Been a tough couple of months for a girl who just retired.  I've always been steady since I first started investing.  The tech blowup, 2008, covid - none of that even made me twitch.  Now, I am having to frequently remind myself that 4% works, and even if it doesn't, I'm not withdrawing that much.  And I have plenty of room to cut back.  Not adding to the stash apparently makes a difference in my mindset.

All that being said, it's just a new situation i need to adjust to.  I'm not thinking of doing anything crazy.  Just dealing with thoughts I've never had before.  Good times!!  Regardless, it beats the hell out of working for a living!

Trifele, thank you.

I am planning to retire when my younger daughter finishes college in 9 years, I will be 58 then. If I can get to FIRE status before that I can go part time before that.

Seems kind of anti-climatic compared to last month . . . but investment accts are still up $270K year over year, so no complaints from me. At this point I'm trying to just ignore any theoretical home equity increase, like a lot of folks here, because I'm not convinced that is completely real.

Indeed it's kind of strange how we ignore the value of real estate that we might not sell for seven years, but we're so anxious to mark-to-market assets in a retirement account that will be there for thirty years or more.

LOL.  Yep.  Stocks are probably overvalued by 20% just like real estate. Everything is in bubble mode.

I guess the only “real” difference is that for stock holdings we have basically standing offers for immediate sale at a specific price whereas our real estate value is being estimated based on similar stuff assuming all things being equal.

I have a co-worker who was concerned about his son's college costs (this is son's senior year in HS).

Son just announced he was signing up with US Army, so now co-worker will be retiring in about 100 days.

Funny thing is that every little (or not so little) milestone I’ve passed has been a little underwhelming after the initial 20 minute “high” of crossing the goalposts.  When I crossed the $1M net worth number, it felt great for a minute but then it was quickly about wanting to have $1M in invested assets, and then it was about having 1.25 because we all know the market was in a bubble and none of it was “real”, and then when it was 1.5... well you get my point.   

I think probably most of us still struggle with the “when is it enough” mentality, so I’m trying now to be a little freer with my money.  If we weren’t in this supply chain mess, I would be shopping for a new car. I’ve had my current vehicle for 14 years and now that my stash is at a size where relatively minor market moves result in multiple tens of thousands of dollars change in my net worth, it is becoming much easier to imagine spending a few on a new vehicle without feeling like I’ve done something stupid.

We just bought a new car. It's the first time we've bought new since 2003, but with used car prices being nuts right now, I figured I'd either lease a car for three years or, as it turned out, buy a car at 1.9% APR for six years. The dealer had a $10k markup on a $38k Toyota Venza, which I just laughed at. We paid MSRP, but with cars in short supply, I can deal with that. The car we bought had 4 miles on the odo, and had just arrived at the dealership that day. They had two other Venzas in stock, one of which was a demo model with 1300 miles (they said). They had both been sold by the time I checked the website a couple of days later.

So now we have one new car, and two 2011 cars, one of which is going to our daughter, who just got her license. I've been putting less than 2,000 miles a year on my car (now at 68k), so I'm planning on keeping it until it dies.

Well, I guess it's time for me to move from lurker to participant of this thread. 

We have some commercial real estate investments, 529s, (and home equity) that technically push our total net worth well over $2MM, but I'm most interested in counting "investable assets" or "liquid net worth", though those terms don't seem that well defined to me.  So these are the category on Personal Capital listed as "investments".  They include index funds, stocks and bonds in 401k, HSA, Roth, and taxable brokerage accounts.

2/21/15     $400k 
5/28/17     $500k    (2 years, 3 months)
12/11/17   $600k    (6 months, 2 weeks)
2/22/19     $800k    (1 year, 2 months)
12/21/19   $1M       (10 months)
8/19/20     $1.1M    (8 months)
1/6/21       $1.2M    (5 months)
4/15/21     $1.3M    (3 months)
10/21/21   $1.4M    (6 months -took some withdraws to support us during an unpaid sabbatical)

It's great fun to have somewhere to celebrate milestones without risk of offending!  Thanks

I’ll be updating quarterly, so here is our December number.

Nov 2019: 1.001M
Dec 2019: 1.013M

So the whole updating quarterly thing went out the window, but a recent peek at our numbers suggest that we are half way there.

A friend of mine is an accountant (we have the same employer), but he told me it's his routine to do monthly net worth statements for his household. I imagine it's just a step in paying the bills.

