I’ve hit $25K in my retirement account balances.
I dumped a stock that was doing poorly and my Rollover IRA from my old job just paid out gains and dividends on the funds in that account, thus putting me over by $3.03. One market blip and I’ll be under again, but I’ll take it for now.
I am excited about this all. My fun-money stock trading has reinvigorated my interest in being in an investment club and putting more money into my IRA. I’ve took some really bad hits from old choices, but I’ve made some good trades this year to make up a little for it.
EDIT: Clarification, the other day my 401K account hit $20K. The combined balance of two IRA accounts and the 401K make $25K.

*quirked eyebrow* Hey, wait a sec, didn’t you just hit 20k the other day? Seriously, the other DAY?
That’s awesome. Are you actually IN an investment club already? If so, could you tell me a little more about how you researched/selected your club. I’ve only heard of them before but I don’t know the first thing about how one goes about finding and joining one.
$25k is a magical step. Doesn’t it make you feel a little easier, knowing you are building for tomorrow. Congratulations.
You just jinxed yourself! just kidding
Jim, Don’t you mean that I jinxed the WHOLE MARKET today?
Seriously, today is a crappy day across the board, even for the stocks that are just on my watching list.
Wow!!! Good work on that 25K — quite the milestone. Cheering you on…
