It’s like they say, the first half million is the hardest! I hear ya on purchasing a car. We bought one in July and I can just feel the erosion of our net worth because of it. But it’s quality and should last the next 10 years.

In reply to J. Money. That's absolutely right J. I still remember how great I felt when NW crossed $100k, but not so much when it crossed $500k. Reaching $1 mill feels good but that's only because mass media popularized it, otherwise it's just a number. So, extrapolating backwards, negative to zero would give the greatest satisfaction. Getting out of debt, therefore, is the biggest thrill. This feeeling of lower satisfaction when your net worth keeps going up is called 'marginal utility' that I cover in one of my articles on my site. It's a well known economics and human psychology principle.

In reply to Financial Samurai. Haha... The IRS would love me too from all those fees I'd owe them from withdrawing all my retirement accounts :)

Congratulation! You’re half way there! Keep at it. The 2nd income is going to help so much in the next few years.
