Thought I'd jump in and join this thread. I've read it pretty consistently for motivation. Work just announced some belt-tightening that's got me a bit down, but I know it'll be a marathon for me either way.

For some reason this got lost over the course of this year. I have updated it and I hope this helps people who really liked this(me being one haha).

I also really liked it! So fun to see everyone's numbers going up together. Thanks!

Welcome @scapegote!  Even if it takes you a long time to 100k (as it did for me) you'll get there!  And you're in great company.

Oh, I didn't even know about this! I went back and filled in my numbers from when I was in the Race to Positive Net Worth, and Saving to $10K threads.

edit: Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Does that throw off my stats for the Graduates tab?

The Graduates tab is manual entry(except the last two columns) when you have completed it. So you can put what ever you would like as your start dates/network for this thread

Hi everyone, I just graduated for the 10k thread. There I was just counting my invested cash as I was getting started. For this one I might include pension value and company shares as they'd be part of my stache. I'll leave my home and cash etc for my annual net worth tracking I think, want to keep it simple for monthly updating. Will probably mean I start over 50k but that's ok :)

Welcome aboard, @Gingersnaps !

It doesn't feel real how quickly things have rebounded, but I'll take it! Part of this month's increase is from an ESPP purchase.

Market rally, I guess. I’m happy to clear 90k in June, looks like I may hit $100k by mid-July. July is also a 3-paycheck month for me, which is great.

I haven’t been spending money on nearly anything this year, besides some eating out and vet stuff. Makes for a very boring life story, but good for retirement saving.

I've graduated from NW 1MM but most of my nw is tied up in real estate, and who really knows what that stuff is worth in this era.
I'm going to use this thread to hold my post-tax account accountable.

5/3/20: 64k

6/4/20: 595k
It's been a wild and scary ride with options in $C, $TSLA, $FLIR, and $DKNG, to name a few.  Gonna go back to conservative MMM mode.

I haven't been on here in a while! I guess I became a mom and all the tracking fell by the wayside.
Originally, I was tracking by myself, but since I don't plan on retiring alone, I am going to start tracking my husband's money too.

@lexde Nice job on passing $95k! I feel you on the "boring life story" thing, though to me financial well-being is hardly boring!  However... maybe you can find something fun to do.  We need to enjoy ourselves too ;)

Yee haw, good job

Absolutely, and I’m thankful for it! I do need to find some free or cheap activities soon, though!

Between my dog being very sick and not being able to leave her unattended, and the pandemic, we just haven’t gotten out much. She’s healing though, so we should return to some sort of normal soon. :-)

Hey all,

I just felt like saying this:  I know we are all committed to our growing NW passing SIX FIGURES.  Believe me, I'm as excited about this as you are.  Yet, though I am really enjoying the ride up (and the recent stock market growth), I'm also not attaching to it... because after all, it could change significantly next week, as we all know.

Instead of being attached, I figure, I just want to REACH each milestone, which helps gradually shift my new normal.  You know, so now that we have reached $70k, I am adjusting to that as the new normal.  Not too long ago, $30k was the normal.  If/when another crash happens, we'll ride it out, knowing that eventually our NW will grow back to what it was and soon expand beyond it.

This is allowing me to enjoy the ride, delighting in each new plateau, but not needing to control the stock market to be happy!  :)

I figure, just because I don't know what will happen next, or whether my portfolio will keep going up or whether the market will take it down in the short run, I still feel that it is valid (and important!) to celebrate the wins along the way.

I mean, you don't have to stay at the top of the mountain to have enjoyed the view.  Each time you reach a new plateau, you can forever say you got there, and if something happens to take off that plateau, you can look forward to getting there again (and then blowing right passed it).   No matter what happens next in the market, we are all getting used to having more and more in our stash.  And in the long run, more and more abundance becomes the new normal, so we are likely to maintain and grow that.

In the long run, it's good news all around :)

Keep up the good work!

@Gingersnaps @mckaylabaloney @scapegote Welcome to the thread, and anyone else who I may have missed that recently arrived. New faces bring new energy to an already great group of folks! Keep up the savings!!

