Getting close to finishing my renovation of our house. Hopefully moving in this month! Then i will be able to speed up my saving process again. This gain is all just market gains.

Congrats to @haypug16 and @JCGreen I will be seeing you in the next thread here in a couple of months hopefully!

Missed the April update, tracking full net worth.

EOY 12.2016 - (-£10,250)
EOY 12.2017 - £4,360
EOY 12.2018 - £40,620
EOY 12.2019 - £62,523
EOY 12.2020 - £82,420
01.2021 - £84,647 (+2,227)

Only a few more months and my student loans will be paid off - exciting! Definitely feeling like I'm in the home stretch to £100K now (goal for £100K is September).

I haven't posted for a while, in part because my wife and I had our first child, but also because getting into positive net worth was so satisfying to me, while "merely" moving upwards in positive territory can feel less exciting, perhaps oddly.

Anywho, my track record from late 2017, when I discovered MMM/got serious about my finances, until now:

12/9/2017:
Federal student loan (6.25%): 56000
Navient student loan (4.75%):  5600
Credit cards (0% until Feb. 2019):  10600
car lease (face punch!):  4800
Total debt:  77000

Retirement health savings account:  7000
457B:  2500
Cash:  4000
Total assets: 13500

Net worth:  -63500


8/16/2018:

Federal student loan (6.25%): 56000
Navient student loan (4.75%):  0
Credit cards (0% until Feb. 2019):  12400
car lease (face punch!):  2800
Total debt:  71200 (reduction of 5800)

Retirement health savings account:  10400
457B:  8200
Cash:  2000
Total assets: 20600

Net worth:  -50600 (+12900)

2-26-2019
Federal Student Loan (6.25%):  55600
Credit cards (0% until 5-2019):  10261
Car lease:  1015
Total Debt:  66876

RHSA:  12544
457B:  18499
cash:  2000
Total assets:  33043

Net worth:  -33833 (+29667 since 12-9-2017)


11-27-2019
Federal Student Loan (6.25%):  53410
Credit cards (0% until 5-2019): 0 (!!)
Car lease:  0
Total Debt:  -53410

RHSA:  16706
457B:  32281
cash:  5900
Total assets:  +54887

Net worth:  +1477!!!    (+35,310 since 2-26-19, +64,977 since 12-9-2017)


5-4-2021
Federal Student Loan (6.25%):  52128 (in forbearance, with (non)payments being counted towards PSLF!)
Total Debt:  -52128

RHSA:  26547
457B:  83271
401K (opened late 2020): 5105
cash:  16300 (3k in Chase checking, 13k in CIBC online savings account for the higher interest)
Total assets:  +131223

Net worth:  +79095 (+77618 since 11-27-19, +142595 since 12-9-2017)

It's surreal to me that my net worth has increased by 77K in about a year and a half.  Having students loans go into the best kind of forbearance (payments that I -would have- made are counted towards the 120 total qualifying payments needed for Public Service Loan Forgiveness) has been very helpful in freeing up money that I can save, both in retirement accounts and cash. 

Also, quite tragically, my FiL passed away unexpectedly in February, and among other assets, left us his car.  So the cash I had been saving up for the last 18 months to purchase a vehicle can now stay in my high yield savings account, as an honest to god emergency fund.  It does feel good to have that cash cushion available, although of course I'm quite saddened by what made it possible.

As I said, the increase in net worth has been weird to me.  At least in part, this is due to my family being fairly poor my whole childhood (free lunches in school, etc.).  So it's strange to feel like I'm "living the American dream" in that my child(ren) will almost undoubtedly be raised in more privileged conditions than I was... It's mainly a gratifying feeling, but I do have some ambivalence about things...

Anyway, it's been good to take a look backwards and take a few breaths.  I wish all of you continued success in your own journeys!

Jan 01, 2020: $74,276
Jan 04, 2021: $83,207
Feb 05, 2021: $82,000 (-1.45%, -$1,207)
March 04, 2021: $81,655 (-0.42%, -$345)
April 01, 2021: $83,034 (+1.69%, +$1,379)
May 05, 2021: $86,068 (+3.65%, +$3,034)

Sigh, it was one my most expensive months, I paid a lot for hobby-related stuff (vintage computer magazines and books, sci-fi and fantasy books), bought vitamins, many gifts, etc. My investments reached rock bottom, at least I hope they did :) But anyway, I received payments for some sold domains (around $2700), and I got my yearly bonus (~$1.7k). Next month's paycheck will be nice as well, as payroll forgot to pay my 1 day overtime. In addition, my team received a large bonus after successfully finishing a project (I'm not sure about the details but the reward can be around $700).

