(Calculations include primary residence, current value of defined benefit pension plan, emergency fund and liquid retirement investments.)

November 30, 2023: $1,265,857.28
December 31, 2023: $1,375,143.79 (+$177,313.28 or 14% from December 31, 2022)
January 31, 2024: $1,438,100.90
February 29, 2024: $1,427,226.01
March 31, 2024: $1,451,464.67
April 30, 2024: $1,466,011.46

Call me curious as Feb was a good month and April was a bad month.
Your NW decreased in Feb in a good market month and went up in a bad market April.
Is your investments in something else and not the Indexes ?

The current value of my DB pension plan, which I include in my NW, fluctuates significantly at times. For context, the value of my liquid retirement investments increased from $520k to $537k in February, and declined from $562k to $552k in April.

I’m curious how your defined benefit pension is structured? Mine just lists a monthly dollar amount that I will be paid at retirement age. It never fluctuates, other than going up as I earn more pension credits. I know some pensions list a cash buyout value (mine does not), but was unaware they could fluctuate other than incrementally rising as you work longer. But I know some types of pensions vary wildly.

For my NW calculations, I use the lump sum benefit (available through my pension's online portal) that I would currently take with me if I were to leave the plan prior to retirement.

@WesternAugust we do the same for my better halfs pension value - what could we walk away with today. Looks like we knocked out our initial EoY goal of 1.3mm - so we're going to aim for 1.4mm. Edit to add: Also realized we broke 1mm liquid for the first time too!

Stache Highwater mark: May 16 2024 - 1.354M Total, 1.315M Stache


So the wonky balance sheet begins. New highwater mark on the 'stache in mid May, followed promptly by moving $50K from Roth IRA to the checking account so we can be certain to have funds for closing on the house June 14th (2 weeks from yesterday - holy crap is this coming up fast). Plan is to return $20K fairly immediately to the Roth (60 day rollover) after closing when I'll take ~$35K in 0% interest cash advance offers to spread out some of this cashflow bomb we're dropping on our situation over a year. Then we should be receiving a ~$80,000 check when our current house sells later this summer. End of the day, we'll be recognizing significant gains on our balance sheet from this transaction, but next few months are just going to be strange.

April 30th 2024

I haven't updated since beginning Feb. I remembered it got as high as $1,775,000 end of March.
Enjoying the Tesla. Awesome car.
My group of friends, 3 more couples went and got Tesla too.


Rental       300,000- Paid off. Zillow has this house at $360k
Primary     248,103- Valued this house at $550k(Zillow $576k). Will sell for more.
                              $550k- minus selling fee and balance owed.
Assets        85,000- Bought a Tesla Model Y this month.
HSA           50,696
IRA-roth     142,002
IRA            98,590
Inx funds    175,679
401k          30,723
Wife 401k   63,716
Wife HSA    12,312
Wifes IRA    121093
Cash          29,150
Etrade        28,731
Pension       30,120- I added this. Cash value of small pension I have.
Vanguard-   316,528- Most are all CDs and MM all over 5% interests. Was thinking of moving some of this to some Index funds but I will leave it here as long as the interests are still over 5%.

$1,734,615 - Net Worth.
$1,484,589 - Without primary home.
$1,039,889- INVESTED.

May 31st 2024

Wife is working. Me not so much.


Rental       300,000- Paid off. Zillow has this house at $360k
Primary     250,026- Valued this house at $550k(Zillow $576k). Will sell for more.
                              $550k- minus selling fee and balance owed.
                              One of my not so good decision. I went with an ARM rate that I can relock at
                              anytime but the rates are sky high. It's about to reset to 3.99% in Sept and
                              5.99% next Sept. 3.99% is still decent as I can break even with money in a
                              MM account. By next year, if rates doesn't go down, I will have to pay this
                              off. Still owe $270k

Assets        85,000-
HSA           52,694
IRA-roth     149,475
IRA            103,465

401k          32,224
Wife 401k   68,910
Wife HSA    12,978
Wifes IRA    127,349
Cash          33,046
Etrade        26,343
Pension       30,120- I added this. Cash value of small pension I have.
Vanguard-   317,975 - Most are all CDs and MM all over 5% interests. Was thinking of moving some of this to some Index funds but I will leave it here as long as the interests are still over 5%.

$1,775,835 - Net Worth.

You should.
We almost hit $1 million right before the pandemic and then did hit $1 million Aug 2020.
Almost 4 yrs later, we are at $1.75 million.
This is with me hardly working. Never made more than $60k since 2020.
You are on your way sir.

