Graduated from race to 100k. So might as well start tracking.

January 2019 81.8k
February 2019 93.2k
March 2019 98.3k
April 2019 108.3k
May 2019 111.9k
June 2019 108.4k
July 2019 117k

Not sure what a realistic timeframe to 250k would be. Hopefully within Jan 2021.

Welp, back for my annual checkup as I remember that this exists.
Odd not keeping track on a monthly basis. Everything is so automatic at this point.

July 2020 $189.5k

Still hoping that the market moves me to 250k by Jan of next year. Wishful thinking.

Markets helped out his month, but savings was low, largely due to 3K worth of construction supplies for an outbuilding I'm putting up in the backyard.  The only purchase left on that will be siding, glass, paint and locksets.  I'm holding out hope that I can graduate by year end, but I'll really need to buckle down through the last third of the year.

Received a few bonuses this month. Also got engaged, so progress will be slowed down some over the next year with some money going towards that. Its very hard to to get married reasonably in the traditional sense unless you cut a bunch of corners/DIY. I think fiance and myself came to a compromise we can both be satisfied with. Bonus - will get 50K + bump when it becomes official!

YAY!! We have graduated from this race and moving on to the next. It took us 30 months. We learned that discipline and regular contribution to our investment portfolio has been the key.
It has been a fun rollercoaster ride past couple years. Good luck to everyone and see you all in the next race.

 GRADUATION!!! It took me 30 months to complete this race. At times it seemed like a crawl, but overall pleased with my progress. Keep up the good work everyone, and don’t get discouraged. No matter how small, all contributions add up over the long run.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

The big jumps are somewhat misleading. I have a lot of stock options at my current job which are vesting every month. We're privately owned, so it's all funny money, but I expect us to sell in the next 2-3 years. Based on current projections, our value jumped from $10/share to $15/share so I updated my tracker to reflect that. While that was the biggest jump, I still saw 6% growth overall from direct investments and gains throughout the month, so it's not just funny money.

Still, it's pretty exciting to see my FIRE nest egg growing in a down market. I made some pretty aggressive changes in April and so far they've paid off. I expect the markets to trade sideways through the end of year as we wait for a vaccine. Even so, with my options plus my ongoing investments into my 401K, Roth IRA, and taxable accounts, I expect solid continued growth through the end of year. I hope to be at $200K by January.

Market correction really helped me out this month! Which is nice since I've now been officially unemployed for a month. Now the challenge: what can I save on unemployment while job searching (when I actually start getting unemployment checks, that is) and moving in 4 weeks. At least the rent will be cheaper!

I’m jumping in this thread with a few ideas and thoughts in mind. I don’t plan to add house equity or extras like that. I’m not even going to add the spouse’s 401k. I’ll be solely tracking
My 401k and my Roth IRA Numbers to go toward the goal of $250k. I may add the savings account numbers later, but most of that pays toward the last of my mortgage and a basement remodel right now.

My stats:

Jul2019 — $101953
Aug2019 — $106277
Sep2019 — $111050
Oct2019 — $114791
Nov2019 — $120215
Dec2019 — $122692
Jan2020 — $120521
Feb2020 — $123625
Mar2020 — $124248
Apr2020 — $133240
May2020 — $145475
Jun2020 — $143581
Jul2020 — $151652


Numbers updated thru the last day of the month.  Nice increase!  Roughly a $50k increase in 12 months.

Keeping it rolling

[Jim Fiction]

Hi all! Finally joining this thread after spending a few years in the 10K to 100K thread. Here's my history from that thread:

9/29/17 - $11,511
6/30/18 - $36,000
1/31/19 - $53,028
6/30/2019 - $75,757
12/31/2019 - $96,225
1/31/2020 - $96,048
2/29/2020 - $94,556
3/31/2020 - $92,438
4/30/2020 - $101,897

This was previously just my personal net worth, however with the graduation I've decided to move to household net worth, so Mrs. Fiction gets to join the fun too. It makes too much sense at this point, given how intertwined our finances have become.

Background - I'm 35 and my wife is 31. DD is two and we have another on the way this summer. Looking to buy a house around this time next year.

Total joint net worth as of 4/30/2020 is $203,198. We are debt-free outside of whatever is on our credit cards, which always get paid each month.

With some market cooperation, some inspiration and some hard work (and some luck!) We just might be able to graduate this thread by the end of the year.

Looking forward to following along with everyone's progress!

$4,000 in car repairs kept this from being a stellar month. Still, happy with our progress.

I’m jumping in this thread with a few ideas and thoughts in mind. I don’t plan to add house equity or extras like that. I’m not even going to add the spouse’s 401k. I’ll be solely tracking
My 401k and my Roth IRA Numbers to go toward the goal of $250k. I may add the savings account numbers later, but most of that pays toward the last of my mortgage and a basement remodel right now.

My stats:

Jul2019 — $101953
Aug2019 — $106277
Sep2019 — $111050
Oct2019 — $114791

Apr2020 — $133240
May2020 — $145475
Jun2020 — $143581
Jul2020 — $151652


Numbers updated thru the last day of the month.  Nice increase!  Roughly a $50k increase in 12 months.

Nice! I am like you, I don't plan to add all that other stuff until I graduate from this thread. If there isn't at least 250K in investments for me, the other stuff is too volatile and it'll leave me feeling disheartened watching it month-over-month.

I got to zero out the liabilities column from the first paycheck of July and had a good bit of extra money in the second paycheck, so I was really hoping to hit $130k, but I'll take it.  This is the first time that I really feel like compound interest is really starting to show.

Another solid month.  We also hit 100k in investments for the first time, the rest is in cash/CD's.  I don't know why, but for some reason that is really exciting!!

[rachellynn99]

We are at 191,094 in networth. Much more than that in assets, but trying to pay off some debt and such currently.

It would be a stretch but I'm hoping to get to $250k by end of year...

[frapa]

Started at about 113k€ this february, went down to less that 100k€ due to market, Nnow up to 125k€ in August (about 147k$).

It'll take a while to 250k...

[cassafrass]

Hi everyone! I'm jumping into this thread a few months late. We hit 100k back in April but I haven't been closely tracking finances for the past several months.

About me: I'm a married 38 y.o. female and work as an academic scientist. I'm including our combined finances plus our home equity in our net worth. We live in a MCOL city and have 2 little kiddos. When I first discovered MMM, I tried to live as a pretty strict Mustachian, but have definitely loosened up my purse strings a bit in recent months. However, I'd say that my family is pretty frugal compared to the average. We live in an old, small house, drive used cars and generally aren't big consumers.

Our biggest recent financial development: After getting furloughed during the shut down, my husband decided to permanently ditch his job and start his own business. We had to invest a few thousand in startup costs which explains our net loss back in June.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

I went to the beach this past weekend and it was a great and fairly inexpensive way to reconnect with my family while keeping our distance. I bought a reusable cooler for $25 and will need to buy an umbrella eventually, but packing food and drinks from home made the trip fairly inexpensive. Other than that one outing, I have been spending minimally. I've still been eating out a bit more than I'd like to, but overall my spending has been in check and for items that I need. My dog is doing a lot better, my food expenses are fairly low since cutting animal products, and everything else has been going fairly well!
