the 'solo' is the most impressive part!

Congrats! And it will continue to compound from there. It’s awesome to think your investments generate more passively than some people make in a year.

2025 was the first year that my nw increased more than my w2 income. That was neat.

Took me 10.5 years to hit $1m in investments and then only 6.5 years to get to $2m. Combination of making more and being able to save more and investment growth. You’ll see same trajectory as well I’m sure.

That’s a huge milestone, congrats, seriously. Hitting seven figures in investments by 37 is no small feat, especially doing it solo. You’ve clearly been intentional with your money.
Out of curiosity, are you thinking about diversifying your income streams now that you’ve built that foundation?

I’m curious why more non-US citizens interested in FIRE don’t go live in a no/low tax jurisdiction even for a few years e.g. Dubai, some Caribbean islands. I get that some people will have family circumstances (e.g. elderly parents to look after) so it won’t be possible for them, but for a significant proportion it will be an option
