Milestone Reward – $350,000 – Concert

Milestone Rewards:

• Milestone Rewards – How to Make Investing Fun
• $350k Milestone Reward – Concert
• $400k Milestone Reward – Trip to Florida

About a year ago we came up with an idea to make our journey a bit more fun. Currently, every $25,000 increase in net worth, we will do something to celebrate our accomplishments. Last night we got to celebrate our $350,000 milestone reward by going to a concert. My wife saw that Breaking Benjamin was coming to town and they are a mutual favorite band of ours. It was the perfect opportunity to go celebrate!

Here’s a picture of our current milestones:

Except… that we ended up missing most of the concert. We thought they were the headline band and we were trying to time getting there just to see them and not make our babysitters watch our kids for every band that would play. So, we only got to hear 5 or 6 songs, which is bummer. But, we’re still happy we were able to go and I’m sure at some point we’ll be able to laugh about this.

We didn’t get a ton of pictures, but here’s one of us right before they walked off the stage (we went with lawn seats to save money, so you can barely see the stage from back here).

Looking ahead, the next milestone is $375,000, which we would celebrate by staying overnight in a hotel. I’m definitely looking forward to this one since that means a night off of parenting and getting to celebrate with my wife!
