I only really track my 401k balance and only for the last couple years. 

In my 20s I put something like 10% in and thought I was doing great (better than average), we also tackled 1 student loan, 2 car loans, credit card debt, and bought our 1st home (now a rental).  For the last several years I have only been putting 6% (plus a company match) into the 401k, while we saved for a wedding, down payment on a house, started a family, went to 1 steady income and 1 self employed income, and are continuing the last student loan.  We are still working on paying off my last student loan and building the self employed income but I am really hoping to hit $100k in the 401k sometime in 2018, if the self employed income starts taking off and we can contribute more to an IRA I will add that into the calculations too.

I did do a quick back of the envelope net worth calculation that included debt, primary and rental home value, and vehicle value and that put net worth around $150k, but since I don't regularly track that stuff I don't want to join the next group until the retirement accounts are above $100k.

My goal is $90k by the end of year, I am starting to think I might actually hit that goal.  I must have missed early July update but I happened to check my 401K balance today and was pleasantly surprised, considering that my July contribution does not get made until the end of the month.  OH, AND I BUMPED MY CONTRIBUTION BACK UP TO 10%!!

                    401K          IRA          Total
Dec 2013:   $43,660     $0           $43,660
Dec 2014:   $52,943     $0           $52,943
Dec 2015:   $55,622     $0           $55,622
Dec 2016:   $68,870     $700       $69,570
Feb 2017:   $74,784      $700       $75,484
 4/11/17:    $76,834     $1002      $77,836
Apr 2017:   $78,946      $1026     $79,972
 5/24/17:    $80,007     $1040      $81,047
 6/05/17:    $82,048     $1057      $83,105
 7/21/17:    $84,508     $1075      $85,583

I am in! The goal is to get to 100k net worth by the end of 2018. Currently at ~21k. I have been pretty good at my goals so far. Starting out after college in Dec. 2013, I believe I had about a negative net worth of 65k. My first financial goal was to get a net worth of zero by the time I received my tax refund this year and I hit it at the end of January. My second goal was to have my private student loan (6.6%) paid off by the end of July. I made it at the end of June. Next I am hoping to have the car paid off by the end of the year. Currently have a 10k balance left on that loan.

My soft goal for the end of 2017 is 35k in net worth, only because I think I'll need it to be close to that to meet the 100k goal at the end of 2018. I have not done any hard calcs at this point, but in the mean time, I should be getting annual raises of approx. 5k beginning 11/1 for 2017 and 2018. I will also be maxing out my 401k in 2018 and hopefully the ROTH IRA as well.

In late December 2016/early Jan, I found myself searching how to save a $100k. That is how I found the thread "how hard was your first $100k?" and people on the thread kept mentioning the phrase "since I discovered money mustache..." I googled Mr. MM and discovered a new way of life. Here is to the first $100k!

Jan  2017     $45K
Feb  2017     $62k (sold one car, paid 5k CC debt).
March  17     $69k
April 2017     $77k (frugal month)
May  2017     $83k
June 2017     $93k (3 paychecks month)
July 2017      $101.1k (frugal month and the market helped a little bit).

Holly cow!! I was not sure I would be lucky enough to graduate this month (I was expecting August).  It has been a frugal year and I'm glad to see it pay off (I did have to give up an expensive hobby of modifying sport cars...money pits). As for the stash, it is 40% cash (downpayment for a house) and 60% is in retirement accounts. My next goal is to save $10k Emergency fund. After that, I will try to  hit 100K in investments. Hoping to see more graduates soon.

Couldn't wait until I had a months end NW over 10k, so I'm taking the plunge to join this thread! I was first introduced to MMM last year but it took me until now to rediscover the site and mustachian community. Here's to my first steps in becoming financially independent!!

June 2017: $9346

Welcome sir, MMM forums are the best place to be for encouragement and sensible monetary thinking!

Congrats Nairobi!!   Excellent job.  So are you jumping to the next thread now, or going to stick around here until the investments cross over?  (Nice mustachian 'dilemma' to have.  :))

Thank you Trifele! It is a nice dilemma to have. I thought about hanging around until I cross the 100k invested but that won't be a true representation of the net worth. For the sake of the momentum, I will join the next race and keep on rolling.

Jan 2017: $21.8K
Feb 2017: $28.8K
Mar 2017: $35.1K
Apr 2017: $40.9K
May 2017: $46.9K
June 2017: $51.8K
July 2017: $55.3K

I had a pretty expensive month with multiple weekend trips and also became the sole earner in our household of 2. But it was good to see it's still on the up and up. Still hoping to make my goal of reaching $75K by EOY.

Thank you JuicyCrab. I've been spending my free time reading through the different threads and getting motivation from those that have reached and are reaching financial independence.

4/28/17 $82,123.14 start of competition
5/31/17 $83,416.85 an increase of $1,293.71
6/30/17 $88,646.63 an increase of $5,229.78!
7/31/17 $97,939.57 an increase of $9,2929.94

July is always going to be my best month.  My company makes an annual contribution to my 401k which accounts for the majority of my bump this month.  Funny thing happened this month, I logged into Mint and saw my net worth at $110k.  Zillow had increased my rental house value by about $15k over night.  It was accurate but still hypothetical until I sell it (which won't be for awhile) so I manually lowered it back down to what I paid for it.  I figure it's a fair trade since I'm not fully vested in my 401k yet.  Next month could be the month I break $100k.

Headed in the right direction again, although only slightly. Market falls again this month and some travelling. Sucks seeing money your just transferred into investments immediately offset by falls in the market, but need to try and remember that I'm in it for the long haul and am getting these ETFs on sale.

Hey all, mind if I join in?

First discovered MMM ~4 years ago. It's been a long roundabout journey but I'm back and ready to buckle down.

