As Omicron fears have raged and challenges abound because of, IMO, people are not thinking intelligently but rather selfishly we are in a period of volatility that I'm not confident has a great way to end.   Thinking we will be back to treading water again for a while where money keeps going in but the balance stays flat at best.

Hello @caracarn , I don't post much on this thread but when I saw a post from a fellow Ohioan, I thought I would reply....take heart because your performance (mkt gains+additional investments) in the second half of the year is definitely better than mine on a relative basis!   I do agree with your assessment that it seems like we're in a choppy but sideways market shift now -- however, the upside of that is (assuming that you are still actively contributing to the stache) you get to invest more dollars over the next year or so at relatively flat market values so that, when the next market run occurs, you'll have more soldiers in the battle!   Good luck!

Hi! I'm a long time follower of these types of threads, and am looking to finally join in and post. But, how do I easily create a table? This HTML stuff isn't the most user friendly...

There's a button when you're composing a message to insert the minimum tags to create a table (see attached). This will give you a table with a single cell (one row and one column). If you want more cells add more of the "td | /td" tags. If you want more rows copy paste one set of "tr | /tr" tags. The number of td cell tags inside of each tr row tag should be the same for each row or things might not line up. If you want a blank cell just don't put anything between in its td tag.

                  -----         
Rental       230000- Paid off. Housing market is insane here in FL and this is more
                              accurate. We have a month to month lease and we are
                              planning to sell it before the end of the year. Will probably get
                              more than $230k after selling fees. I should up this amount but will leave it
                              as is.
Primary     2300302-Older version of this house just sold for $430k in 5 days. Newer
                              version of this house will cost you $500k with ZERO upgrade.
                              Our builder just listed an inventory house with 1756 sqft for $440K.
                              Insane. Our house is 2804 sqft. I moderately put this house at $445k-
                              selling fees selling-balance owed.

Wife 401k   39200. She is putting in $980 every 2 weeks now.
Wife HSA     8969
Wifes IRA    92886. I started this for her in 2013. Principle $45,500. Gains $47,386
Loan           178545- Other house equity. Loan being paid back @3.5%.
Cash           32397-
Gold            6000
Etrade         85698. Purchased 700 shares of Abbvie stock last week @112.80. It's
                             paying 4.6% dividends.  Stocks doing great. $118+ and just received $910
                             dividends.

$1,347,916 -Net Worth.
$1,117,614- Without primary home. Almost closing on a refinance and pulling out $100k of
                   equity from the house.

Time for an update.
Dec 23 2021


Rental       250,000- Paid off. I upped this value $20k. Houses are now really hard to find for under $300k
                               and Zillow and RedFin has this at $295k. I'll put this at modest at $265k -minus
                               selling fee.
Primary     156,833- Just refinanced and cashed out $100k. Same house across the street with a smaller
                               lot sold for $505k. I upped the value a bit @$475k -minus selling fee -minus balance
                               owe(closed to $300k)
                             
Assets        45,000

I-Bonds       20,000- Just bought $10k each for us, Will buy $20k more in Jan.
Etrade         138,955- After cashing out $100k refinance, I ended up buying lots of Abbvie having 1850
                                 shares at one point. The stock kept going down to $108 and I kept it till the ex-
                                 dividend date. Started selling them off little by little and got rid of all my Abbvie
                                 shares $$122. Terrible mistake. Stocks kept going up to $131. What could have
                                 been a ~$40k gain ended up being ~$10k. Live and learn.


$1,430,047 -Net Worth.
$1,273,214- Without primary home. Went up because we refinanced the primary home and cashed out
                   $100k.

Same.

Reading threads on forum of similar folks and what it was like once they got off the merry go round. Need the inspiration!

I'm really happy with 2021's performance so far. Amazing that pure market gains this year were larger than my base salary!

Thank you! I actually came across an even easier method. Just quote someone else's post with a preexisting table, and it's much easier to edit all that code.

Final numbers in 2021
33.4% savings rate of gross income
46.2% savings rate of net income (with 401k added back into the denominator)

1.4 MM Dec 2020 networth
1.67 MM Dec 2021 networth

I would have expected to be higher by now but we put a good amount down on a new car and did a lot of home improvements, neither of which are included in the savings rate above.

Goal is to get to 50%+ savings rate for 2022

Excited to join this race!

Quotes below are from the $500k to $1M race.

Checking in after bonus & RSU vesting!
Dec ‘20: $728k
Jan ‘21: $748k
Feb ‘21: $776k
Mar ‘21: $878k

Continuing the corporate slog as long as I can stand it is at least supported by the impact on my NW #s. As shitty as this pandemic year was in many ways, at least I took a big step towards eventually being able to tell my corporate overlords to stuff it when I FIRE.

