AWESOME - Congrats Nappy !
I also got a Happy Friday call from Fidelity today at 4:30 pm
Our agent wanted to give us the good news that ROFR was waived, before she left for the weekend.
I will put my data in the specified format, as you did, but I notice it seems like some folks include the Closing$$ & MF in their total dollar figure ??
(Total$ is greater than Price-Per-Point (PPP) x Number-of-Points. I don't remember what the estimated closing was, so I'm just listing my info. based on the PPP)

$88.89-$20000-225-SSR-Jun-0/18, 0/19, 225/20, 225/21 - sent 2/20 passed 3/6

We are thrilled.
We already own at SSR (bought 210 direct in 2010, added on 40 direct in 2018), all with same June Use Year
Now we will have 475 points, which will be greatly used for Snow-Birding starting in January 2021, as I retire in December 2020 !

[FireworksEverAfter]

Captains Log: 3/6 Day 21. There still seems to be no signs of activity on the FireworksEverAfter Contract. I’ve seen others before and after my journey report with signs of prosperity. The end is beginning to appear grim. Will report back with any signs of movement.

OMG. So jealous! I have only 20 more years until retirement! haha

Just out of curiousity/jealousy/awe What will your snow-birding look like? 1 week at a time? 2 weeks at a time?

How exciting! I am also waiting for my DVC maiden voyage. Congrats!

Just out of curiousity/jealousy/awe What will your snow-birding look like? 1 week at a time? 2 weeks at a time?

We're hoping for 6-8 weeks at a time.
We now have enough DVC for 4-5 weeks in a Studio, or at least 4 weeks with a 1BR for part of it. (& we've been pretty fortunate with BWV & OKW studios at 7 Months, which are really low points, so we will try to optimize).
Then we usually also have enough BONVOY points for a week somewhere, and this year we are going to explore the DRURY hotel chain. We popped in on the one near Universal in 2019, and were impressed with their set up.
My research shows nothing but favorable reviews online, so we will probably grab a week there also in 2021. That's the plan for now !
Don't be jealous - retirement comes with a price : You have to be old enough to do it! I could be just as jealous of your youth
I think it's great that you're thinking ahead for that retirement, however, and my advice is to max-out all of your possible contributions (IRA/401-K/ROTH, whatever you can) because longevity of compounded interest is the biggest factor in building that nest egg.
