<prompt> Human: Its kind of poor taste to be a braggart in real life so that leaves reddit as a place where I can beam. :DI just turned 30 and finally reached my goal of 100,000 dollars of net assets. I came from an immigrant family and am from a working class neighborhood. My mother never went beyond 6th grade and my father only graduated high school. They are the save the cash under the mattress types. I had to practice discipline and learn how to save through my own experience. It feels great that I can take care of myself and not be a burden on anyone. Looking to the future, with continued savings, I will even be able to help my parents out in their old age. I want to thank you guys in this subreddit for helping me along and I would like to give a big shout out to the miracle of compounding interest!  <response>: Way to go! I just recently did the same and I felt quite proud of myself. The best part is, with compounding you should be in great shape and before long youll hopefully be shooting past the 200k mark and beyond.
