I mean it’s a pretty big accomplishment when you consider the financial state of most US households. So maybe order that nicer whiskey at dinner to celebrate, just this once.

Then, you just kind of put your head down and keep going.

That's up to you, really. Some people blow all of it, others try to see how much they can make that number go up. I'd probably just throw a nice chunk of it into a savings account.

For most working professionals when they hit that milestone it’s mostly in retirement accounts so uh, not much was the answer in my case. It actually sorta stuck up on me. It felt good as an emotional milestone but didn’t mean much in terms of day to day.

Give yourself a celebratory lunch at a fastfood place, and get back to work!

All kidding aside, its a start, buf that is it, a start. Your Net Worth includes your home, but you can't your houses value. If you don't have a house ... you might have a downpaymrnt for one.

Good luck!

Some ideas (some of which have done myself over the past few years):

Pay off any debts and/or back taxes. I had a company go over the last 7 years of returns and make sure they were all in order, fix any problems, refile with itemized deductions, etc.

Max out your 401K and get advice on when to convert it to a Roth.

Put some money into a managed (or auto managed) fund or look at robo-traded index funds like Vanguard.

Put some money into an annuity that puts profits back into the annuity instead of paying out. It will grow while you sleep and you can always add to it for greater gains.

If you have an interest in learning to trade stocks, open a trading account (Schwab, TD, whatever). I started with $500 and Im up to $5000 now.

Start saving for real...

like

Buy 100 shares of some good stock and use them to sell covered calls, hypothetically you can buy 100 shares of Tesla with $18 grand, then you sell weekly covered calls that might generate up to $200-$400 per contract
Repeat that with other stocks, you end up with up to a grand per week if you sell 4-5 covered calls, put that money back in the market to buy more shares, now you can sell two or three covered calls, rinse and repeat.

Not much. 100K can't buy you anything worth having anymore. You could start thinking about investments. As tax-sheltered as possible and hedged against your currency crashing.
E.g. I'm in Canada an earning and investing in CAD turns out to actually loose me money now.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?
