Oh man, within $500, so close!  I made it to within one pay check of graduating, but now it’s looking like 2 or3 to get there.

I know!  Gah!  Good luck to us both!!

I just added up all my accounts and got $100,491.30

My two investments accounts are still a couple of thousand below the 100k so not quite yet.

08/16/2019: $62,923.68

Chugging along. Negotiating a raise at work, so hopefully I make better progress in Q4. Not to say my current progress isn’t good!

I’m building up my cash cushion a bit with the extra paycheck this month and am looking forward to ~65k net worth by the end of August. At my YTD rate, I’m increasing my net worth by about $3,240.00 each month. Which means that I should be somewhere around $75.8k at the end of 2019 if I maintain the same salary and savings rate.

I’m looking to bump from $85k to $110-134k in the next month or two, so hopefully I can make that happen and maybe hit 100k before the end of the year.

Always frustrating to see it going down but it's due to the market. I managed to have a fancy holiday and still save a little. Not as short on cash as last update and about to invest a bundle for cheaper than usual so I guess things aren't too bad! Will focus on saving in september.

Hello

Feb 06, 2017:  € 16,720
Apr 04, 2017:  € 23,400

 Aug 8, 2019:  € 48,526
Aug 18, 2019: € 50,236

Yay!! Broke the 50K mark, let's hope that the next 50K won't take 4 years or even more. With a mortgage and childcare, it's hard to save.
New goal for the end of year is to get to 55K; stretch goal will be to have an increase of 20K for 2019 or a NW of 56.5 K.

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.

My 8/2/19 balance (3 paychecks since last update) will be around $37,000 once paycheck, rent, and reimbursement from GF all settles. Solid gain for 1.5 months given my income.

A quick Trip to Kansas and some market schenanigans and suddenly my estimate is almost 1800 dollars off. Great :P

I was like boooo when I saw the recent market drops, but also have to realize that while being at $36500 right now instead of 37-38,000 which is where i was anticipating, i'm still averaging over 2000 a month since I broke the 10k mark. Progress!

Another month and another step in the right direction.  Unfortunately not as much as I'd have liked, but it's all progress - especially considering I had some other costs and could have been way more frugal than I was.



I'm £545 up from last month.

Also - the usual website I use to host my images on this site has closed down - what do you guys use?

01/07 2019: €9288.2
01/08/2019: €10.485.05 good month 😀
01/01/2020: €14.500 Goal

01/09/2019: 11554.85

My salary has hit, so I thought I'd update now. Since I don't count my checking account it doesn't really matter anyway. Good month. Next months will be worse as I'm going on holiday and am looking for a different job. Onwards and upwards!

Dec 2017 €14.300
June 2018 €23.300 (+9k over 6 months)
Dec 2018 €35.600 (+13.3k over 6 months)
June 2019 €48.000 (+12.3k over 6 months)
July 2019 €49.400 (+1.400)
Aug 2019 €49.200 (-200)

First time ever for my NW to move downwards. Last month I posted right before the dip and as stocks haven't really gone back up from that yet I'm down regardless of my below average expenses (61% SR) this month.

Well, I just barely touched 100k, I’ll make an official call of graduation hopefully at the end of the week/month if it sticks, or the market will drag me right back in this race for a while, who knows.

Same here. I have some 'sustainable' ETFs but I am always interested to hear about new/different ones that I don't know about yet.

April 2019: €10094.35
May 2019: €11629.87
June 2019: €12728.63
July 2019: €13021,33
August 2019: €10363,95

Goals for 2019:
Savings: €5000
Investments: €10000

Not a good month for the net worth, with a big invoice for a renovation project due + tuition and books for next semester and a lower income because of unpaid leave + no income from my side hustle during summer holiday, but I have been pretty frugal otherwise this month - 40% savings rate while I only earned €1350.

I have depleted my emergency fund so building that back up is my main goal as my job has become very insecure. I don't expect it to end before the end of the year but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends next year. There is possibly an option to switch to a different location but I wouldn't want to do that, it's too far from home and if I don't accept that option I will not qualify for unemployment benefits (as I'd be unemployed by choice). I'm sure I'd find work soon enough and my side hustle is going well, so I'm not too worried as long as I've got about 5k (or 6 months of expenses) in my savings account.

I do not include my savings to buy expensive "fun items" like new cellphone, electronics etc. as it is not very big. My checking account is also not included as it has money I will likely spend this month. Goal for 2019 is to make it to $45K.

