Slow gains, but at least was a gain. Moved this month to a cheaper apartment, so will save $350 extra a month from that, but incurred some moving expenses/additional damage deposit. Also some ETF drops again. Ate out for lunch a lot-  patio season is something I suck at exercising my MMM muscles on..

April '17 £1250
May '17 £2515
June '17 £3841
July '17 £6774 / $8705
August '17 £8916 / $11597 !

September '17 £10,812

Still plugging away, savings automated so I just pop in to check on them for these updates.

Have been finding it easier to avoid takeaway and minimise restaurant visits, getting out of the habit! Buying less in general and shopping around for better deals on phone/internet etc. (Not switched yet though).

I'm due some overtime pay over next couple of months and my wife is getting a pay rise, hoping to knock a few months of the FI date.

I'm almost there. No debts and $98,490.29 invested as of EOB today.

Maybe twice that if you count my paid for condo, my paid for car, everything else I own, cash & checking account. If only I'd started earlier.

I actually didn't expect an increase, tiny as it is, considering the slight downturn in the market, a brand new bike and trips to Dublin and Disney. Gonna count it as a win!

I'm in!

Currently hovering about 10-11k NW. Will be 20k once our student loans are paid off, hopefully by the beginning of next year.

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.
10/01/2017: $68.3k Investments/$65.6k Net Worth

Hello everyone! It is my first time posting in this thread, I just made by way over from the race to $10k thread which I just surpassed.

Here is a basic breakdown of the numbers as of the end of the day today:

Total Cash/Cash Equivalents: $31,642
Total Liabilities: $20,131

Net Worth: $11,511

Virtually all of my liabilities are student loans. I also have some minor balances on my credit cards, which I pay off monthly. I've been aggressively attacking the student loans (see my participation in the student loan challenge if curious) and have made steady progress.

As for asset composition,  20% are in checking accounts, 13% is in my HSA and 67% is in my 401k.

I'm looking forward to following everyone's progress. Good luck to us all!

So I’ve been semi-purposely MIA in this thread since May.  Took a big hit between moving to Alaska and being off rotation with my job.  I was planning to update this month anyway (since I just built back up to May $$ levels), but I just received an inheritance that’s been in limbo for nearly 2 years, so I got bumped up an extra ~10k. November is looking like the month I graduate!

You are so right about this Deek.  Once that focus is there, the progress picks up.  And it goes faster and faster the larger the 'stache gets.  Great job.

New to the race here.  Your posts have been an inspiration for me over the last few years (helping me climb out of $120k student loan debt in two years).  I'm very happy to to be ready to join you all in this race!

Just rolled 50k last week with my paycheck.

Started at about 10k for the beginning of the year.  Getting to the "first" 100k is definitely a big motivation

Everyone keep up the good work!

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
  9/01/17:    $86,830     $1079      $87,909
10/02/17:    $89,275     $1100      $90,375

I had a goal of $90k in the 401k by the end of the year, only $800 shy of that!!

Big increase this month mostly due to higher home valuation than in the past (+8500).  Been aggressive paying down debt and have increased our savings rate substantially.  Hope to keep the momentum rolling.

9/1/17 - $68,439
10/1/17 - $73,881

I have been fighting and clawing to save from being in negative net worth territory less than two years ago.  I can hardly believe I am on pace to exceed $80k by the end of the year barring stock market crash.  Even if it does crash though and pause/slow down progress, cheaper buying opportunities will be had!  Keep staying the course, everyone!

You're getting super close now!  Any chance you break the barrier by year end?

I really hope so, I should have a bonus coming in the next month or so that might get me really close to striking distance of graduating from the thread. I do hold a fair chunk of a really volatile ETF though, so I can have big swings (for me) from that - usually down.  Fingers crossed!

You've made a lot of progress in the last year as well! Looks like you'll be close (or graduating!) by year end as well!

Rejoining with new numbers - I started out tracking NW, but it did not feel right as it includes home equity/rental home equity/student loans, etc....  I am now only including our tax-advantaged retirement accounts as that is what feels right for me on this thread.  I expect to graduate April 2019.

First post in here, hi all!

 Jan: $16,229.65
 Feb: $14,464.52
 Mar: $15,373.56
 Apr: $16,951.54
 May: $18,680.07
 Jun: $20,697.15
 Jul: $21,899.86
 Aug: $24,282.31
 Sep: $26,223.66
 Oct: $26,253.39

It's been a ROUGH couple of weeks. My partner's father had a bad heart attack and eventually passed away (only 58!) and we had to drop everything to fly north and be here for the family. It's pretty nice to have a couple of grand socked away, even if it does mean my numbers have stalled.

And I'm there. $100,977.79 once they process the $1,000 I just put in. (More with the paid for condo and car but I'm not counting those.) On to the next milestone.

This was quicker than I though it would be, but part of that was due to the money my Mother left me in her will.
Therefore I'm hoping the next part isn't quick for a similar reason....

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

I had a goal of $90k in the 401k by the end of the year, only $800 shy of that!!

I have been hearing the radio talk about the market having "another" up day for the last few days so I decided to check my balance in the 401K ... and drumroll... I hit $90k today.  I keep expecting the market to stop climbing but I will take it!

Welcome back AcftW, though you are doing so well you won't be here long, it looks like.  :)

Thanks!  I just got paid and the market’s been good for me, I actually just passed the 100k mark but am going to wait until 1 November in case anything happens.

First time checking in! Here's what the last few months have looked like:

1/1/17: $50,628
2/1/17: $54,828
3/1/17: $56,100
4/1/17: $60,393
5/1/17: $63,775
6/1/17: $67,020

I may have an expensive summer coming up (buying a car for the first time, moving long-distance, possible break between jobs), but here's hoping I can stay on track for my goal of $80k at year's end. And then $100k before my 27th birthday in 2018!

10/1/17: $75,600

Well, it's been a while and it was an expensive summer, but I've made some progress. I did buy a (used) car, moved across the country, and had a little over a month with no income because of a break between jobs. But this new job should accelerate things a bit. I'm on track to surpass my $80k year-end goal, and should hit $100 by the end of June 2018 at the latest.

I'll throw my hat into this as a newbie saver. I just graduated and have a new modest job at 31.

Roth VTSMX currently $8995.
TSP $0.

Will update monthly. Time to get the ball rolling!

Hi there! I'm new here and looking for a place to jump in for motivation as I read my way through the forums and optimize my spending and such. Feels like I'm in the doldroms just above $50K - will I ever see progress? Grrr...

Anyway I'm going to go on my Personal Capital investments, no other assets & excluding cash on hand as that is going to budgeting and the unfortunate spending of half my emergency fund on emergency dental work.

October 2017: $55,138

I'm going to join in on this. I became aware of MMM and the general philosophy almost two years ago but a low wage (yes a poor excuse) and some travelling have prevented me from beginning the march towards £100K. I have just had a substantial pay rise and so I really need some form of accountability to make this opportunity count and also to prevent lifestyle creep, hopefully this thread can help!

I'll start the record from a couple of months before my pay rise.

05/17 £1020
06/17 £470    (-£550    /\ -50%)
07/17 £1,590 (+£1120 /\ +340%)
08/17 £2,080 (+£490   /\ +30%)
09/17 £7,250 (+£5170 /\ +350%)

Great job! Hope that happens to me with my next milestone!

I'm currently frustrated that half my net worth is in transit between TIAA and Vanguard for a rollover and I almost choked when I opened Personal Capital and saw the net worth bottoming out. I can't believe in this day and age the rollover can't be totally electronic! They tell me it could take up to 2 weeks to arrive in my rollover account...
