We're awaiting word on what will happen with my wife's job (she is exposed to aero-space/engine decline in demand).

I haven’t been able to make myself look at my main taxable account. I’ve rebalanced my 401k and bought some more in other accounts but I haven’t logged into personal capital since February probably to see the full carnage. Just gonna keep auto investing and live in ignorance.

02/20/2020   $2.003M

I'm moving on to the next tier of the race.  See you all there soon!

It may be a bit premature to leave us just yet.  Personally I don't consider myself as part of the next group until my balances stay above the threshold for at least a couple months, or reach maybe 5% above the threshold.

I'm just sayin'...it's better to be a little conservative than to come back here tomorrow with your tail between your legs.  :D

I don't plan on coming back for minor swings in the market...

Oh jeez. I saw this post, and saw the date, and physically cringed.

Hope everyone's doing ok out there. We're just about still over the $1M mark (somewhat to my surprise).

Debatable whether I should join this thread since our goal is $1.8M and we don't particularly intend to ever get to $2M, but I'll follow anyway.

I hit $2MM at the same time, and am now up by $150K since then. I was expecting much worse, somehow the virus seems to have spared me so far.

In the process of buying/selling houses, Mint.com has dropped our home equity (this was intentional). So the number I'm suddenly seeing in there has me rewound by a year's progress.

But it suddenly feels easy to save when there's no opportunity to buy anything.

Jun-05      -0.02 MM
Aug-13    0.15 MM
Sep-16    0.50 MM
Jul-19    1.02 MM
Nov-19    1.08 MM
Apr-20    1.04 MM
May-20    1.13 MM

It's really amazing to think how much progress we've made in the last 7 years. 2013 doesn't feel that long ago, but back then I couldn't even imagine what getting to this point would feel like.

We joined the double comma club in Feb 2018, TNW ($1.002M and .631M liquid).

LNW has been over/under as the market cycles this year, we hit $1M for the first time in January. It will be interesting to see where it goes as the year progresses, but I think we're officially in the $1-2M race.

                LNW         TNW
Dec-19    $0.96M     $1.43M
Jan-20    $1.00M     $1.47M
Feb-20    $1.04M     $1.53M
Mar-20    $1.05M     $1.55M
Apr-20    $0.98M     $1.48M
May-20    $1.08M     $1.58M
Jun-20     $1.18M     $1.62M (So far, I run our full numbers on the 1st of each month)

I finally opened personal capital today for the first time since like Feb. I guess I’m down about $150K. Could be worse. It was a lot worse I’m sure probably down about $250 or more at one point. In reality it doesn’t make a difference as I’m still working

Good job waiting it out! I'm impressed you didn't even look during the worst of it.

Things feel much better this week, but who knows what the future holds. I'm disappointed that our investments keep going through on days when the market is way up! I missed all of the lower points in the last few months.

Also: I really need to update my signature now :(

Ooof. I'm just catching up on this thread.

Seems like the party ended around mid February! Haven't you guys been enjoying the rebound now?

In the last three months I closed on a new property ($940,000 purchase price). Sold my share portfolio in January to pay the deposit for it. (Sold $462k, but only needed $380k for the deposit and stamp duty costs). Took out a loan for $600k and fixed at 2.59% interest.

In the interim, bought $25k of shares and sold for $28.5k, and made $1500 interest on a P2P lending platform. Probably shouldn't have sold that little parcel of shares.

Have subsequently bought back $100k of shares, basically market timed our index (sold at $88 in Jan, bought back in part at $70). I'm happy with that, and going to invest excess cash now in more shares, as long as it's under $88 I'm coming out well in front (still at $73 today).

My NW is still up for the year. I've gone from $1.32m to just over $1.40m.

On we go towards $2m

I try not to do checks / updates more often than quarterly.
I already rebalanced once this year, probably wouldn't rebalance a second time, so checking more often wouldn't be actionable.

My net worth rose over $400,000 in 2019 from the crazy bull market year. As of this week, I'm at $1.61M LNW, $1.88M TNW. The big $2M is in sight!

Well, that was a fast dip and an even faster rebound! As of Friday, I've hit a new all-time high:

June 2020: $1.68 LNW / $1.94 TNW

It may be too good to last, but I'll enjoy it while it does.

Yay! I can join this club! I hit $1,000,990 on Friday thanks to the huge rally. Split between $550K in investments (retirement, MM and cash) and $450 in equity in a paid off house. What an amazing feeling! Now looking forward on the race to $2M although I plan on FIRE when my liquidity hits $800K.