Student Loan Debt:

01/12/19: $43,762
05/04/20: $21,456
06/05/20: $21,456


Net Worth:

03/04/19: -$30,065
05/04/20: $10,739
06/05/20: $18,006 ($7,267)

Big increase in net worth this month, even after paying some of the early closing cost on a new home this month. I expect a drop in net worth this next month as I will be closing on a house and the money will be going towards the down payment. This money will not be lost as it will become equity, but I will not be tracking it in my overall net worth. Excited to finally have my own home and it will serve as further motivation to keep my savings rates high!

@lexde, thanks for the reminder about July being a three paycheck month!

Net worth currently at $96,135.33

I haven't tracked with the diligence of other posters, but I was at about $0.00 3 years ago when I found MMM and Frugalwoods. My income has ranged from $45k to $73k in that time period (commissioned sales and some job changes).
My goal is to spend as little as possible in the next 6 weeks so that I can pass $100k and graduate to the next thread. I do have some planned spending that will take it right back down in August, but I'd still like to see that number for a while

@okcisok you're so close!!!!   

I think of you every time I look at my FIRE coloring page (borrowed your idea in 2018 to color in a bit each day until the big day).  Are you doing anything similar as you work toward getting over this hurdle?

July 12, 2019: $66,565
Aug 1, 2019: $68,207 (+2.47%, +$1,642)
Aug 29, 2019: $69,931 (+2.53%, +$1,724)
Sept 29, 2019: $71,138 (+1.73%, +$1,207)
Oct 31, 2019: $71,517 (+0.53%, +$379)
Nov 29, 2019: $73,138 (+2.27%, +$1,621)
Jan 01, 2020: $74,276 (+1.56%, +$1,138)
Feb 06, 2020: $73,621 (-0.88%, -$655)
March 05, 2020: $74,517 (+1.22%, +$896)
No data for April, I lost my interest seeing the losses :)
May 05, 2020: $68,620 (-8.59%, -$5,897)
June 04, 2020: $70,345 (+2.51%, +$1,725)

The panic after the virus decimated my net worth (literally, I saw an almost 10% drop). The reason for huge loss is that I had around 1/3 of my portfolio in a risky ETF that mainly invested in oil (yeah, I know) and suffered a 30% drop. To rub more salt into the wound, I kept buying this ETF when I thought the time had come (at -10%). Fortunately, later I could buy more when the price reached the bottom, so at least some of my investments is in the black.

On the plus side (if there's any plus side of this virus) I spent much less in the last 3 months than in previous year (by 10%, 25%, 25%, respectively), reaching a 70% SHR (75% with bonus received in April). Basically, I spent money only on meal orders, groceries, ice cream, pastries and coffee :)

I sold 2 domains for $400 and $1500 in March and April, latter was a lease so I got a steady $100 revenue for 1.5 years. No other sale since the beginning of April, I guess this is the effect of the recession.

Thought I would introduce myself to the challenge, thanks to a tip from @JCGreen .

Have investments totaling ~$45,000 between DW and I, split in a few Roth IRA's and a 401k.

I haven't seen anyone else mention, so I'll ask - I'm not including any equity in my home, right? Purchased for $248K and have $168K in equity, but I'm not counting that as part of my NW for SWR calculations.

Hope to be able to make some serious headway here and reach this goal by 12/2020!

As of 6/1/2020, we are at $93K invested. I totally forgot that I had posted here a year ago. Honestly, I thought that hitting 100K by 12/2020 would be a long shot when I posted it, but I'll hit it in another month. INSANE. I can't believe how well it works just to be on autopilot - we have our automatic investments every month, and I haven't even thought about it in, well, like a year, judging by my last post.

Just wanted to say keep at it everyone!

..A silver lining to  today's market drop...
We "lost" (on paper, that is) somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000 today.

It feels fantastic that we have enough money invested to say that ;)

Onward... no matter what!

