01/08/2019: €10.485.05

31/05/2020: €21.280,05

I have been pretty AWOL from this forum and this thread, since I have had a few years with limited employment and life happening. I am glad to see that I am back where I started XD. Its a couple of days early, but these seem to be the numbers for now:

November 22: € 21,636.38 +€ 972.77.

This is a very good month and I have been very diligent with the budget. Also we have received a high energy prices subsidie from the governement, which helps a lot.

01/01/2023: € 22,315.45 +€ 679.07

I put a lot of money into savings this month, but the market didn't help. I also prepaid a whole year of health insurance, which was about another 1250, so I am pretty pleased with the end of the year. IN part due to unsuspected bonus from the boss. Love me some bonus.

December$11.1k   $22.4k   $44.6k   $75.0k   $100.3k$94.7k

Over a year after first, briefly touching $100k, and over 5 years after first entering this race, today I am leaving with $103.3k!

The jump is helped partly by my new, higher income, but significantly more by market gains following a year of chucking money in despite seeing no return.

ETA my first post in this thread:

Joining for the new year, and I'll probably be here for a while... As of this month I am debt-free and I'm narrowly on-track to max out my ROTH by April. My spreadsheet says I won't hit 100k until 2024.

I'm not going to join the next race because I'm planning to combine finances with my partner in a few months anyway, but it feels good to have hit this milestone all on my own. Thanks for the camaraderie everyone!

Tracking cash savings and liquid investments (so excluding pensions and house value and my DH cash savings, since he has his own account which I'm not tracking)

December 2020: EUR 25,141
December 2021: EUR 40,501
December 2022: EUR 50,344

January 2023: EUR 52,461


Goal for 2023: EUR 60K

Very good month. The markets were really good! Since we have booked several flights/accomodations for our holidays and it needs to be paid in February, next month I expect a movement downwards. But still on track to the goal for 2023.

@Serendip: I will cheer with you. You are getting so close to the 6 figure number. Keep up the savings!

@Tass: Graduation is 1 year earlier than you expected when joining the thread. Impressive!!!! Now the next stop is getting to 200 together with your partner!

@LittleWanderer: a new high! This gives energy to get to even more new highs in the next months.

First time there were 2 green months in a row since last April. Savings were roughly negative 1 k€ in January though, as we had some expected spending due to the move in February.

My largest single month increase, my new personnel high for net worth, and oh so close to graduating this thread. Unless there is a big down turn in the market I should be graduating from this thread next month with a bit of buffer. It is exciting for me to see such large increases and it almost feels surreal! Congrats to everyone else as it appears many of you had exceptional months as well!

Real progress!  Partly the market and partly executing the plan.  And partly my husband really getting fully on board for the first time.  He’s doing awesome.  We’re on track to finish filling the IRAs for last year before the cutoff.

My largest single month increase, my new personnel high for net worth, and oh so close to graduating this thread. Unless there is a big down turn in the market I should be graduating from this thread next month with a bit of buffer. It is exciting for me to see such large increases and it almost feels surreal! Congrats to everyone else as it appears many of you had exceptional months as well!

Awesome!

Nice result this month, due to the market moving quite a bit. Didn't save as much money as I hoped, but I am stockpiling money for a bigger hobby-expense. Trying to stay strict with myself for that one.

I’ve been focusing on investing over paying off debts in my 4 years of saving. We’ve built a nice nest egg that should buy us a few years without employment if needed. I will track my net worth here, excluding house equity.

2/3/23: $7,700 - first time positive since getting married

Ay carumba.

This month was a big push to put money into RRSP's before the deadline combined with the fact that I'm in a no-buy/low-buy year
(also bought & paid off plane tickets for June).  I didn't make all this money in one month, some was moved out of little emergency accounts that weren't counted in this challenge before (ie..an envelope with cash and a little hidden-from-me online fund..ha) but am still feeling inspired.

