DK2 will finish high school in 2030. Woah typing that makes it real. I believe she'll be done (fingers crossed) in 2034. DH will be 56 turning 57 and I'll be around 55 depending on graduation date.
We have 14.5 years until we are done. I am freaked out a bit reading that. Based on the rule of 7 we should be able to double our investments 2x over. Since in theory your investments double every 7 years. By that rule we'd have a ridiculous amount of money.
I guess I feel it going by in a blink because I believe I started blogging here and on my own website in 2005. So it's been 14 years or so and my how times have changed.
If I can figure it out I should put one of those countdown days. It might freak me out though to watch it. For many of you I'm sure you are also feeling the passage of time as I read your blogs and smile. I find incredibly interesting to see how people's live have changed sometimes very rapidly. To see how much has improved often times because of this site.
Anyway I was just musing about time.
2034...dum dum da....

DS I think of your daughter fondly as well I don't know what year but I remember the crazy posts about the baht mitvah and planning for it and it costing like a wedding. I recall thinking OMG that's crazy not the cost but the idea of doing some huge birthday celebration. How will you top that for a wedding?
PJmama I find it crazy to see not financially but how fast life has changed. I like it but it's insane that about 1 decade ago I just had my first child.

I just pulled out my financial spreadsheet from 2006 year-end. Our total savings was 361K and we had 120K in debt giving us a balance of 241K.
Today, we're right around $1.3 million with zero debt, an increase of just over $1 million in the 13 years since I joined this site. Not too shabby.
