@Timmy2 I can't say exactly, because there was also a house purchase in between (when I sold all my securities). But you can roughly say: 22 years.

@JR7
Surprisingly unspectacular.

I had been working towards this number for years and then there it was. No fireworks, no special moment - rather a deep satisfaction. The real success was not the number itself, but the journey to it and the knowledge that perseverance and patience had paid off.

But as a well-known former soccer goalkeeper used to say: "Keep going, keep going!"

@DusselDuck I always find it fascinating when I hear this from "successful" people. It's never when you reach your goal, but how you get there. Congratulations!

@DusselDuck to most its always unspectacular. Just another day in office. This made me remember feeling when I changed my 20+ years used car for new six digit sport one. It was more statement to days when I was going ahead with just discipline and vision. Congrats!

@JR7 Probably quite normal, because you work your way up to these sums quite slowly, so it's not really surprising if you were at 800 or 900k shortly before. :D

@Timmy2 that would be financial freedom with the right dividend stocks

••

Julian@MoneyISnotREAL

1Semana

@Korni1987 What do you define as financial freedom? The next question would be if he had the dividend shares, would he already have the 1 million by now?

Even with a 1.5% withdrawal rate for 1 million, it's a decent monthly "additional income". That certainly makes a lot of things possible or gives peace of mind for some things. Consider total net return, not just the dividend (excluding share price).

@CaYaRo only if you get old enough or save enough. With 2% inflation, I would need 500k to retire as I do today.

And that's only if my income increases at a reasonable rate. I would also have to save well for the 500k.

Very cool brand!

Is that all-in or just capital market assets?

Global I.@gloinvest

@Wealth-Accelerator I can tell you in my own case. The emotional idea of achieving a 7-digit rating and the real experience have nothing to do with each other. At least for me. It's not the feeling of "done". At that moment, the 2 million light bulb immediately went on in my head - and so it feels exactly the same as before. What's more, you're never satisfied with the path you've taken - you're still somehow always tinkering with the strategy. It doesn't become an autopilot.

@gloinvest I see it the same way.
Nevertheless, I think it's particularly nice for the community to read a bit about how you got there. Because it's not as normal for the community as it is for the person who arrives there.
And most people are certainly happy to be inspired.

But simply posting a screenshot doesn't change the experience for you, nor does it create any great added value for the community. At least if you haven't been able to visibly follow a member's journey over the last few months and years.

@Wealth-Accelerator It's true that a community thrives on as much information and detail as possible. However, you should also understand that not every forum member may want to get naked in every situation. That's not part of the compulsory program here, what do you think? The supposed anonymity on the web is often very tempting.

@MozartsGeist
Everything is fine.
When I wrote, there wasn't even a thank you under the screenshot.

I think anonymity is an incredibly important asset in this forum! Nevertheless, I think you can provide a few hints that help the community even if you keep your identity. I was just questioning what added value a post like this provides.

I have one more question, dear. How did you finance the house purchase? Cash or credit? I'm planning to do the same. I would be delighted if you could help me with some information 💓
Thank you very much in advance

Dussel D.@DusselDuck

@Aminmeskini 20% equity and 80% loan.
I was then able to shorten the loan term considerably with annual unscheduled repayments.

@Krush82 depends on which properties are involved and what the interest rate situation is at the time of the house purchase/construction

@Aminmeskini When financing real estate, the highest possible equity ratio is the top priority. Whether and for whom a property makes sense is again an individual question. Does a "nasty couple" need their own house? Possibly not in every case. Does it make sense for a family with children, I think so!

@MozartsGeist We are married and have four children. I think it makes a lot of sense for us. I will continue to save diligently and hopefully buy a house in a few years, God willing 🙏

Congratulations to you! 👍 Great achievement! A mark that we probably all have in our sights in the course of wealth accumulation. What's interesting for me personally is the changing view of such amounts (inflation). When I was a child, "millionaire" was the umbrella term when it came to wealth. Today I see it as an intermediate stage and that's how it will probably develop in the future.
