Not a great month.  The only thing that kept me moving in the positive direction was making some larger-than-minimum payments on a loan.  Retirement accounts did go down about $150, but I'm not worried about those yet.

06/04/19: $63,056.67

Did a Memorial Day roadtrip. Bought some parts for project car and also finished buying all the parts for 100k mile maintenance on my daily. Expenses were up for wine/food/going out. Also bought camping gear for my upcoming July roadtrip. Quarterly taxes were also paid.

Mar 2019 $14,000
Apr 2019 $12,700

May 2019 $9,500

More investment declines. I know it's only temporary, but I don't like seeing things move that direction.

I broke $10,000 on 9/9/2018. I'm up to $25k as of 2/17/2019.


3/20/19: $26,600.

If all goes well i'll be at $30k by Mid May.

 On 5/15/19 I will undoubtedly be over 30k (closer to $31-32k) and should continue going up from there!

Well 5/15/19 put me just barely over, and then life continues and the market didn't help me so I went back under. Got paid again at end of month and now with most bills settling in the last 2 days I'm strong set at $30,500 with no large anticipated expenses prior to more paychecks coming in. Given today is looking good >+1% to market. I'm thinking we'll be just fine to staying >30,000!

Just curious, what are you invested in that you saw a ~25% drop?

I've no idea what Optimiser's situation is, but it's possible that they have both large assets and large debts (like if they're counting a mortgage), and the drop therefore represents a much smaller percentage of their assets than of their NW.

Consistent 401k + HSA contributions + an extra paycheck this month, and market decline, hence the drop.  Things were bought on sale.  I'm not worried.  I'm still aiming for an August graduation.. :)

This is correct. My investments themselves were only down 4.5%, but my net worth is lower than my investment balance because of student loans.

Big purchase last month kept my NW from jumping but I’m back on track and ready for the gains!

Only up about $15.5k this year so far so I need to flip it onto high gear and hope for some market gains to make my goals for 2019. I’ve got this, though. Increased my contributions from $400 (rIRA) to $400 + $400 (taxable) since I’m not eligible for a 401k at this job yet. Doing what I can for now.

Been reading through everyone's progress for May and most of us didn't go anywhere because of the market drop, so don't feel bad.

I should have been able to bank more, seeing as I had my holiday bonus. Truth is, I had a horrible few weeks personally - I've been out sick for 7 weeks now. So I had some fun with my bonus. Mind, I'd already allocated my bonus, I was going to divide it between a small extra mortgage payments and a big portion investing. Instead I gave up control and let it hang loose. I've been doing some retail therapy... new phone, vacuum, sun screen for my living room... it was 'necessary' in the sense that my old phone was broken and the screen and vacuum were near breaking. But I did buy the nicer, more expensive version than I normally would have. Hellooo Dyson stick vacuum. I did order a lot of food instead of cooking. Also on the list: 600 in donations and gifts. Not necessary... but damn it felt nice.
 
Still ahead, but significantly less than I wanted to be. I could've been over 99k now. To curb my spending, I did make an extra mortgage payment of 2500. Far from a perfect month, but whatever.
 
Gonna pat myself on the back because: 1) I have saved diligently for years so I can blow 2k and still come out ahead. 2) my frugality muscle is so well trained that I 'splurged' on items that I truly needed to replace, just got the nicer version, so that's only a small face punch. Yes, yes, punch me for ordering food, I deserve that. 3) Splurged with donations, also still did an extra mortgage payment. Can't face punch myself for that. 4) I let go of control of my spending in a miserable month, don't really beat myself up about it.
 
Sorry for rambling... point is: it'll be fine, it was refreshing to give up control.

All in all you're still doing well @Nederstash and you'll be at 100k soon enough. Imo a Dyson is truly worth the money - I think it's the most expensive appliance in my house and one of the few I bought new but I've had it for 4 years now and it's still just as good as the first time I used IT. Usually vacuums become less powerful over time. I expect it to last a lot more years.

Yup! A big part of that is that we've paid off just shy of 20k in student loan debt since January (the last 3,888.78 will be gone soon).  And we've still been pushing some into tax advantaged accounts so that's helped slow down the decrease from the market correction.  It helps to have a wife who shares my frugality, a big income, and a high savings rate.

