Thanks Mrs. Farmhouse Finance! I appreciate the kind words ๐Ÿ™‚ Living at home and working through college were indeed two huge factors that helped me reach $100k in only two years. Hopefully the next $100k will come even faster!

Thanks for the feedback ๐Ÿ™‚

Hey Liz,

Thanks for the kind words! It’s a milestone I am stoked to pass as well and I’ve been looking forward to it since I first started tracking my net worth two years ago. Juggling school and work could be pretty intense at times during college (as someone who did the same, you probably know what I mean), but it all paid off in the end and it gave me a huge financial head start. Thanks again ๐Ÿ™‚

I remember the days you would talk about hitting your first $100K, and how you looked forward to it. I’m so glad the day has finally come. I’m incredibly amazed by you. This is a great achievement for such a young age, and you should be very proud of yourself.

It’s interesting to read about how hard you worked when you were younger. Juggling a part-time job and paying for your college fees, and then juggling a full-time job and your masters! It’s incredible. I also juggled a part-time job while I was in college, and that was super helpful in helping me to save money, but I never ran at the same intensity that you did. I really applaud you and I’m so stoked that all your hard work has paid off.

The first $100K is always the hardest, and you’ve done it. Congratulations! I’m sure your net worth will start increasing exponentially from here on out. ๐Ÿ™‚

Saving $100k by age 24 is a huge accomplishment. Living at home and working to pay for college were very smart decisions that obviously paid off. Can’t wait to see when you hit $200,000!

Thanks Luxe! I have definitely had the dual factors of a high salary and low cost of living working in my favor, which is the main reason I was able to hit $100k in just 2 years. I’m always impressed at how much you can save living in a big city. I do agree it’s all about principles and habits. It’s all about creating a sizable, consistent gap between income and spending, then simply investing the difference over the long haul. Thanks for your thoughts ๐Ÿ™‚

I could read this and choose to feel jealous, because it took me a lot longer to get that $100k: I didn’t make nearly the same salary, I had student loans, I frittered money away on dumb stuff. But really, it’s all about the principles and habits. I was able to save a lot of money even when I made $54k. I also chose to rent for as little money as I could without sacrificing my lifestyle. Totally one of the main reasons I’ve been able to save in big cities.