Excited to close out this race with the close of the year!
Apr ‘21: $932k
May ‘21: $913k
Jun ‘21: $921k
Jul ‘21: $947k
Aug ‘21: $964k
Sep ‘21: $950k
Oct ‘21: $987k
Nov ‘21: $1,003k
Dec ‘21: $1,010k

Totals are liquid NW on Mint, excludes primary residence.
Since my last post I changed jobs within my company and find the new job to be much less of a miserable slog. I’m feeling good about finding balance with my work while building up the stash.

I made it! Let's hope it's enough so that market fluctuations don't drop me back down below a million, I want to stay here!  Back in November 2019 when I first joined the $550k-$1mil thread, I predicted based on rate of growth in the previous thread that I'd hit $1 million by January 2022, and even though that seemed like an impossibility at the time I nailed it!

Oct-18      $768,090.42 (+63,330)
Jan-19      $761,423.60 (-06,666 for the quarter, +144,285 for the year)
April-19    $865,799.27 (+104,376)

July-20    $1,128,599 (+197,143)
Oct-20     $1,233,581 (+104,981) *Milestone reached -over 1 million in liquid investments.
Jan-21     $1,468,865 (+235,284 for the quarter, +374,258 for the year))
April-21   $1,594,119 (+125,254)

Oct-21     $1,729,455 (+14,599) *Milestone reached -over 1.5 million in liquid investments.
Jan-22     $1,920,469 (+191,014 for the quarter, +451,604 for the year). Of the 451K yearly gains, about 1/2 were contributions, and 1/2 were investment gains. Both contributions AND gains were, respectively, more than my take home pay -> which is mindboggling. I have to be double counting somewhere, right?

Nah, that would put me at only $70 million or so. That would give me a rather plush annual spend of over $2 million per year under the 4% rule!

First post for us on this thread.

Jan 1st, 2022 update — +220k since the previous update a year before, but basically all of it is due to market returns. We are hoping to actually save some money this year instead of relying on the market for everything. While total net worth is well on the way to 2M now, the number we're actually paying attention to is our liquid assets, which are still around 1.26M (we can't eat our house, after all, so even though it does form a part of our net worth, it's not the bit that we really care about):

  • 2022: 1261k liquid + 574K home equity: total 1,835k (debt: 0k)
  • 2021: 1059k liquid + 556K home equity: total 1,615k (debt: 0k)
  • 2020: 918k liquid + 478k home equity: total 1,396k (debt: 30k)
  • 2019: 877k liquid + 440k home equity: total 1,317k (debt: 46k)
  • 2018: 1,075k liquid + 409k home equity: total 1,484k (debt: 141k)
  • 2017: 720k liquid + 250k home equity: total 970k (debt: approx 228k)

For more detail (quarterly) on the earlier updates, see post on the 500k-to-1m thread.

Dec 2021     $1.52MM     $1.92MM     (+$30K)

+$259K year over year in invested stocks/bonds/bank accounts (exceeds salaries.)
+$129K year over year in home equity, but it's difficult to take that too seriously.

Why ?? I compare home equity to retirement accounts. You're not going to cash in your retirement account any time soon just as your home. And your retirement can take a plunge just as your house can. If you see your same house in your neighborhood selling for a certain, you can certainly count that number as your equity.
Sure, your home equity might not be an exact figure but I always tend to undervalue my home so it's a pretty accurate number.

Updating myself for 12/31/2020. Starting 2021 officially unemployed.
What an insane 2020. Biggest jump ever in any year considering I got laid-off. Took advantage when the market was down.
Investments went up around $110k and NW went up around $175k.
In process of refinancing the primary house with a cash-out, If successful I guess the cash will put my investments over $1 million. Won't have anymore excuses to stay in this thread ??

            Dec 31st 2020       
                  -----         
Rental       210000- Paid off. getting only $10k of net income per year.   
Primary     145000- Valued this house at $365k. Exact house just sold in Nov for $387k.

Gold          6000

$1,125,916- Net Worth.
$979,916- Without primary home.

Updating myself for Dec 31 2021.
Overall it's a great year for pretty much everyone who has money invested or own a house.
I got my old job back in April and my wife quit hers end of Sept.

Rental       250,000- Paid off. getting only $10k of net income per year.   
Primary     157,446- Valued this house at $475k. Exact house on the back fence just sold for $505k.
                              $475k- minus selling fee and balance owed.
Assets        45,000   
HSA           31,175
IRA-roth     132,244
IRA            78,121   
Inx funds    157,723. Transferred in $17k in March     
401k          28,595   
Wife 401k   44,438   
Wife HSA    8,900   
Wifes IRA    98,909   
Loan          177,303- Other house equity. Loan being paid back @3.5%.
Cash          60,716-
Etrade        119,327- I made $21k from trading stocks. Still can't beat the SP500 LOL
TastyWorks  26,505
Gold           6,000

$1,442,402- Net Worth.
$1,290,956- Without primary home.