Jul 2017: $9,729

July Update
 
Dec 2016 - 45,241
Jan 2017 - 55,143
Feb 2017 - 58,240
Mar 2017 - 69,145
Apr 2017 - 74,332
May 2017- 77,877
Jun 2017 - 82,443
Jul 2017 - 85,688

A little over 3k increase in net worth for July. Which I consider pretty good as I contributed $2500 to investment accounts and  my total investment balance only increased $60 😤.

Not starting under $10k... But hopefully I can join anyways.  My wife and I are 32 and 34 respectively, and are expecting our first child in October!

Not counting home equity($100k-ish):

My Personal RRSP: $9800(All in XAW)
My Work RRSP: 7500(Misc Sun Life Canadian Equity Index Funds)
Wife RRSP: $9900(currently in cash, in the process of transferring banks)
Chequing: $8900
Credit Card: -$3600(big credit card month partly due to eventual baby, it's paid off monthly)
Total: $32,500
Not counted: Expected tax return due to RRSP Contributions thus far: $4400

My wife will be on Mat Leave for a year starting in October, so the trek to $100k might be a slow one. During her year off, we can only save about $1k per month.  Will be able to save around $3000/month once she's back to work.

I'm going to set our $100k goal for the end of 2019.

July 31 - $36,150 (not including $4400 tax return accrual)

I only really track my 401k balance and only for the last couple years. 

In my 20s I put something like 10% in and thought I was doing great (better than average), we also tackled 1 student loan, 2 car loans, credit card debt, and bought our 1st home (now a rental).  For the last several years I have only been putting 6% (plus a company match) into the 401k, while we saved for a wedding, down payment on a house, started a family, went to 1 steady income and 1 self employed income, and are continuing the last student loan.  We are still working on paying off my last student loan and building the self employed income but I am really hoping to hit $100k in the 401k sometime in 2018, if the self employed income starts taking off and we can contribute more to an IRA I will add that into the calculations too.

I did do a quick back of the envelope net worth calculation that included debt, primary and rental home value, and vehicle value and that put net worth around $150k, but since I don't regularly track that stuff I don't want to join the next group until the retirement accounts are above $100k.

                    401K          IRA          Total
Dec 2013:   $43,660     $0           $43,660
Dec 2014:   $52,943     $0           $52,943
Dec 2015:   $55,622     $0           $55,622
Dec 2016:   $68,870     $700       $69,570
Feb 2017:   $74,784      $700       $75,484
 4/11/17:    $76,834     $1002      $77,836
Apr 2017:   $78,946      $1026     $79,972
 5/24/17:    $80,007     $1040      $81,047
 6/05/17:    $82,048     $1057      $83,105
 7/21/17:    $84,508     $1075      $85,583
 8/02/17:    $85,737     $1075      $86,812

We are now expecting a new family member in early 2018 and I haven't decided if we are going to divert anything from 401k to savings for medical/maternity leave yet.
 I really don't want to since I just bumped it back up but we will have to see how the self employment goes.  I wasn't actually able to check the IRA because I have managed to completely forget the password for now, so I just used the same number as the last check.

Still plugging away.  I'm less than a month away from being completely debt free.  I have $1600.00 on my line of credit that will be wiped out, then I can make contributions to my investments again.  I withdrew a bit from my emergency fund to help a friend with groceries and new clothes after a house fire.  I don't expect if back, it was a gift.  I do have some vehicle repairs coming up, so I may need to dip into the E-fund again, but this is what I have it for.  I'm in the military and my job is very stable, so I'm not too concerned for the short-term withdrawal from the emergency fund.

Spreadsheet updated with columns A-E. I have made it to the $60K range (please continue on an upward trend - crosses fingers and toes).

Hi all. Recent graduate from the 0-10k race, 100k seems a very long way off but I'm sure I'll get there, I think a reasonable target is 2020.

April £1250
May £2515
June £3841
July £6774 / $8705
August £8916 / $11597 !

Welcome aboard ClickHappy!  There are lots of folks here just starting on that journey to $100k. 

Great job everyone -- keep plugging along, and before you know it that big, solid $100k foundation of your financial 'house' will be built.  And from there it goes faster and faster.  Onward!

I did it! I set myself a little challenge to get to 10x NW compared to 2 years ago, when I started tracking. Really happy with that. It's also great to see that snowball getting bigger. First year my NW increased 18k, second year it increased 31k. I'm so glad I joined this thread, it's so motivating to see my own progress and really fun to see how everyone else is doing!

Only a small bump this month.  I blame it on lack of focus and a trip to Michigan.  I am going to buckle down and get over the hump next month.  I'm ready to graduate to a new thread!

Dec 2013:   $43,660     $0           $43,660

 9/01/17:    $86,830     $1079      $87,909

Still trying to decide if we are going to divert anything from 401k to savings for medical/maternity leave yet (or to add a some extra to finish off my last SL).  The IRA isn't grow very much but that is because we leave the SE money sitting in an savings account until tax time and we determine how much we owe.  Maybe that is a bad plan and we should store it in the IRA?

Good month but should have been better.  Took out 1k to start a business venture, my lease ran out on my car (thank god) but had to pay fees to get rid of it (btw never leasing again!), and bought a used car.  Still pretty good I would say.

8/1/2017 - $28,136
9/1/2017 - $29,233

Not as good as I'd like, but I did have a week of vacation. I also went through and re-did when I measured my 401k, which led to an effective decrease, but will make monitoring easier from now on.

I'm crashing two threads and this will be my joint account. I like my personal one since it's easier to motivate myself then my wife, but it still nice seeing the change in combined NW/Investments which is what matters.

29dh/29dw
Combined 120k income
Midwest City

09/01/2017: $65k Investments/$59k Net Worth

Hopefully graduate this thread by March.