Tracking cash savings and liquid investments (so excluding pensions and house value and my DH cash savings, since he has his own account which I'm not tracking)

December 2020: EUR 25,141
December 2021: EUR 40,501
December 2022: EUR 50,344

January 2023: EUR 52,461
February 2023: EUR 50,213


Goal for 2023: EUR 60K

This is the downwards movement that I planned for. Paid all outstanding travel expenses (we will travel in April, May AND July.....) and paid off all credit cards, so from now on it's upwards only for the rest of the year (hopefully.....).

@M5 : congrats! You made it!
@regenaeb : I feel the same. I make my regular contributions, but markets are slow....... I keep waiting for the market to recover.....

In terms of savings this was a better month than last month, more than 30%! But in Jan, the market helped and in Feb they stayed flat. So it seems like the previous one was better.

All in all a good month. I also got the news that my parents will help me buy a house, which is fantastic. Its gonna eat a lot of this liquid money, but I'll be able to buy a home :D despite being a single earner.

01/03/2023: 60.002,28 € (+ 355,61 €)

Another tiny step in the right direction. Markets took another downturn and we bought the kitchen of the previous renters in our new place. My share of that was close to 2k €, so actually quite happy that the numbers still went up this month (some of the cost was offset by selling the kitchen in the old place, but that one was crappy and way less €€). We finished our move last weekend. February was really hectic with renovating the new place to be fit to move in, so I'm looking forward to some months just coasting along.

Hi :) I think this is my first post in this thread.   I am at $87,800.  Getting close! :)  All my assets are currently fixed income, home equity etc. so it will be a steady ride.

Good job to everyone else as well.

Looking at my net worth over the last three years always makes me feel very accomplished.

May 15, 2020: $5,972
March 31, 2023: $72,766.

Most of that is real estate value from buying a house at a very good price at a very good time, but I still feel pretty good about it.

That said, the last year has been pretty static and it's time to get much more serious about socking away cash.

Tracking cash savings and liquid investments (so excluding pensions and house value and my DH cash savings, since he has his own account which I'm not tracking)

December 2020: EUR 25,141
December 2021: EUR 40,501
December 2022: EUR 50,344

January 2023: EUR 52,461
February 2023: EUR 50,213
March 2023: EUR 51,197


Goal for 2023: EUR 60K

Just a nice and steady month. Nothing major happening, just the regular additions to the accounts. April will be challenging, since we will be travelling a little and I will try to stick to the budget!
Did all the taxes in March, so hoping to get a nice refund in april, although that will be used to repay our mortgage (which is not in this overview).

@TyGuy : CONGRATS!!!!! You made it!

Decent month last month, even though I spend a lot on hobby items. The next 3 months are going to be "sav, save, save" as I am in the process of buying a home. My total net worth is going to go up a lot soon, but that will be due to my parents gifting towards my house. Its a bit weird. They are giving more than I am worth in all the world (monetarily). But I realize I am incredibly lucky to have the help and support. Up and Up.

Well, of all things! Super excited to reach this goal. Amazed really.

The next few months will be very slow income-wise due to dental work, time off, travel & all the life stuff so will hesitantly bump myself into the next race..will need to get a bit more of a buffer before I feel like I actually truly have graduated. All the best to everyone!  :)

Congrats! that is a massive achievement! The first hundred is the hardest I hear all the time. Anything you are doing to celebrate?

Thanks @Trifele & @Treedream !

The mental hurdle might be the hardest component of that first 100k--my family talks a lot about their lack of finances :)

Could've made better choices along the way (I can veer either austere or spendy; also took poor advice from a friend and lost a chunk *should've known better*) but I'm celebrating by being proud of this and aiming onwards & upwards.

You and I have been on a very similar pace to get to $100,000 and our timing of dips and market issues has been step for step. I just got paid today and my Mint says about $99,500, but with a mortgage coming out and a few other things to be paid I figured i'd better wait until the next paycheck to cross myself off of this thread. Congrats to you, i'm coming in right behind ya! My buffer situation is a little different. I've been battling to get that $100k figure, but as soon as I do it on my own I'm going to finally start counting an ESOP from my employer as i'm about to be fully vested, and there's a little bit of money in there that will officially be mine, so i'll leapfrog up the totem pole a little bit once that happens. But again I just wanted to do the 100k on my own first! Congrats again!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