 New Graduate from the Race to 10K thread here.  Want to thank @Trifele @Bettersafe @TyGuy @DieHard_772 and @SwordGuy for the good wishes and congratulations at my graduation.  There is no way we would have accomplished our goals without the support of that thread.

When DW and I started our goal was to get out of debt and back to saving for our futures.  Now that the debts are gone we thought we could add back in all the previous savings we had done over the prior years for retirement before we changed our ways.

6/14/2020  $50,099

I look forward to joining everyone on the next leg of the race and supporting everyone as we make this journey together.

Mid March 2019 - 45,815
20 June 2019 - 50,890
Mid September 2019 - 57,608
15 December 2019 - 65,794
15 February 2020 - 76,452
1 April 2020 - 71,465

15 May 2020 - 80,396
1 June 2020 - 86,248
15 June 2020 - 85,996

Obviously I never enjoy going backwards, but not too unhappy with this one. Invested a little extra in the dip, splurged a fair bit, which means flat net worth. That's okay considering the previous big jump.
90k before EOFY will be complicated but I should come very close at least.

Yay @mckaylabaloney it's so great to see more 10k graduates here! Like @LittleWanderer I believe - I'm not at my highest net worth ever, but after today's gains my investments are at it's highest ever.

I haven't seen @Manchester and @Hirondelle for a while I think, how are you guys doing?

Hey @Imma - All good (if not still a bit strange) here.

I've not made much progress financially as I'm furloughed and losing out on a few hundred £'s per month.  Before May payday I'd increased my N/W by £700 which I'm very happy with - but attribute mostly to markets bouncing back.  Not expecting much this month either, but really enjoying being furloughed, reduced work-related stress.  I've completely tuned out of the news, reducing social media, not using my laptop as much and my head feels very clear!  It's reinforced my desire to FIRE.

My wedding has been postponed from the end of July until March 21.  On the bright side, it gives us an extra 7 paydays before, so the wedding really shouldn't affect our cash flow.  We've decided against a honeymoon abroad and instead plan on visiting Scotland and staying in the same place where we became engaged.

We've also done a hell of a lot of work in the house/garden.  We've still got a few jobs we need to pay to have done, like new interior doors throughout.  I wanted to give it a go myself, but looking through the various youtube tutorials I just don't have the right equipment or skill-set to do it.  I didn't realise how expensive joiners were though!

How are you?  Are The Netherlands still badly affected by the pandemic or are things returning to normal there?  My family in Greece are quite comfortable now, bars and cafes have re-opened and they're allowed back to the Islands from Athens, so they can sit by the beach all day - not that I'm jealous or anything.

@Manchester we're in a pretty similar position. We still have jobs and aren't furloughed but there's little to do. I'm in my 15th week of work from home and I've been logged into work since 8am and I've done about 45 minutes of actual work so far. Unfortunately I've heard there's a 50/50 chance my job contract will not be renewed in October. But I've had tons of time for crafting, reading, DIY, gardening. Our house and garden have never looked better and my health has improved from less stress. I've lost nearly 10 kgs too - I wasn't obese before but I could do with losing a bit of weight. Instead of being away from home 12 hours a day and eating food on the go (homemade food, not convenience food, but a limited selection of easy-to-transport food) I now eat 3 sit-down meals a day. I actually bought a proper set of china and got rid of the chipped and damaged remains of the Ikea set I bought when I went to uni. I feel a bit like Hyancinth Bucket now :) Didn't go over the top though, just plates and bowls. I grow veggies in the garden and eat fresh salads every day. Minus a pandemic going on I could live like this forever.

We've flattened the curve since March, there are now only a handful of new cases every day. Schools, bars and restaurants are open again. It looks like Covid-19 was going around under the radar in my part of the country for about a month before the official first case. No idea how that happened but it explains the huge amount of cases in my hometown early in March. But as soon as the government finally started acting, the infection rate slowed down very much. Daily life feels very normal here now. Is that also the case in Manchester? I've got friends in London who still talk about empty shelves in stores and long lines. That doesn't happen here anymore.