So I broke it down. We had a huge jump of $317,486.
$150,000 of that I bumped up our house value because the Florida market is insane.
$149,843 was investment returns with minimal returns from rental and loan.
That leaves $17,807 from savings. My wife only made $30k before she quit and I only made roughly $40k once I got hired back. I would say we lived on roughly $50k in 2021.
We filed ACA for 2022 with an estimated income of $52k minus $12k IRA contributions making our MAGI at $40k. They gave us a subsidy of $1080 with that MAGI.
Our plan going forward is $52k every year which should barely cover our expenses and not touch our stash. My wife is great at clothes alteration and hopefully she can make some side money doing that.
We are CoastFIRE and this is our plan going forward.
Our stash won't grow as fast as everyone else but we feel what we have is plenty.

Still never posted in the $2M-to-$4M thread, as I wasn't sure the NW number would hold, but if it holds for the January update I think I'll pop in.  ;) 

It really is wild looking back on the numbers--from $883K to $2,074K in five years.  How does that even HAPPEN?  (I mean, I know how it happens, I guess, but the mind boggles.)

It was a really good year!  Even though we are FIREd and drawing down we are up $74k in LNW over the last year due to market gains.  TNW adds in our house equity and our kids' 529 college savings plan balances.

5/1/21     $1,027 / $1,737

Glad y’all let me stick around, but I’m back in it!

@dreadmoose Sorry to hear about your loss, but I’m still chasing with a competitive fury, no mercy. Things may change soon as we have a kid on the way and we will  be stepping back the amount we work next summer. Considering starting to track in the Lira instead of USD… if so watch out! ;)

The plan is to just keep chugging along with investments on auto-pilot the next few years and see what happens.  Cheers, folks!

Saved $0 and went up by $30,323. I used my contributions this month to complete our charitable donations for the year, during accrual we're shooting at 1% of total net worth so donations this year were $15,000 through RC Forward to GiveWell. 

Surprised of the gains this year, and hopefully we can continue the trend for awhile. Wife is on her second (and last?) maternity leave and we can't sell our old condo so we're trying to rent it out starting a week ago. It'll be nice to get that $2500 a month out of the red column but lesson's learned and all that.

@BiggerFishToFI if we convert our CAD to USD we're mighty close, or we could compete in Lira.. it sure is nice to look at that number.

Only tracking personal liquid stash and do not include my wife's savings or any Real Estate equity at this point

NW (approx):

12/2020: $1,000k
Q121: $1,045k
Q221: $1,106k 
Q321: $1,111k

Q421: $1,168k

Always wild to look at the total year, 168k gain for the year. My salary was $120k (NW grew by more than my entire salary, WILD!) and DH remained home to take care of our 1 yo daughter. I opened my first mutual fund when I was 19yo and I'm 31 now, when people say it's amazing how fast compound interest matters they aren't lying. These little green worker dollars went absolutely NUTS this year and I'm forever thankful to have started saving at such a young age in life. Transitioning from DINKs to SI1K was made far far easier by saving for it for a bunch of years that's for sure!

As Omicron fears have raged and challenges abound because of, IMO, people are not thinking intelligently but rather selfishly we are in a period of volatility that I'm not confident has a great way to end.   Thinking we will be back to treading water again for a while where money keeps going in but the balance stays flat at best.

Hello @caracarn , I don't post much on this thread but when I saw a post from a fellow Ohioan, I thought I would reply....take heart because your performance (mkt gains+additional investments) in the second half of the year is definitely better than mine on a relative basis!   I do agree with your assessment that it seems like we're in a choppy but sideways market shift now -- however, the upside of that is (assuming that you are still actively contributing to the stache) you get to invest more dollars over the next year or so at relatively flat market values so that, when the next market run occurs, you'll have more soldiers in the battle!   Good luck!
@arcturus Thanks for emerging to comment on my little post!   Yes, I am still actively investing as my calculations show at least another 2-3 years needed to get to our FIRE point and consider a change.  My wife has said she's going to likely keep doing her work, but maybe cut back and do some pro bono students as we'll have that space, and if she's working anyway I may just keep plugging away but at a much different mental state knowing that if I just start to hate what I'm in the middle of I have the full freedom to walk away and do something else.   Truly life changing position to be in and one I look forward to.   I have a bit of that now as I know we're close and could sustain some stoppage of income if needed, and I like the feeling.

Ended up a bit, and over $250K up over December 2020, so I am amazed.    I really love this layout as it makes visualizing the progress so easy.   

Got a bit of a gut punch, of my own making, about my FIRE situation as I asked for details about health insurance and am starting to realize that I was ignoring a large expenditure that by it's nature means I need to adjust our FIRE number up, which pushes my date out.   Off to go see what that looks like......

Something to consider- I went down to 60% full-time last fall, that still gives me full health insurance. If you can arrange something like that, you could partial-FIRE (or I suppose FI-partial-RE)
