We did it! We did it! We became a household of half millionaires! Which is like being 0.25 of the way to being each FI, or 0.33 towards being household FI!

Pretty impressive quarter, since we "loaned" MIL $16k as well.

Radagast out!

[Radagast]

Hello all! our household hit $250k during March and are excited to start the next leg of our journey! It took 20 months to go from $100-$250k, and current projections show a little over three years to hit the next milestone.

Great job DadJokes! I remember the heady days of graduating to this race, projecting when I would cross the finish line. Actually no I mostly don't, they are lost in a haze of work and adapting from life in a small town to an apartment in a big city. But I remember that it happened! Good luck in your race!

An incredible ride. I don't expect this to continue in the future. I could very well be back in this thread soon if the market pulls back. On to the next one.

Hi all!

Making the jump up from the 100K to 250K thread.

I've broken out the numbers into individual and joint (with DW) net worth. We do not own a house (yet), so numbers reflect cash/equivalents and retirement accounts. Our only debt is whatever is currently on our credit cards, which gets paid off each month. Below are our numbers, dating back to when we first joined the last thread. Initially it was my own journey, but at this stage in my marriage it made sense to report the joint numbers which I had already been tracking.

I'm right there with you! I just hit $440K and have been trending $15-20K a month. I'm counting down the days to the next race.

Here's to hoping we both keep up this sort of pace.

1/01/21 - $400,149
2/14/21 - $427,486 (+$27,337)
3/01/21 - $443,490 (+$43,341)
3/19/21 - $451,670 (+$51,521)
3/31/21 - $458,005 (+$57,856)

Projected out, need to do $41,995 by October ($6,999 per month) - should be doable, but hoping with this pace we can move that goal up to August, maybe even July.

Joining the race!  Along with other recent graduates from the 100-250K thread : )

I don't own property, so this is just investments, in my name only (not my partner's).  A lot is up in the air right now with my job(s), so I have no idea how long it will take me to reach 500K, but my original goal was 300K by 2025, so I'm well along the way.

Last time I posted in this forum I was in the 50k to 100k race. Thankful that I am now eligible to be in this thread now!

I started tracking my NW seriously in 2019 so here has been my progression. Percentages are the growth from line to line.

Vested NW Growth                      Growth
NW on 1/1/19:             $79,228.00   
NW on 7/10/19:           $146,130.42   84.44%
NW on 2/13/20:           $177,847.14   21.70%
NW on 8/25/20:            $200,806.00   12.91%
NW on 12/31/20:    $250,785.43   24.89%
NW on 4/19/21:            $300,750.94   19.92%

Not sure if I'll remain at 300k for two reasons: market could dip and push me below and I'll have some cash coming out for a wedding in 2022. No biggie, though. I'm very happy with the growth since 2019.

~$1,200/month in automated savings (401K and HSA) in addition to mortgage. As our cash balance balloons we periodically make contributions to Roth's, 529's, etc.

Mar 2021 - we hit $531K. Moving on to the next challenge!

Been a banner year for NW, not expecting nearly as many big jumps in 2021. Should be graduating in January, maybe February if the market dips.

Did not update this, but I hit 500k shortly after. Currently at about 600k due to stocks and the housing market in NYC suburbs going absolutely bananas. See you all at $1m!!

Thanks! I hope you join us soon in the race from 500K - 1M. I see you're in Houston, Bayou Dweller - We live in the northern suburbs. Nice to have another mustachian in the vicinity.

My pension rollover landed in my tIRA today so I am posting a midmonth update to announce that I am officially graduating from this thread. My house is going on the market next weekend so I probably won't stay in the next thread very long (who knows, that could be famous last words).  We also made 8K in the last two months from selling junk that we had around the house and property.

Forward HO!

"A rising tide lifts all ships." It was a pretty awesome feeling to surpass the $400k in investments but the feeling only last for a day or two then it was right back to reality. Sometimes I wonder, what number will I really feel excited to celebrate? Or will I always be chasing the bigger number?

4/30/21 - $475,833 (+$75,684)

Projected out, need to do $24,167 by October ($4,833 per month) to hit my initial goal - but think we can make June a reality if things keep chugging along.

~$12k increases in back-to-back months feels absurd. We're only contributing ~3,500/month + 2.5% home appreciation (~$700 in April).

Those are the kinds of gains I expect when we're FI. The market is crazy right now.

Just graduated from the 100-250k last month.  Excited to be here!

My projections have me graduating ~early 2024, but I'm sure there will be plenty of chaos between now and then.

Received a small “inheritance” last month. My grandfather’s wife (not my grandmother) had his only daughter (my mom) written out of his will entirely, and sent a check to my brother and I, basically to keep us from contesting it at probate. Very long story behind all of it, but bottom line is that out of a seven-figure estate, I received $5k.

At the end of all of it, I’m ultimately grateful that I was close to my grandfather, had a good relationship with him, and got to be at his bedside in his final days. He’s with his redeemer now and in peace. The bitterness and greed of his wife is something she has to live with daily. She got her one last middle finger to my family, but now we are free.
