Well, love doesn't take financial optimization into account, so the wife didn't enter the log with much debt or assets so even with the stern disapproval of my chinese mother in marrying someone with only a bachelors from a state university, I still wub her, and she loves me even when I yell at her when doing the monthly report along the lines of "Woman! the chase card is 5% cash back on gas stations this quarter, stop using the damn Capital One!"

It's very interesting that you have all that data. It's something I wish I had on myself, but would never take the time to gather and maintain.

Cool, thanks

Congrats dude . I'm learning how to invest well so I can do this too, though I have to say that I hope loving what I do coincides with the goal of being a Millionaire .

Word. One thing to brag about getting a girlfriend or some shit, but to brag about earning a million is pretty weak.

Well, aren't we all assholes sometimes? Unless you're a saint (in general usage, not specifically religious), odds are you've been an asshole to someone at some point in your life. (Some more than others, granted.)
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

I bet I'd be a millionaire too if I calculated it in Yen or something like that.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

The fact you graphed everything is far more impressive than the million dollars actually.

Although it help shows the mindset required to make that million.

I'm a simple engineer, worked for government contractor at first (top sekret) then worked for NASA for a few years before going back into research after the shuttle program got demoted to escape pod or whatever it is now, and went low-stress and just do simple research now. Mostly just sitting around all day trying to come up with something new. As for when the house was bought, it became #1 priority after the wedding and before the kid, which was a pretty good time since interest rates have only gone up. Who knows though, we needed the space!

I got 4k for my old mid-90s Corolla when I traded it in to buy the Civic (new), hopefully I can get 4k out of the civic in 10 years!

I haven't officially been diagnosed, but I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't have a slight form of OCD every once in a while. I even keep track of my amazon.com purchases, and as expected they spike during the holidays, but now that I use my work account to qualify for prime shipping, I've succumbed to subscribing to amazon toilet paper and water filters. With Chase's 5% cash back in 4Q 2013, means I will probably spend close to $1500 next quarter. -_-

I have a coworker that has 2 sons, one already in college and another just applying. One liked computer science and the other is a .... tuba player. I was asked to talk to the old computer science earlier about CMU and he ended up going there and is doing well; while the tuba player is playing the shit out of a $12k tuba with $500 wood mouth piece thingies apparently. He's probably going to go to some expensive music school at $55k/year and then barely scrape by in some city's symphony if he stays on course.

My coworker seems to talk way more about the tuba player. Probably since the comp-sci guy plays LoL 24/7.

As my son gets older and more "exploratory" (he's currently climbing on top of things like chairs, and then standing up on them to climb up onto tables/shelves) the wife's adamant wall of "THIS CHILD SHALL NEVER PLAY VIDEO GAMES LIKE HIS FATHER" is slowly crumbling to "I'll let this child do/watch/playwith whatever will keep him safe and quiet".

But yea, art. Screw art! That's a dead end worse than a tuba! Only art I support is MS paint.