I broke $10,000 on 9/9/2018. I'm up to $25k as of 2/17/2019.

With my paycheck tomorrow and the recent gains in market i'm around 32650 after a few minor expenses are paid out in the next few days. So 4 months since 25k and i'm at 32650. A change of 7650 / 4 is about 1912 a month.

Well this was a surprise to see this morning. Although we're a little heavy on the cash side right now and we have some significant purchases coming up that will deplete our funds over the next couple weeks. I'll probably stay in this thread until after next paycheck (or two) to see where we've truly netted out and to make sure we're actually ready fo the next race.

Either way, we're pretty stoked to have seen 100k NW for the first time ever!

Hadn't picked up on that. +90k in less than a year is pretty darn impressive indeed.

Hello all,

Getting back slowly in the race after almost a year of maternity (paid) + parental leave (unpaid). Hoping to pass the 50K bar by the end of this year. Everything is slower in Europe but then I had 6 months of paid maternity leave so I can't complain a lot.

Two churning bonuses came in this pay period totaling $900, which was nice. It offset my big spend last month and got my NW back on track. I should hit $60K by the end of next month and $75K before the end of the year. More, if I get put on the pay structure I am entitled to.  If that’s the case I may hit $90K by EOY.

I've reached the £20k mark! 

£22,010.88 to be exact.  That's over £3k worth of an increase since last month which blows every other month out of the water.  I think my investments have helped quite a bit! 

Nearly a quarter of the way to graduating this thread.

Congrats, @zeli2033!!  I have to admit I'm always a little jealous of those of you who graduate so quickly.  Nice job!!

I get like that as well.  The population on this forum is so unique, so you're bound to find the likes of Zeli, who's smashing it, and feel quite envious. 

I compare myself to my real-life comunity here in Manchester.  I'm significantly better off than my friends now, even those who earn double the money I do, because they squander theirs.  In fact, I'm cooking dinner tonight for a friend who's 'skint' and needs to wait until payday to get their shopping done! Another friend has just bought a pair of Balenciagas out of the money he's saving to put down on a house. 


The progress you're making will have you ahead of the vast majority of people out there.  You're going to reach FI, it's just a case of when! :)

This looks fun, and might help me stay motivated. I will leanfire with a paid off house at $360,000. So in other words, im a million miles away still.

I think our numbers will qualify when I update July 1st (or close enough :).
I have been tracking in excel since January this year.

Combined NW:

2019
Jan: -$7,248

Good luck with it.  I'm sure you'll make some good progress. 

I started in the saving to 10k thread.  It's very motivational.  I think you get more feedback in there than you do on this thread and I would definitely recommend starting in there. 

I'd also recommend reading the 'don't pay of your mortgage' thread if you haven't already!

Thanks! I am over 10k today, so by my July update I would have to leave the 10k thread anyways, so I figured Id post in this thread.

I don't have a mortgage (yet), and believe me, at 3% I would not pay one cent over the minimum.

And good luck to you too, I hope you reach your goals! (unless you're a blue) ;)

Yes, I really loved the 10k thread and I'm so happy to see many people from that thread in this thread now. Sometimes it seems that everyone on this forum earns 6 figures, and while that's great for them, it's something so far away from my life that it's hard to relate to that.

Especially over the last year I've started to notice just how much more well off I am compared to most people I know. And I'm not a big earner, just about average. But there's a couple hundred left over at the end of the month every single month, a bit more in a good month, and now my emergency fund is filled up completely, I can invest quite a lot. It's the little things that add up. I still have fun and meet friends and go on trips, I just don't spend an insane amount of money doing it. And I don't live in the capital which is a major cost saver.

Reporting early since I'm about to go out of town. Getting very close, though my net worth keeps vacillating with the market. I'm not convinced I'll stay above the threshold once I reach it...

Thanks! I am over 10k today, so by my July update I would have to leave the 10k thread anyways, so I figured Id post in this thread.

I don't have a mortgage (yet), and believe me, at 3% I would not pay one cent over the minimum.

And good luck to you too, I hope you reach your goals! (unless you're a blue) ;)

That's great!  Well I'll try my best to replicate the motivation from that thread on this one! 


Fortunately I am a formerly long suffering, recently incredibly happy Blue! :')