What do I expect from May? It's going to be similar as April, as I've already paid around $400 for a vintage computer (ZX Spectrum+) and fighting fantasy books. These are more of an investment than a hobby, my plan is that when I get bored of my vintage computers I sell them, well, maybe not with a profit, but for the same amount I bought them. It's the same situation with books, vintage computer (and fantasy) books are very much in demand here in Hungary, so there will be always a buyer with a deep pocket.

In addition to my domain side business, I started something new. It's rather an experiment than a business. I've ordered 100+ ZX Spectrum game cassettes ($150 for the whole package) with the intention of later selling them, or trading them for gaming magazines that are missing from my collection. Maybe I'll get bored selling them one by one and I rather sell them with a loss, but it is an interesting experience (and I can play with these games until those get sold).

Joining so I don't feel so alone. I came across MMM around the end of 2019 while I had some credit card debt (which I've since paid off). Even though I've improved since then, I still get a bit down sometimes thinking about how far behind I am.

If 10-100k is the hardest stretch as they say, I'll need all the motivation I can get! I'm amazed seeing the numbers here. Hopefully I can hit 100k someday soon.

@lifeandlimb as someone who started more than $200k in the hole, I definitely understand feeling like there's a long, long way to go (and I also understand the regrets of prior choices that have contributed to current situations! when I think about where I could be today if I hadn't taken on all that debt...). All you can do is keep doing the right thing now, and make sure that Future You is proud of what Current You is doing. The results will come!

I'm not very far ahead of you -- I'm at a NW of ~$164k now (with loads of student debt still) -- but I'm already seeing how things can start to pick up steam quickly. After I started making a concerted effort, it took me more than 2.5 years to go from $12k invested to $100k, but just a year to go from $100k invested to $200k invested. I feel like I'm just at the beginning, still (especially relative to my goals), but it's very exciting to see how exponential growth can happen. You'll see it too, because you're doing the right things now. You got this!

Thanks so much @mckaylabaloney ! In mid-2019 I had a negative net worth so at least I've come a long way. Congrats on on 100k and the ensuing momentum!

Could someone help me how this works? Do you guys post your progress in this topic every month or only twice a year?

It's up to you! Many people in these "Race to whatever" threads post updates once a month (often on or near the first of the month). But you can do whatever is useful for you!

I've invested £1.5k into cryptocurrencies (roughly 2% of portfolio), I've got some fairly expensive elective surgery coming up that will put a dent in savings for the next few months AND our first child is on the way, so who knows what that means for my savings plans! :)

Just barely squeezed in over $30K after being paid today. This number might be flat for a few months as I finally reached a 6 month E-Fund and a few other savings goals, and have a few car/home things I need to fix that I've been putting off.

First large decrease since I started the race, due to the fall in BTC. Savings were roughly 2.100 € even though I already paid for flights for summer vacation however, so I'm very glad with how things are going. Hopefully not too long to cross 50k € for the second and final time.

Goals for 2021:
Savings: €10.000
Investments: €25.000


25% of the way there! It took me the best part of 2 years to go from 10% to 20% but from 20% to 25% has only been a couple of months. Another low-spend month, spent about €825. That's about as low as it gets, as about €300 of that is health-related. I bought a new to me dress for when I need to get into work again in a few weeks and that cost €15, plus some hobby and gardening supplies that together cost less than €100. The dress was a great find, it still had tags and I already own that same Benetton dress in a different colour (bought new for €35-ish a couple of years ago). That dress is one of my favourites and great quality.

Tracking investments, emergency fund and additional pension investments (all to be used to retire together with SO!)
(not tracking company pension investments, house value and current accounts / special project savings)

15 May 2020: EUR 17,034 (started tracking)
15 December 2020: EUR 23,325

31 January 2021: EUR 24,040
28 February 2021: EUR 25,103
31 March 2021: EUR 26,263
30 April 2021: EUR 27,109
31 May 2021: EUR 30,039
(2021 goal: EUR 35K)

A very good month! Due to holiday pay, so I know it might be a temporary increase. But I try to keep our holiday (in August) as cheap as possible, so this will not have a major impact on our savings. However, it is nice to see the crossing of the EUR 30K number! Still hoping to cross the EUR 35K this year, but this will be a stretch......(all depending on bonus payouts, but let's see how we move on).
Tax and insurance refunds were received, but we decided to put this to our mortgage. This will result in slightly lower payments every month, but also (more important) earlier repayment (I directed the repayments to count as decrease of term, so we shaved 6 months of our repayment of this particular mortgage part, which means that our monthly expenses in the future (when we are both retiring) will be significantly lower).

