M. asks: Do you celebrate financial milestones? For example reaching 500k in total investments/retirement savings? I saw a list of goals in an article suggesting celebrating.
The article she is probably referring to is the one from WCI: 14 financial milestones worth celebrating.
The post suggests to celebrate 14 financial milestones as they are reached, including becoming student debt free, paying off the mortgage and being financially independent. Reaching 500k in net worth is goal #6.
Yes, I celebrate all the milestones mentioned in that article and many more.
I celebrate everything. And I support everyone who is celebrating. I like to celebrate whatever it is. For example for my Birthday I don't limit my celebrations to one day, I celebrate the entire month.
People from Russia will know the Russian calendar which suggests reasons for celebrations for each and every day. I remember as a child I was looking at every new page every day to see what can I celebrate that day.
One day I thought that if I celebrate so much, I must be a happy person.
I found a psychological test online testing how happy you are.
I filled out all questions and my result was: "You are too happy. Please abstain from using drugs while taking this test." Imagine how surprised I was, I was laughing a lot. I am so boring in terms of drugs, I dont' even drink alcohol. That was just too funny.
