Great to catch up on this thread. Good work everyone!

I was avoiding updating-- things have not been so exciting on this end. This year I've seemingly been at a financial standstill. BUT I didn't go into debt even though I was out of work for over 3 months AND things are still okay. I'm sticking with it. Trying to at least add micro-amounts into savings. My work might get cut again but I'm just working now and trying to re-build my little EF.

10/1/20 $10,023

Excited to be able to finally post in here! This will be for my own personal accounts, my 403B & Roth IRA.  As a family, net worth is much higher when including our home equity, rental home (our first house that we now rent out) my spouse’s retirement account, etc. Some background info, I was a stay at home mom for 8 years, which I loved! During that time I went back to get my master’s in social work.  Started working at a non-profit part time (to have flexibility with the kids) 6 years ago, so not a big money maker, but it’s work that I enjoy and can be fulfilling, yet sometimes emotionally draining! About a year ago, I passed my licensing exam, so I became a licensed clinical social worker.  Recently I have started providing therapy part-time, so with the therapy & social work, I’m starting to bring in enough to give us some cushion in our finances.  So here we go :)

Welcome to the forum @NikkiO!  Great first post.

Thank you so much! I hope I replied correctly, this forum is a weath of information, but not as easy to navigate as other social media tools.

It's actually really exciting to have been out of work for months while your net worth has barely changed! Good to hear you're working again, at least for now.

October is a 3 paycheck month, so I'm hoping to graduate this thread very soon! Originally my goal was to graduate by April, but then Covid and then surgery. My medical bill still has 20 more months of no interest, so I'm making a big enough payment every month to pay it off in 19. 
My adjusted goal was December, but I may hit it by the end of this month! It all depends on the market. I feel like I've been stuck for over a year, hovering right around the $100k mark...my original original goal was to hit it by LAST December. Then a bonus got delayed and I moved to a new place, etc. But it's good to have goals and to have this forum to keep motivated when I feel like I'm just treading water.

Tracking investments, emergency fund and additional pension investments (all to be used to retire together with SO!)
(not tracking company pension investments, house value and current accounts)

15 May 2020: EUR 17,034
15 Jun 2020: EUR 18,160
15 July 2020: EUR 18,809
5 August 2020: EUR 18,332
10 September 2020: EUR 18,999
15 October 2020: EUR 19,604

We get there, slowly but surely. At least the amount goes up! Had quite an expensive month with payment for sports classes for the kids, new glasses for DD and some other one-off's. Hope to be able to stash away more next month.

@okcisok and @Serendip, still you managed to keep your net worth steady, which is a great accomplishment!
@Sanitary Engineer: congrats!!!! You are a good example for all of us.
@mountain mustache, @catlady @NikkiO : welcome! Hope you find inspiring stories here. It is a long road to hit your first 100K, but as long as we keep going up and keep adding to the balance, we're better off than many.

94.093 €
+ 3.620 €

Somehow I managed to save an additional 1.200 € last month, in addition to pay ~1k for flat maintenance.
Unless there is a major bear market, I feel confident to make it to 100k this year :-).

Oct 2019- $1000
Nov 2019- $2340
Dec 2019- $2779
Jan 2020- $5658
Feb 2020- $5539
Mar 2020- $5024
Apr 2020- $5444
May 2020- $8302  (wherein I finally got some of unemployment)
June 2020- $20864 (wherein I got more unemployment plus the EIDL)
mid July 2020- $31724 (got the rest of the backpay, woohoo!)
7/31/20- $33340
9/2/20- $36366
9/17/20 - $42978
10/2/20- $43800
10/16/20- $47126

I started 3 new jobs and they have paid me!  One of them is crazy, extra $560+ a week in CASH (sometimes they tip) I was not expecting at all.  Workload super easy for now but I know it will get harder.  It still is encouraging, since I have to drive a good deal and I don't love that (at least my car gets great gas mileage).  I am definitely pushing myself now to fill up my solo401k regular contribution maybe even end of month (funded $14k of $19.5k.  I will deposit another $4k probably this week when my payroll is available.).  Shoot, maybe even maxing my owner contribution by end of year (20%) is possible.  Fingers crossed not just for wealth, but the good health I need to get through it. 

I can't believe I've stashed nearly $50k in one year, since I've made $20k a year or less the rest of my life except the last one (~$32k tho AGI was less with contributions and such)

I have checked my numbers and I am closer to 100k than I thought!
As of today, 17 October 2020, I have
$41,914 - 401k
  2,376 - ESPP
 13,098 - Roth IRA
 23,209 - taxable brokerage
  3,258 - checkign

Total: $83,855

I started my job in June 2019 with <$10k in savings, so I have impressed myself! I am immensely grateful the Bank of Mom and Dad for allowing me to graduate without loans.

