How much has your Net Worth increased since starting MMM?

(1/85) > >>

Tyson:
So, how much more are you worth today, vs when you first started doing MMM?  I'll go first.  I found MMM in 2015 at 43 years old, after a brutal layoff that took me 9 months to find a new job and blew threw all my liquid savings except for my 401k.  Sooo here's my #'s:

2015 Net Worth - $131,000

2017 Net Worth - $338,000


Holy cow, I can hardly believe it.  And it wasn't even that hard to do, mainly just a matter of getting my shit in order so I stopped wasting the truckloads of cash I'd been burning through every month for most of my life.

I apparently joined the forum in October of 2013.  According to my spreadsheet, our net worth was:

October 2013 - $200,000
September 2017 - $625,400

So a little more than tripled in that time.  Good market returns + some expense reductions + increased income has made the NW rise quite rapid.

Jenny1974:
$856,000 August 2013
$1,710,000 as of today

So approximately doubled (or increased $854,000)

Wow!

Roe:
Noting only the things that have changed here.

Start:
Car loan         6k
CC debt       2.5k

Investments 40k

Now
Car loan        0k
CC debt         0k

Investments   48k

Started about 3 months ago, 16.5k increase in nw in that time. Our savings rate have gone up each month, with what feels like close to none effort.

Amazing.

Lan Mandragoran:
30k to 48k~ since February.

That's including some rather insane expenses, like buying a new house, new roof, moving, lots of random new stuff to make the new house livable (working stove for example), and the ongoing repairs on said house.

If your on these forums you're pretty lucky imo :)(not that this site isn't self selected a bit of course).  When I consider the fact that in 9 years of being an adult I put away about about 30k of wealth, and in 7 months post MMM we put away more than half of that. On one averageish income... with a kid... while acquiring a new house... its just maximum plaid(use your googlefu ;) ).
