I started 5 years ago with about negative $40k net worth (crippling student loans). A couple months ago I checked my net worth and found I was at a net worth of $108k. The last year or so it's felt like my net worth has started increasing faster and faster. While it used to be I'd struggle to increase NW by $2k/month, I'm now pretty consistently hitting $2,500, $3,000, or $4,000 a month. Part of that is a higher salary, but a lot is due to compound interest working for me rather than against me.
Another big thing is getting your finances automated and turning expenses into savings. We bought a house a year ago, so about half of what we used to pay in rent goes to paying down mortgage principal. That sort of thing helps. Between automatic 401k and HSA contributions and automatic student loan and mortgage payments, my net worth goes up $2k/month even if I spend 100% of my take home pay that month. So lots of months I'll feel like I barely saved anything because I had to struggle to put another $500 or $1k into my IRA, then I'll check my NW and realize that I automatically saved 2-4 times that just based on what was already set up.
So depending on your net worth when you started, you should start noticing a difference in a couple years or so.