My N/W has risen by £1,630.94 to a new total of £36,622.26

I think the markets have helped, but I also received slightly more pay than I've been getting since COVID started.  I'm happy my current account is back over £500 and my next mini goal is to get it back above £1k.   

If I keep up this pace I should hit my target of £40k by the end of the year.

Hoping you're all keeping safe and making progress. :)

Good luck and lots of health to all the participants and readers on here!

It's been a year since I started posting in the race! I wonder what 2 years in will look like...

Goals for 2020:

No progress this month. As expected I had a lot of costs. On top of what I had already planned for I also had to pay about €400 of healthcare costs, some of which where unexpected (I knew I had to have this done eventually but didn't know when). Started my driving lessons, have not been inside an actual car yet but spent about €100 so far for the intake, the theory exam + textbook to prepare for the exam. Practical lessons will start in about a month. I'm labelling all expenses for my license in my budgeting app but I'm not sure I really want to know how much it costs...

This month was a fun one with the market going down right at the end and expenses just popping up.  But it is only a small backtrack and I'm sure with the next month we can get back on track in a positive direction.

Yahhhhh 20% to my FIRE number in just one year, OMGBBQTURNIP! 

I had a lot of side work for cash this month in addition to the 2 new jobs (one of which is slowly building).  I'm $2500 away from maxing my solo401k employee contribution which I am very stoked about.  I don't think it will be any problem at all to max the 20% employer contribution too, woo hoo!

One of my side cash gigs is finishing for a while, she went out of the country.  I'm thinking work will slow again into the winter (it does anyway) especially with COVID numbers going down and political and COVID shut downs starting to happen again in my city.  So I'm really glad to have stashed and also really glad that one of my jobs is straight hourly (most of my work is gigs or compensation-based).

A good news tho is I have two more cards eligible for tradelines.  I have been doing every other month on most of them just to not put any more eyes on stuff than needs to.

I spent more this month than any month that did not include international travel expenses. Most of this was expected spending, but my groceries have been creeping up for a while, which I'd like to address.

Kinda hoping I can hit 66k this year just to keep my alliteration streak going.

10/1/2020: $53,926.77
11/1/2020: $61,241.09

That's way more progress than I expected this month -- it was a three-paycheck month, which I guess made up for the crappy markets since I was able to put more toward my student loans. Kind of nice too that an extra paycheck's worth of retirement contributions entered the markets when they were down a little.

Another good savings month. Stocks took a downturn but the small crypto position did surprisingly well and more than offset that. Just missed the goal of 30k for 2020, but barring a major stock market downturn after the election I'll reach it next month. Cancelled christmas vacation due to Coronavirus so savings in the winter will be higher than expected as well. Would much rather go skiing though...

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 2020 is to make it to $75K.

Down a little bit this month. We are actually in the process of buying another home and then we are going to rent out our current home so quite a bit of expenses for that last month and then we will have closing this month. Hoping we can sell enough stuff as our side hustle to be able to pay for a decent portion of our closing.

Investments went up substantially, one domain sale kicked in, so on the revenue side everything seems fine.
On the other hand, savings rate was an abysmal 40%, owing to the purchase of home furniture and home office stuff, Christmas presents and lots and lots of vitamins and anti-covid stuff for us and our families. We could buy almost everything with a large discount, so SR should improve in the next two months substantially (back to 65+%).

The plus side is that I ordered so many books in the past couple of months that were missing from my collection, that 1) my collection is almost complete, and 2) while decluttering a room I realized how hoarding books affect my life in a negative way, so I don't want to buy any new books in the next few months.

Above 35,000 :)
Bonus for Christmas and a tax-free COVID-relief over the next two paychecks is going to put me around 40,000 unless markets dump.
Christmas 2018 i had next to nothing. Reasonably happy with the progress, although worried i may come across as stingy on occasion. Rock bottom mentality still haunting me.

I feel this. I grew up poor and I'm used to worrying about money and that has never really left me, even though in almost any community other than the FIRE one, I'd be considered to be very comfortable financially.

I've been continuing to put surplus income into renovations of my recently purchased home while also adding a small portion of my income to savings. I have one more large purchase this month and then I will be back to my normal savings rate of nearly 50% of my income. I have not include my home equity in this total and will continue not to do so, though equity is now at roughly 35K.  I'm looking forward to growing my stash once again! Congrats to those of you that have moved on from this thread.

Yo yo yo, halfway to $100k!