Out of interest I joined MMM back in 2014 with a net worth of $240K. I have been pretty frugal since then but have valued my vacations and put some money into the house so it's been nice to hit my goal but while enjoying the ride along the way.

Welcome, @Eurotexan! That's awesome progress from 2014 to present. I bet it feels good to have a paid off house. I don't know if we'll ever go that route but the prospect of not having to pay a mortgage ever again does sound pretty tempting.

Thanks @zinnie! I was on the fence with the mortgage about whether to pay it off or invest and in the end I invested my extra cash and paid it off at once rather than a little extra principle each month. From reading the forums here I decided that was the best route for me. I really did it for the peace of mind and to reduce my required income in FIRE for ACH reasons.

We were at the finish line for about a hot second yesterday....BUT it's tax day and summer college tuition day therefore we're going stay sub $2.0 for a bit  - just doing that slow-motion film finish replay for posterity.  What did we do to celebrate the momentous occasion for that first moment?  We planted 2 kiefer pear trees that we were too cheap to pay $65 to have installed.  In 90 degree heat no less. I am going to call them my two million dollar trees.

Thanks! Glad I caught a pic before the last couple days, good to 'check it off,' not sure what the next milestone that would mean anything would be, or if we'll ever get there.

Well the next step here at MMM is the $2 to $4 mil and beyond race. Be careful, some of the folks over there are well known to be scoundrels and scalawags. :-p

Between the current stock market and the fact that our own additions are a smaller percent, our last check in was barely up from the one six months prior. Certainly not by as much as we had added.

I totally agree. New additions barely register at this point. Good problem to have I guess!

Under the circumstances, I'm just content to be treading water. I think its likely that we’ll see more losses as the full picture of the economic reality sets in.  But maybe I’m wrong, we’ll see.

In the short term there are frustrating days where you can lose one year's income.

In the long term, I cannot imagine it being harder to get to $2,000,000 than it is to get above $0.

Congratulations Roboturner!
Congratulations!!!  That's really awesome.       

Thanks! Glad I caught a pic before the last couple days, good to 'check it off,' not sure what the next milestone that would mean anything would be, or if we'll ever get there.

Well the next step here at MMM is the $2 to $4 mil and beyond race. Be careful, some of the folks over there are well known to be scoundrels and scalawags. :-p

I resemble that remark.

Just paper losses though. Not real losses.

It took us seven years to get to $1M. We are on track to get to $2M in four years. Instead of looking at TNW, I focus on the monthly increases, because going from $1.009M to 1.029M looks tiny, but going up by $20K in one month looks like an enormous gain.

I feel like $2MM will never come! I take one $100k step forward and then one back. Although really I have no cause to complain. I can’t believe how the market has recovered and performed in this insane world we now live in. I also just bought my first car ever (ahh!) so that’s a hit but I’m happy. This is the most money I’ve ever spent outside buying my apt. which felt like half investment have consumption purchase. This is just pure consumption.

I feel the same way, AND I bought my first car 2 years ago. I wanted to see what it was like. Having done it I'm pretty happy, though if I ever did it again I'd get a certified pre-owned. I just looked at what I could get for it now if I sold it and it's basically cost me what a lease would have cost for the past 2 years. So maybe lease next time? I'm planning to drive it for 10 years anyway.

(CDN$)        LNW         TWN
2018 YE    $1.13M    $1.66M
1Q2019     $1.26M    $1.77M
2Q2019     $1.26M    $1.77M
3Q2019     $1.33M    $1.84M
4Q2019     $1.38M    $1.90M
1Q2020     $1.18M    $1.75M
2Q2020     $1.40M    $1.95M

It's been a bumpy ride but super happy to see a new peak NW.  I'm glad I rebalanced my portfolio during the dip.  Selling safe bonds and buying risky stocks took courage but it's paid off.   I am not too attached to my NW number at the moment.  Tomorrow's a new day in a strange world and it might drop again.  But that's OK.  I'm in for the long haul.

                 LNW    /  TNW
EOY 2018 - 877K   / 1.02M
EOY 2019 - 1.12M  / 1.275M
EQ1 2020 - 956K   / 1.11M     
EQ2 2020 - 1.14M / 1.3M

Making just a little bit of progress, mostly from contributions so far this year.  Good to be ahead anyway. 

I could look at it as being up a quarter million over the past 18 months.  Yeah, that's how I'll look at it.  That feels much better.
