in the bank by his 40th birthday. But honestly what got my attention on his site was his simple idea to write. my. goals. down.
Accountability has been the hardest part of keeping up with our finances in my opinion. We generally live under our means, save quite a bit, and pay off debt aggressively when it comes into our lives but the idea of meeting a lofty goal like having a million dollars in the bank seems impossible on a month by month basis. I'm just too close to it and need to look at the bigger picture and see what we can accomplish in the long run.
Here are some details so you can know a little bit about me since I'm in this for the long haul. My husband and I are both 29 and live in Kansas with our two dachshunds and brand new baby. I work in higher education at a private university and my husband is a driver for a food distributor.
Thank you for joining me! 18 years and 4 + months to go.