12/31/15       $92,762
12/31/16      $163,900
12/31/17      $251,415
12/31/18      $330,093 - new job, nice retention bonus from previous job
12/31/19      $519,878 - pension lump sum after leaving old job (rolled into 401k)
12/31/20      $714,958
12/31/21      $993,847 - reached $1M on 11/03 and then, well... yeah.
12/31/22      $855,784
12/31/23    $1,184,285 - reached $1M again on 05/18

02/29/24    $1,249,619
03/31/24    $1,294,026 - maxed out 401(k) including the senior discount catch-up.
04/30/24    $1,266,485 - started Mega Backdoor
05/31/24    $1,336,432


Baby Million(c) first birthday!

So I've officially reached my FI number. Feels nice to tell myself that when I feel like retiring yesterday, but it doesn't mean anything, and I'm still one entire paid-off home away from my RE number (and one rule-of-55 away too).

I'm having strong I don't wanna do this anymore urges these days (by this I mean work). It's not really related to the FI number thing, more likely related to my job. So I think I'm going to start looking for a new one soon, although objectively, finding a better job won't be easy at all. Maybe I just need a vacation, and I need to go back home for a while. Already updated my resume and put myself on a no-FIRE-excel-sheet-until-next-month diet, so there's that.

The journey continues.... I can smell 2M now...

2012--- $198k   
2013--- $256k  (+58)
2014--- $332k  (+76)
2015--- $445k  (113
2016--- $522k  (+77) (+husband!)
2017--- $655k  (+133)
2018--- $690k  (+35) (paid off house, shifted mortage $ to investments)
2019--- $898k  (+208)
2020--- $1,211 (+313)
2021---$1,521 (+310)
2022---$1,283 (-238) (yikes!)
2023---$1,737 (+454) (didn't see that coming)
2024---$1,900 so far this year

Thoughts from May 2024 - Getting serious about retirement, might be closer than we at first thought (2027 vs 2030).  Husband and I are still talking often and exploring a shared vision for these transition years (fragile decade anyone?).  Husband got a new job with more pay and a 5.3% pay increase for us govt workers wasn't too shabby this year. 

2023 was WILD after an equally wild but totally different 2022. These last two years were an illustration of "you can't time the market". We stayed in, all in, buying cheap in 2022 and riding the wave back up in 2023. 

I quit using the early retirement calculator at neworthify.com (became too general to meet my needs). and have started working through an actual assessment of how much we're spending (all debit/credit statements). It's looking like we're living on about $115 k this year.  I'm using this and some other data to calculate a funded ratio which has been a great exercise that feels more specific to my actual situation as we approach RE.  Shout out to Wade Pfau for his book, and his podcast. I recommend Retirement Planning Guidebook. It's a bit heavy and you could say "dry" but well written, clear, comprehensive coverage of important stuff.   

I'm making this post, once again, while I'm feeling pleased with progress we're on the cusp of breaking into the 2M club! (get excited for somewhat meaningless numbers!!!)  My guess is that it will ultimately take us about 4 years to go from 1M to 2M.  At the rate we've progressed we should hit 2M this year.   We may choose to keep working for a few more years.  Maybe class of 2027?  What does it look like if I only have three more years to work? What do I want to do with myself during that time? I'm seeing my days, weeks, and months through different eyes now. How does that country song go? (haha).

Here we are officially here! Yeah!!
m

You should.
We almost hit $1 million right before the pandemic and then did hit $1 million Aug 2020.
Almost 4 yrs later, we are at $1.75 million.
This is with me hardly working. Never made more than $60k since 2020.
You are on your way sir.
Well, that's exciting I'm good to hear how your progress went , well done. I am the Mrs, but husband just got a job after 8 years of college, so we should be escalating our savings even more over the next few years.

Apr 2017: 175k (total net worth)
Apr 2018: 333k
Apr 2019: 400k
Aug 2020: 602k TNW (415k invested)
Aug 2021: 831k TNW (625k invested)
(invested only hereafter)
Jan 2022: 688k
Dec 2023: 899k
Mar 2024: 1,005,000 (crossed 1m mark)
Jun 2024: 1,039,000

Finally making the transition to this thread.  No real plans to retire in the works but aiming for official FI in the 2025 cohort. 

Some concrete steps that I've taken to shift gears is that I stopped tracking spending once Mint went down in March and transitioned to a lower paying but more interesting job.  We still have our accounts being "tracked" in Fidelity Fullview, so the data is there but the obsession with spending and individual transactions is over and I just log in occasionally to see balances and any unusual activity.  I've also eased up slightly on the aggressive saving that we've been doing for the past decade.  It represents a small but meaningful $1k/month.

