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.

Thats 12 months in a nursing home keep working and saving.

We quit the job on the spot and ride into the sunset- never to be heard again

I'm making $170k and still waiting for the deposit every paycheck 😓 inflation is crazy

100k didn't make a huge difference for me originally. Id say if anything I bought nicer food from the supermarket and maybe a nicer whisky on occasions but everything else remained the same

100k , depending on how much time you worked to achieve your savings or first 100k. Your plans should be brilliant and simple ,for your present and future. Spend some money on what makes you happy and is a life changing experience .Like Gold, Property ,Land , Travel ,or Stocks investment A invest some money to remake your 100k back 3 Times worth or create a business to have monthly income. So when you spend money you make money...But eather way do what your heart desires...

Keep investing and tracking your spend & growth— and start stacking credit card rewards for travel

When I was younger, I thought once I hit 100k, I’d have riches upon riches. I am over 100k and with three kids in this economy, it’s nothing.

Travel

Keep grinding knowing that the next 100k is likely a little easier to get. Then keep grinding.
