Once I got on a roll I arrived at 1m in a few years.  Of course, back then, getting points added up took quite a bit longer.  There are a lot more ways to earn points now.

I guess it was 2.5 years.

You can definitely get there faster now as you get points for up to 20 comments/day (rather than 10) + 20 answers in Q&A (+ upvotes, etc) and contests w/ higher point totals.  And, you get points for subscribers/subscribing.

10,000 points a month would have been a lot and now if I hustle i can do close to 40,000

I've been here, sometimes silently, from the beginning and still nowhere near the mark. While points are nice to have and they do tend to get you featured more prominently, they are not the only things to pay attention to. I have seen people get tons of points with loads of market reports.  You have to do what is best for you. Blogging daily is a huge commitment.  You need to blog and comment and interact, yes, but how much is totally what you have time for.

It was about the journey for me -- not sure how long it took.  I joined and was a lurker for a while before I started to comment, then post and finally to be more consistent.  

The results for me are not necessarily measured by the points I have received(I like them even though they are not redeemable) but by the experiences, the knowledge and the people(who I have met in person and virtually).