Cash and investments hit just over $1 million today on my Personal Capital dashboard. Caveat, 4% of it is unvested RSUs which I'm not planning to stick around to collect, but am hoping in a month or 3 between savings and gains it will hit $1 million without them.

Incredible milestone. Total NW $1.8 M. Only celebrated between these 4 walls and this forum.

Because we drive one ancient car, take public transit and bike, some acquaintances still think we are struggling.

I hear you! I celebrated by drinking a glass of boxed wine, and texting my dad (one of the only people I can tell that sort of thing)

It's like buying a new (to us) car in August never happened.  Weird.  Also, my brother and I bought a new rental property.  Started the paperwork in June.  Took until October to close.  It was a property that had gone (was going?) into foreclosure.  The bank that held the note had a hard time completing paperwork in a timely fashion. But it's done now, and everyone is happy.

I love being retired, and I continue to be grateful that we have SO MUCH money.

Another good month! I went back and reconstructed some history from earlier in 2020. Proceeds from sale of a home in May '20 put me over the million mark in liquid assets for the first the time. Soaring markets and ludicrous income have done the heavy lifting since then.

Missed updating this thread with the ~October 1st figures. Filled it in for the ~11/1 update.

Back to all-time highs by the end of the month is more fun, even if I should be rooting for a big downturn since I'm still accumulating.

Or am I still accumulating? I wound up moving $9,000 in profits from business to personal this month to get personal checking significantly further from zero that it was. I'd like to put another ~$9K into tax deferred accounts before the end of the year, but if I do that then I will likely have to take a few thousand out of our taxable investment accounts to keep the personal checking above zero. I suppose the point of coast-firing is to slowly enter the withdrawal phase, and if I do wind up "withdrawing" from taxable to cover personal expenses so these deferrals happen in the next two months, it is really more shuffling the balance sheet than actual withdrawing. Still feels super weird and I'm not sure I'm going to do it. I am sure about the HSA (~$4700 I still can do as employer HSA for 2021) - considering forgoing the last $4250 I have in employee 401K space for 2021.

Hopefully 2022, I just keep on keeping on with the part-time self employed arrangement and having the whole year to spread these things out over makes it less dramatic cash-flow wise in certain months.

Quit tracking for a bit while the net worth looked pitiful. Bought two cars and paid cash, and waited to sell my other car for a couple months. After all was said and done it was about a $55k hit to the net worth but I’m a car fanatic and these were a couple dream vehicles I won’t want to buy once I’m in FIRE, so that’s fine.

The good news is that I sold my 18 month old 2020 Corolla with 25k miles for just $1500 less than I paid for it new. So much for the massive depreciation people talk about when driving off the lot!

Bienvenida @afuera!  I won't ever graduate since I pulled the plug at well under $1M, but you might if you FIRE with a stash like that.  It can keep growing afterwards.  Well done!

Zero offers on our listed condo, so we'll have to take more of a bath on that than hoped it appears.

I typically don't save this info more than once per year so I only have historical data for each January for the past several years.  Do others here find it helpful to store this monthly, like I see in others post?  Anyway, here's my annual data for the past 4 years and then current numbers.  I only found MMM in May of 2020 so I guess I'm pretty fortunate to be where I am.

I guess technically I'm in the $2M to $4M race now, but I'll bet that I'll swing in and out of the $1 to $2M race for a little while.

Date  LNW  TNW
Jan-18  $1.00 MM  $1.90 MM
Jan-19   $1.04 MM  $2.13 MM
Jan-20  $1.34 MM  $2.64 MM
Jan-21  $1.70 MM  $3.22 MM
Oct-21  $2.05 MM  $3.98 MM

I don't go out of my way to record our net worth specifically. Instead I track everything in GnuCash and can make reports of whatever I want over any time period/intervals. That way if I think of a new thing I'd like to track I already have the historical data available.

We bought a car last month, and our net worth went up more than the cost of the car. I like months like that.

02/21  $726,985.41    $922,907.25

I don't think it's particularly useful, I am mostly doing it out of impatience.

*opens door slightly and whispers*

i was told there are cookies and millionaire bars here.....

If these gains stick through the end of the month I'll be making the jump from the $500k->$1M thread on 12/1, how is it in here?  Is the water warm?
