$4.5M Net Worth And Living Life

4.3 million. Way to go. Good job. And what is the breakdown of that? What's it invested in? Well, the .3 is my house. The rest of it is in the stock market, primarily mutual funds. That does include both my husband and my IRA, and each of us have over a million in our individual IRAs. And they're Roth IRAs, by the way. So the taxes are paid. Very nice. Very nice. And what are you, what's your age? I'm 59. Okay. And how much of the 4.3 million was inherited? You heard me just talk about that. I am from a poor family. Zero. Zero. Okay. All you inherited was the desire to not be broke. That's right. You better believe it. I hear you. So what was the range of your household income through your working life? Well, I have to break this down to the first million and then thereafter. Okay. I was a millionaire by the time I was 37. Okay. And every time I say I, I really mean to include my husband Mark. He couldn't be here today. Okay. But it should be we, but since I'm the person talking, I'm saying I. That's okay. We. Yeah. But when we had our first million, we were millionaires by the time we were 37. How'd you do that? Um, frankly, Dave, unfortunately, this was before the baby steps were out there. And so we had to figure it out ourselves. We read a lot, but also we came down to a very simple strategy. We had two incomes. We lived on one and we paid off our debts with the other. And then once we paid off the debt, then we started investing. Sounds like our plan. That's what we did. Very good. So what was your income during those years? Um, it was between 40 to 50k. Wow. And that's how you got the first million? That's how I got the first million.