Hi all,
Newbie here, although lurking for a few months.
Discovered MMM a few years ago. Starting to look at our financials, but could not really get my SO on board for the extreme savings (fortunately he is not real big spender either). However, my now defined goal is to be able to retire together with him, so for this, I need at least EUR 150K. The first step is to get to that famous EUR 100K. I just started saving in my own account and have some investments in ETF's. In 2 years time, I went from 0 to EUR 18K at the moment, but I would like to gain a little momentum and have you guys supporting me to get to the 6 figure number.
English is not my first language, so any spelling mistakes can be blamed on that.

Wow sound's like you're smashing it - and I'm definitely going to refer to you as Imma 'bouquet' moving forward.

I agree with you.  If life carried on like this I'd be very happy (but that's very easy to say having not been affected by the virus).

I definitely think that COVID-19 was prevalent across Europe in February.  I know so many people who've had terrible flu in Feb and early March, but were never tested for COVID-19.  They're starting to roll out antibody tests here so people can see if they've had the virus or not.  They ran a study last month and found roughly 1 in 4 people in London had caught it and around 1 in 20 throughout the rest of the UK.  In urban areas like Manchester, they estimate it was more like 1 in 8, but the numbers were skewed by more remote areas where the virus is less likely to spread.  IMO the British government have handled the outbreak terribly.  With hindsight, we should have gone into lockdown weeks earlier and tens of thousands of lives should have been saved. 

Life is returning to normal here.  Legally we can now visit non-essential stores on the high street (if it's possible to keep a 2m distance whilst inside).  We can have friends around to visit in the garden etc.  Most people are being sensible and adhering to the rules, but over the past few weeks, Manchester has had 2 or 3 large scale BLM protests (one with easily over 100k attendees) a BLM counter-protests (still trying to get my head around why anyone would attend something like that).  We had 3 illegal raves on Saturday attracting over 7k people - and now our 'R-rate' is over 1, which means COVID is increasing in Manchester rather than decreasing.  We're being threatened with further lockdowns, but implementing restrictions will be very difficult as the public is growing increasingly tired of the constraints. 

We still don't have bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes etc yet.  Even though it's behind closed doors our football is back tomorrow and I'll be watching City in my dad's back garden (assuming we don't have another storm like last night) :')

I am glad that these savings haven't been decimated with living costs. I've had no work for many months but even before that I had been sick following overseas travel so didn't really work in February either. It's been almost 5 months off of work..unreal. Starting back today, for two days/week. Won't be much but it's a start.

Should be a quiet summer. Will try to keep the cost of living low as the garden and CSA will be producing..

Monthly Update:

Net Worth (minus house equity) increased £1,257.21 to £32,854.38 which is my new highest N/W to date.

All gains completely down to the market recovering.  I've been investing my usual amounts into my pension and ISA, but due to ongoing pandemic, my earnings are quite a bit lower than normal.  After investments and regular monthly bills, I'm not making any real progress.  But if I come out of this period with a higher NW than before I'll be very happy.

An ambitious aim is to reach £40k by December 31st.

Graphs and visual data attached.

American Funds: $10,824
Robinhood: $18,200 (but fluctuating +/500 these days)
Edward Jones: $28,070
House equity: $58,000

Mortgage balance: $97,000

Total: ~$17,000

Kinda anxious to pay down the mortgage, especially since even more money can flow into investments that way. Calculations seem to indicate that throwing my stocks into the mortgage after I reach that level will net me more in the long term than paying it down at my current monthly rate of $1170 at 4.5% interest. I should probably redo those calculations under a refinancing scenario though.

If you have $58,000 in house equity and a mortgage of $97,000, then I assume your house is currently valued at $155,000. Along with your other assets of $57,094 that puts your total assets at $212,094. Less the mortgage of $97,000 is actually a net worth of $115,094. I'm sure you have a reason to list it the way you do, but i'm not sure what it is because as it's stated you're double discounting yourself with that mortgage. Care to elaborate? :)
