Race from 250 to 500k!

[YarnBudget]

70% and 50% savings rates are fantastic!

Thank you and @JAYSLOL for reminding me of this--I think I look at everyone's giant numbers around here and get discouraged sometimes!

Markets weren't so great this month, and no employment income as I'm offer for the summer as a teacher. Online income keeping me afloat.

I’m also sitting at almost exactly what I had this time last month, almost glad to have a pause, could use a discount on investing after that crazy run the market went on.

While in theory correct, this last week was very painful. Planning on buying a house soon but letting the markets time my exact entry date rather than following the conventional wisdom and keeping it cash. Houses in my area are appreciating fast and I can't keep up without being invested heavily, just have to compromise on the timing of my purchase.

That’s actually the exact same position I’m in lol.  We have our TFSAs and FHSAs 100% invested, and are very interested in buying a home, but we don’t know if it’ll be this year or three years from now, just letting everything ride the market while we look because I don’t earn enough to not be invested and sit in cash, we will continue to be priced out of the market if we wait in cash.

I closed out one of my investments, so the NW only dropped 2k this month. Even still, this slump is not a worry. Been busy living my life instead of watching the numbers do their thing.

I take a snapshot on the last day of every month which is what I'm posting here. When I looked yesterday, though, they are down to maybe $330k. DH is always bothered more by that than I am! Like many others, we would also like to buy a house and are thinking about the timing of it all.

I also am in talks about a job that would almost double my salary which would really supercharge this thing! Of course, it comes with more stress, some politics, some travel. Not sure that it's worth it, but man I'd love that paycheck! :)

[CanadianTeacher]

Doing my update a bit early this month as I'm back o teaching next week and things will be too busy to do the calculation. Beginning of the month was painful with the market downturn but I kept buying into the dip with my spare cash reserves. Things have mostly recovered now and then some more due to the discounted buying I was able to do. But what really picked up this month was side gig income... hoping this continues into the future and I can reach my goals faster.

In the middle of a cross country move right now, but graduated last month. Onward and upward!

Net worth consists of equity portfolio, two rental properties, and cash (checking/savings). Liabilities are month-to-month credit card (PIF every month), two mortgages on rental properties, one car loan (will be PIF 24 months from date of issue) and what’s left of my wife’s student loans.

Early payday because of the holiday weekend. What a crazy month, a $19k increase, the most ive ever had. I'm just along for the ride. Expensive month with my middle child's birthday and the return to school. But we are now settling in for a (hopefully) less expensive fall.

[Psyche]

Haven't checked in here in more than a year!  Congrats to everyone on the progress.  In August I finally crossed the finish line—for this race, at least ; P

I remember at the beginning I thought it would take forever.  But (despite the 2022 bobble) the markets have been incredible.  This table shows only my progress in this race, but 10 years ago I had less than 50K to my name.  I've never had a six-figure salary, so to have 10-xed that in 10 years feels like a real accomplishment.  Now I continue to pour money in (as much as I can!) but my stash is doing the heavy lifting for me...

Keep up your spirits, everyone!  Good luck and see you in the next race!

Holy cow.. We graduated the thread!
Despite a big unexpected expense back in February things have been going quite well. Market gains have definitely pushed this way beyond expectations. I'll give it another 2 months before I move on to the next thread, never know where the market will take us next.

Graduated the prior thread back in March, first post here. We had some big expenses including the birth of our second son! Still pending my employers contribution this year to my 401k equivalent here later in November which should get us closer to 300k.

could i be graduating by the end of the year?! a lot has changed in 3 years... 2 kids, scaling my business, leaving my 9-5. sometimes it feels like we're going nowhere, but then i look back and realize how fast our savings are growing, even as our contributions slow to almost nothing (thanks daycare).

For context: I'm 35 in a HCOL city. I'm married, but these are my own numbers since we keep our finances separate. Includes cash, retirement, and credit cards, which are used for normal expenses and paid off in full every month.

This was the first month of DW and I moving from two incomes to only one. I quit my job as of August 1 to take a semi-retirement (highly likely it transitions to permanent) and stay home with the kids while they're small. Not going to be saving quite as much, but our lifestyle is very manageable at this point with me not working and DW working from home.

First time posting in this race, I haven't logged into my MMM forum account in a while. I'm getting close! I'm going to try my best to get there by the end of the year.

These amounts only include Roth IRA, 401k, HSA, HYSA, and general investment accounts. I personally don't count any car that I own as an asset (and let's be honest, my current car is from 2007 and definitely is worth almost nothing at this point), and doesn't include my portion of the duplex that my partner and I own. That's out of pure laziness on my part to get it into my spreadsheet, but now I feel like I want to close this year out without it and then figure out how to add it to start 2025 :)

Looks like you are going to go from 250k to 500k in 2 years from Jan 2023 to Jan 2025. Basically averaging jumps of over 10k a month. Pretty awesome!