This is surreal but I'm trying to lean in (to giving less f***s)

Time to join the big kids club! I'm (mostly!) here and figured this thread would provide inspiration to keep going instead of backing off/stop paying attention.

2016: $201,010   (started tracking monthly to see is FIRE actually possible)
2017: $265,615   (Spouse finishes grad school, gets career job, we become a dual earning family!)
         
          Investment Only          (Total Net Worth)
2024: $958,950                     ($1,132,638)

Wife is working. Me not so much.


Rental       300,000- Paid off. Zillow has this house at $360k
Primary     250,026- Valued this house at $550k(Zillow $576k). Will sell for more.
                              $550k- minus selling fee and balance owed.
                              One of my not so good decision. I went with an ARM rate that I can relock at
                              anytime but the rates are sky high. It's about to reset to 3.99% in Sept and
                              5.99% next Sept. 3.99% is still decent as I can break even with money in a
                              MM account. By next year, if rates doesn't go down, I will have to pay this
                              off. Still owe $270k

Assets        85,000-
HSA           52,694
IRA-roth     149,475
IRA            103,465
Inx funds    184,805
401k          32,224
Wife 401k   68,910
Wife HSA    12,978
Wifes IRA    127,349
Cash          33,046
Etrade        26,343
Pension       30,120- I added this. Cash value of small pension I have.
Vanguard-   317,975 - Most are all CDs and MM all over 5% interests. Was thinking of moving some of this to some Index funds but I will leave it here as long as the interests are still over 5%.

$1,775,835 - Net Worth.
$1,524,809 - Without primary home.
$1,075,218- INVESTED.

Just wanted to leave myself a note that we just passed a milestone.
$1.8 million as of 6/17/24.

Truly can't believe I'm joining this thread! Started from very close to zero 7 years ago at age 41...

Jan. 2017   $42,000 [discovered MMM]
...
Apr. 2019   $271,294

Aug. 2020  $402,692

Feb. 2021  $475,145
Mar. 2021  $477,249

Jan. 2024 $905,342
Feb. 2024 $938,653
Mar. 2024 $959,707
Apr. 2024 $982,056
May 2024 $996,230
June 2024 $1,005,179 - includes home equity; about $740k invested

I don't really have a FIRE number (and, given that I'm almost 49, it wouldn't be more like "FIR" anyway) but I'm enjoying the hell out of not feeling financial stress anymore, and being able to teach my kids that it's possible to escape the consumption/hedonism treadmill. I still enjoy working and that enjoyment seems to increase over time, so maybe I'll just end up being a stealth philanthropist :-).

Also, in the last year I've had my first real health struggles, and it was tremendously comforting to know that if I needed to, I could just stop working and things would be basically okay. Grateful for this community!

A few days early this time around but shouldn't change much over the weekend. Requested and received a pretty significant raise this Spring, retroactive to Jan 1, and glad I did because it's been a very expensive Spring. A sick dog, some home renos, then a water pipe leak at home, but to my surprise, my networth slowed but did not stop. about $25k of bills the last 2 months and I still grew the networth, still trying to figure out how I managed that! Also have a second child coming into the world any day now! I expect I'll ramp up the saving and investing the second half of the year before it getting expensive again the first half of 2025.
Current trajectory to graduate from here in 3.5 years...

$1,242,059 +23.8% in 2024 Q2 Sold old house.

Well that was a good quarter. Going from $800K in debt to $450K in debt and having some money left over to invest felt good.

EOY Numbers:
2015       $101,290
2016       $179,734
2017       $287,829
2018       $317,638
2019       $441,666
2020       $575,310
2021       $774,895
2022       $696,612
2023       $916,701
---

Trailing 12 Months (well, 4 quarters):
Q3 2023    $830,802
Q4 2023    $916,701
Q1 2024  $1,007,541
Q2 2024  $1,051,933


Dipped below two commas for a bit this quarter, but back above by the end. I'm closing on a house next quarter, so that will likely set me back a bit with the closing/moving/renovating costs

Made a big purchase this quarter and nice to see it didn't keep me from making some progress. 

It's hard to be too optimistic though about any of this given the complete $hit storm we're heading into regardless of who wins the election.  Both have absolutely terrible bonkers ideas about the economy.  Neither party has shown the slightest inclination to take even the tiniest steps toward addressing the long term financial crisis we're heading toward.  Total clown show all around.