Oct 2019- $1000
Nov 2019- $2340
Dec 2019- $2779
Jan 2020- $5658
Feb 2020- $5539
Mar 2020- $5024
Apr 2020- $5444
May 2020- $8302  (wherein I finally got some of unemployment)
June 2020- $20864 (wherein I got more unemployment plus the EIDL)
mid July 2020- $31724 (got the rest of the backpay, woohoo!)
7/31/20- $33340
9/2/20- $36366
9/17/20 - $42978
10/2/20- $43800
10/31/20- $47854
11/11/20- $53709

The one housecall I've been doing on the side for cash that they give me $$$ for has for the last 4 sessions added an extra amount to do a 2nd person.  WTF- $700 a week cash.  It will be through middle to end of December now.  And I'm happy bc they are doing great.
Another side cash gig ended, but that's ok and she's doing well (only $60/week).  I got paid finally for a couple music gigs I had in September and October.
New jobs are ok so far...getting there.  The one that is more disorganized spoke to me about doing 2 more shifts starting in Jan, I told them we will see.  They aren't sure yet the person will leave, but they think she will.
I scored a weekly music gig in Dec, really looking up.  I wish my boyfriend was feeling better (unemployed/depressed since March), but at least I am catching up to him so we can get out of the rat race sooner.  The last thing I would want is for him to have to worry about me financially, dude's got enough on his plate.
Feel like I finally have a good handle on my investments and seeing the rise...yeah yeah, I know markets are going up, I just like my diversification right now with a couple picks on the side.

Tracking investments, emergency fund and additional pension investments (all to be used to retire together with SO!)
(not tracking company pension investments, house value and current accounts)

15 May 2020: EUR 17,034
15 Jun 2020: EUR 18,160
15 July 2020: EUR 18,809
5 August 2020: EUR 18,332
10 September 2020: EUR 18,999
15 October 2020: EUR 19,604
13 November 2020: EUR 22,707

Nice increase this month and above EUR 20K!. I calculated the amount I could add on a tax free basis to my additional pension account and funded that from our current account. Next month the last bit (hopefully) and the tax free account for this year is then totally funded! That will account for a nice 2020 tax refund in 2021!

Coming month will be tight with holiday spending (try to keep it down as much as possible) and providing extra meals to our parents (who were COVID affected, but on their way to recovery!).

@Lelyy : congrats!!!
@dizzy: halfway sounds soooooo good. I'm just hoping to be there in 2-3 years (trying to save around EUR 10K every year).
@Tinker and @Stubblestache : I totally feel it. While we're doing much better than the average, I still feel that worry in my head that we might be hit in the back by financial problems.

Only 7 weeks of 2020 left. Let's see if we can end this year with a nice big plus!

Today is the first day I get to post here! This year I have finally paid off about $25k of medical debt that I've been working away at over the past 3 years. I finally feel like I am on the right track, and building some savings and getting to keep ALL of the money I earn. My goal is to get to $100k in the next 10 years, and also buy my first small home.

10/02/2020- $14835.83

11/13/2020- $16110.56

July 1: $94,885
August 1: $99,157
September 1: $96,161
October 1: $92,650
November 1: $94,512
November 14: $101,023

Some of the jump was making this month's credit card payment, some was market fluctuations. I'll hold off on making the jump to the next thread until I see what happens with the market.

96.957 €
+ 2.864 €

I had no out-of-the-ordinary savings this month. I added 1.412€ and got the same in increased values... Nice :)
Still on my way to 100.000 € by the end of the year. I expect a small X-Mas bonus and the re-evaluation of my Unit-Linked Life Insurance. That alone should let me make the jump... We will see.

I checked my ISA this morning. 

When the markets dropped earlier in the year I was 23% down on what I'd paid in.  Today I'm up 20% overall.  They're only modest amounts compared to some people on this forum, but none the less it's been a crazy year.

Same here. I'm not sure what the lowest low was exactly, it was somewhere in late March when several members of my family had Covid. But I opened thid account 1 Jan 2016 and I'm at +35% overall now. That's a steady 7% a year. I remember the morning after the Brexit referendum. I had only been investing for a few months and I was massively in the red and now that blip is literally invisble in the graph. Even the Covid dip will look tiny in a few years.

It's especially impressive when you consider the impact Brexit has had.  If it were a smooth, sensible transition, I wouldn't have been surprised.  But considering our government are making a pigs ear out of leaving the EU, I'd have expected European/British stocks to struggle.  I guess it shows that you can't predict the stock market in any scenario!

Hope things are ok in Holland btw!

Just set up the baseline contribution to my portfolio for next year. Two months early.
52% of every net paycheck will go straight to my freedom fund, up from 50% this year.

Plus whatever part of the remainder i can get away with not spending throughout the year, of course.

That's great.  Any saving rate of over 50% is really impressive when compared to the wider world.
