Yikes, this one could take a while:
Mortgage: -216,524 (30 yr at 3.75%)
Taxable: 113,056
Net debt equals -103,468

I assume you're attacking this the most efficient way by funding the taxable account and not paying down the debt

Auto loan (4 yr, 0%): $16,490.78

Why the heck would you make extra payments on an interest-free loan? Even a simply savings account would be a better use of funds!

I have the same interest rate on my mortgage and I wouldn't recommend paying extra on that either. See the Investment Order post.

Edit: In re-reading the original post it seems you may be investing in taxable to get it above the sum of your debts. I approve of this method.

Yes, I never said I was making extra payments on a zero percent car loan! When I bought the car I was planning to pay cash, but after negotiations were over the saleman said, "Hey, if you have good credit you could get a zero percent loan." When someone hands me hundreds of dollars for free, I generally take it.

I am not surprised boarder42 has weighed in. Part of the purpose of the thread is to highlight the value of working both sides of the ledger. But you still need to make scheduled debt payments!

Definitely a fun goal, I'll officially join too. Shouldn't take more than a year to be positive. In theory with normal market returns we could be positive in half a year.

Mortgage: $163k
Porsche: $42k

Total debt: $205k

Vanguard brokerage: $168k

Net: ($37k)

Thanks for the clarification and sorry for jumping to conclusions. Our car loan is at 1.69%, which is already practically free money!

Almost all our savings is in tax-advantaged accounts, so our case isn't terribly interesting.

Mortgage: ~$64k
After-tax: ~$62k

Yes, the bulk of my assets are also in tax advantaged, but I posted this to track difference between debts and liquid assets that are readily available to service them. I sort of view the taxable portfolio as a "sinking fund" that could be used to retire debt, but until it exceeds the value of the debt, actually doing so would lead to a loss of liquidity and potentially greater investment returns. And once it does exceed...well, actually paying off the debt would lead to a loss of liquidity and potentially greater investment returns. In truth, I might just be a weirdo who likes to track things.

Yes, I think so.  :)

But even to those for whom (certain) debt is viewed as a tool to grow wealth, the presence of enough liquidity to...liquidate debt is probably a comfort -- a hedge against a change in circumstances that would make holding debt less desirable.

This looks like a fun one to get in on. Most of my accounts are tax advantaged.

Mortgage $171,460
Auto 0%  $29,469
Total debt $200,930

Taxable $151,681

Net -$49,249

I suppose I could take my emergency fund and invest it in taxable and complete this challenge, but my wife likes the security of having the cash. I'm trying to convince her to at least move it to Ally so we lose less money from inflation. Still will be fun to try to work on investing more to taxable though.

Maybe I don't want to move the goal-post here, but I'm thinking you don't want balances to offset, you actually want cash flow. So you win this game when 4% of your net assets would be enough to keep your debts current for the year?

(Don't worry, CC is paid off each month, but there is a "balance" on the last day of the month.)
I'm not including our credit cards because they are paid from checking/savings accounts and not from our invested brokerage account.

Hmm - I'm confused. I pay my mortgage from my checking/savings account - can I discount that too ;)

Or, to re-word this. Assuming either I go crazy and decide all debt is bad, or I start living off investments, either way, I'll have to pay the mortgage and credit cards from my investments. But as long as I have (active) income streaming into my checking, that's paying both. So I don't understand your distinction.

I also just want to have enough in investments to cover "all" debt (obviously, at a point in time, with things improving forever after), so I just thought I'd be happier to have "all" that when I complete this challenge, rather than "almost" all that, but not counting some CC debt that happens to be sitting there.

Hmm, true. I guess I just view credit card balance as a temporary offset against checking/savings while the mortgage and car loan are ongoing (and actually costing interest). To be completely accurate you would want to include both credit cards and checking/savings in the calculation.

This is a MUCH SAFER approach to killing mortgage debt than paying down the mortgage quickly.     Bravo to you all!

One of these is an income producing property?  If so (and assuming it's making a profit including costs for future repairs and vacancies), I would ignore that mortgage for this calculation.

Focus on getting non-income producing debt gone.   The profit-making property will take care of itself.

I'm gonna sidle on in here as one of the little peanuts in this thread....

Taxable: $0
Debt: $28,396.63

I just got to the point this last year where I had a positive net worth, my EF fully funded, my car loan paid off, and my HSA and my 401k maxed. This next year, I'd like to max the HSA and 401k, start and max a Roth IRA, and (stretch goals!) start contributing to a taxable account. Doing that would be about half my take-home income.

We are not to the point of starting to put money into taxable but I would love to see our investments overshadow our debts, without consideration for equity, so I like this tracking measure.

I am going to include retirement accounts (401k, IRA x2, solo 401k).  We are still working towards maxing all these out, one of these days we will get there and can move to taxable (but that will probably be several years from now).

Our Debt: 189,160
Rental Debt: 127,721 (it is a debt, income producing but still a debt)
Taxable: 0
Retirement: 114,767

Net Investments:
11/30/2018: 202,112

Haha, right? I've been making contributions to my taxable brokerage account on a quarterly basis, that's why September was so good. In January those funds will go to our Roth IRAs instead. I figured 6 months of average growth ($8k) plus 6 payments per loan ($11k) plus one quarterly brokerage addition in March/April ($11k) should put us over.

Starting Debt: 189,160
Starting Rental Debt: 127,721 (it is a debt, income producing but still a debt)
Starting Taxable: 0
Starting Retirement: 114,767

Net Investments:
11/30/2018: 202,112
01/03/2019: 207,812 This went the wrong direction, mostly due to the market (investments are down $8K).
