I’m at 9778 SQM and $873 away from 25K status. My goal is to reach 25K before the end of the calendar year and to hold onto it until December 31, 2025. Is that possible?

I am planning a trip from YYZ to Costa Rica (either Liberia or San Jose in October) and then another trip to Japan in November. I’m set on Japan but open to going to another South American country to reach 25k. My schedule is fairly open but weekend trips are ideal. I would love it if anyone can share any tips for my goals!
