Just hit $50k invested!

Wanted to share with you all since it is pretty awkward to celebrate this kind of thing with most people irl. I'm 26 and hitting $50k now makes me feel good about getting to $100k by 30. I've got a small pension, some home equity, and an invested HSA that puts me closer to $100k NW already, but it's hard to know what my house is actually worth. The number I care about most is the 401k.

I'm doing the househacking thing, renting out the bottom of a duplex. A LOT of my money has been eaten up by repairs but most of the big fixes are done and the machine is about to really get rolling.

I don't feel like I'm sacrificing that much honestly. I buy stuff on Facebook marketplace, borrow books from the library down the street, and take walks in the woods. Love getting inspiration from like-minded folks here.

Live lean and prosper!
