Retirement accounts over $100K!

May 27th, 2016 at 03:22 am

My personal ones, that is.

I typically only check retirement accounts once a month, but lately I've been thinking about retirement savings more, and so sometimes I absentmindedly go check the balance of my main 401(k) to get an idea where the market is. Well I just did that right now and noticed it was up over $87K for the first time: $87,033.08, to be exact. I knew my Roth was close to $13K, so I went and checked that: $13,003.21. That puts my retirement funds value at $100,036.29!

I know it's just a drop in the bucket compared with what I need, but it sounds like such a massive number to me!

NT has been over $100K for about 2 years now, thanks to his early investing in pensions in the UK. AS, who had barely any retirement savings to speak of until a few years ago, is getting very close to $50K: She's at $49,151.47. Unless hers take a major dive, she should hit that milestone in early July, when we'll put $2750 in her Roth.

    Awesome! The $100K is a great milestone to reach. If the market would only pick up the pace you would see some major increases in your accounts.

    Always nice to hit a milestone! And the more you have, the faster it grows, thanks to the wonders of compound interest.
