How long did it take?

@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.

How does it feel? Still surreal?

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
@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).