Net worth:
Dec2017:$7800
Apr2018:$13,200
Aug2018:$22,800
Sep2018: $23,645
Oct2018: $23,658
Nov2018: $23,948 (+$290)
Dec2018: $23,960 (+12)
Jan2019: $27,100 (+3140)
Feb2019: $29,443 (+2343)
Mar2019: $31,603 (+2160)
Apr2019: $33,959 (+2356)
May2019: $33,933 (-$26)
Jun2019: $37,928 (+3995)
Jul2019: $39,736 (+1808)
Aug2019: $39,918 (+182) -Its a little sad to know that I added almost $1300 to my retirement investments, and they only went up $182. I hope the bounce back will be epic!

New graduate from the race to 50k thread joining in, already used that to track net worth, so no adjustments needed.

I'm a 26 year old guy, living together with my GF in one of the bigger Dutch cities. We are lucky enough to both make decent money for our age and Dutch standards, but rent is rather high. A big part of the numbers above is my half of the down payment we're saving up. GF is very frugal, and I've only just cathced up with her money wise: joint NW is slightly over 100K now! We keep finances separated, so I'll be tracking for myself only.

First six months of 2019 were very fortunate for me: vacation pay, extra monthly pay as a bonus and two holidays that were less expensive than expected. Now it's just hoping I can continue the streak. Next goal: 60k on the 5th of december ("Sinterklaas").

Best of luck to everyone posting and reading here, happy stashing!

25-6-2018            € 29.879,12 ------> Started Tracking
25-7-2018            € 30.749,12
25-8-2018            € 31.993,17
25-9-2018            € 33.185,00 ------> Found MMM
25-10-2018          € 34.433,66
25-11-2018          € 35.556,00
25-12-2018          € 41.939,62
25-1-2019            € 42.082,47
25-2-2019            € 44.338,00
25-3-2019            € 46.218,65
25-4-2019            € 47.829,00
03-6-2019            € 49.478,00
05-7-2019            € 52.722,00
25-7-2019            € 54.736,00
31-8-2019            € 56.431,00

To be honest, the market downfall since last periode was a bit dissapointing, here's hoping to a bigger sale on stocks asap! The month itself was financially dull, standard pay, no big expenses. Sort-off related: my goal to accumulate 50k in hard cash (home deposit, buyer's costs, etc.) is going to be met soon, meaning that come November, I'll be able to increase monthly investments with 70%! And then I'm truly off into the boring middle...

Thanks to all the welcoming messages my first post in here received, happy stashing and best of luck to you all for the next month- we'll get there!

At any rate.. wow! great feeling!! Hoping to officially graduate next month :)

It's not a loss, so I'll take it.  Retirement accounts were more or less flat once you take into account the contributions.  The biggest change was actually in my bank accounts and that's almost fully explained by my paying a couple of larger annual expenses in August.

I was nervous about the market drop this month but contributions were greater than the drop fortunately enough for me(wife got paid 3x). Other than that I put about an extra 800.00 toward my debt this month. Working on being debt free here in 2 years.

Hello everyone! It is my first time posting in this thread, I just made by way over from the race to $10k thread which I just surpassed.

Here is a basic breakdown of the numbers as of the end of the day today:

Total Cash/Cash Equivalents: $31,642
Total Liabilities: $20,131

Net Worth: $11,511

Virtually all of my liabilities are student loans. I also have some minor balances on my credit cards, which I pay off monthly. I've been aggressively attacking the student loans (see my participation in the student loan challenge if curious) and have made steady progress.

As for asset composition,  20% are in checking accounts, 13% is in my HSA and 67% is in my 401k.

9/29/17 - $11,511 (First post in thread)
6/30/18 - $36,000
7/31/18 - $38,676
8/31/18 - $40,277
9/30/18 - $50,572
10/31/18 - $46,085
11/30/18 - $48,956
12/31/18 - $46,003
1/31/19 - $53,028
2/28/19 - $58,276
3/31/2019 - $67,340
4/30/2019 - $70,674
5/31/2019 - $69,853
6/30/2019 - $75,757
7/31/2019 - $78,206
8/31/2019 - $83,589

August Notes

The rare two paycheck month is the main reason I am up at all this month. Market bloodbath plus some hefty medical bills caused the net worth to tread water, but my paycheck came early due to the holiday. Though as a result September will be likely trend negative, unless the market gains a bit.

We had a 5-paycheck month, plus my husband is now getting his employer 401k match for a nice savings boost.

Met with our mortgage broker last week and were able to secure a 3.375% refinance (decreased from 4.625!) that will decrease our payment ~150/month. We'll lose a little chunk of savings in loan fees when we close later this month, but I'm planning to funnel all of that extra monthly $$ into investments and will break even in less than 3 years.

Moral of the story: If you have a mortgage, check to see if it's worth it to refinance because rates are really low right now!
