Wow! This is awesome! Congrats on reaching another milestone! It’s so motivating to follow graphs of your progress, isn’t it?
I also love that you guys explained how you will convert your non-retirement assets. That was a question we struggled to find an answer to in this world of very late retirements. As a result we did what you are doing now- built up the non-retirement fund to avoid early penalties and fees, because who likes those, right?
Great work and keep it up!

Hi! Thank you. It sure is motivating and I like that the blog provides me with a reason to track the progress via different charts. Yes, we gotta do our best to avoid those fees!!! It’s amazing how little people know about the loop holes available. I found out about it a few years ago as well. Thanks for dropping by!
