Got back from my trip, and opened Personal Capital to see a net worth of $100,555.32. Wow.
The number isn't really real because I owe my wife for my half of July rent and our vacation expenses, but I still wanted to mark the moment. We'll see if I can get it back up again by 8/1.
For context: I'm 30 in a HCOL city. I'm married, but these are my own numbers since we keep our finances separate. Includes cash, retirement, and credit cards, which are used for normal expenses and paid off in full every month.

I'm still above $100k! Very happy. I thought I wouldn't get there until the end of the year. I try to focus on my contributions, not count on the market, but it has really accelerated things as I get more and more invested. I'm going to consider myself graduated. Even if the market dips next month, it's a 3-paycheck month so my contributions will be higher to offset it.