May was a slow paycheck month, but the net worth still went up, which is good. I was listening to a FI podcast that said even having five figures in retirement accounts is a landmark worth noting, so I've decided to feel happy about that.

I bumped my 401K contributions up by 1% and my company is now kicking in another percent.  It's not much, but it's something!!

But in the long run it will be a fortune! I changed my job last year. My previous employer paid 50% of my pension premiums (it all works a bit different here) and my current employer pays 75%. I'm making a lot more so my premium has increased, but due to the change in employer contribution it's gone up only by about €100 pre-tax/month. And I'm saving up a LOT more than I used to do.

05/31/21 - SEP + Roth $ 25,063.59 - Student loan balance $ 0 = $ 25,063.59 - Student loan is paid off!!!

Amazing to see that 6 months ago, my net worth was just over $10K and now my loan is completely paid off and my net work is over $25K. Can't wait to see what my end of year number looks like. Now to max out the Roth for the rest of the year.

02/28/21 - SEP + Roth $ 21,680.41 - Student loan balance $ 4,000.15 = $ 17,680.26
03/31/21 - SEP + Roth $ 22,823.38 - Student loan balance $ 2,994.55 = $ 19,828.83
04/27/21 - SEP + Roth $ 24,365.29 - Student loan balance $ 1,699.29 = $ 22,666.00
05/31/21 - SEP + Roth $ 25,063.59 - Student loan balance $ 0 = $ 25,063.59 - Student loan is paid off!!!

Amazing to see that 6 months ago, my net worth was just over $10K and now my loan is completely paid off and my net work is over $25K. Can't wait to see what my end of year number looks like. Now to max out the Roth for the rest of the year.

Well done @regenaeb!  go go go!

Getting closer and closer. Since last month, I've informed my boss that my wife and I are moving to CA, and the good news is that I can stay remote through the fall for sure, and also can start to look to transfer internally. I was afraid my company's co-location preference would get in the way of this. Of course there's always a chance something doesn't work out, but overall I'm happy to be moving with some stability. That's all to say -- I'm fairly certain I can keep up the pace and hopefully get to $100k in investment accounts by August or September.

I bumped my 401K contributions up by 1% and my company is now kicking in another percent.  It's not much, but it's something!!

Awesome! The 2% bump will pay big dividends in the long run!

6/7/2021: $84,957 (+4,510)

If things keep going the same I should graduate this thread in October. $28,808 added to our retirement accounts since 1/1/2021. Mind blowing, considering that's 1/3 of our gross income.  These are just our retirement/brokerage accounts, i don't include our house equity in this amount. We just refinanced and our house has increased substantially since last year when we refinanced. I'm not sure how much weight to give that though, the market seems so inflated where we are (California) So for my own records ive kept a conservative number for the house. Feels safer I suppose.

Hi guys,

My N/W grew by £2,069.06 to a new total of £42,771.24

Markets did most of the heavy lifting.  My investments were at -24% (compared to what I'd invested) 10 months ago, compared to over +30% today.  That's crazy, right?  :')

Still getting paid less with this current lockdown.  Still saving for my wedding.  Once things get back to normal and I'm married I really think my progress should skyrocket.

Hope you're all keeping well and staying safe....


I've been rubbish at posting since my last update in January! 

I've been keeping on top of my money and my N/W today is £50,142.  So I'm halfway there now.

I was wondering where you went!!! But congratulations on reaching 50k! I'm sure the next 50k will be easier than the first.

I just crossed € 70k this month. 70,500€. 

I am in awe! Payment scheme was increased at my job and my portfolio is on a run! That is 33k more than last year, when my SO at the time and I split up after a really long time, I moved into another city and when I thought the world was upside down.

Noice.

The industry I work in reopened in April, so I was incredibly busy with work from mid-Feb onwards.   I've been trying to maximise my spare time away from my desk!

I hope you're doing well?  It was a shame about the Netherlands result yesterday - I was hoping for an Ned v Eng semi final! :')

I know what you're talking about, my work has been incredibly busy lately. I also try to stay away from devices in my spare time as much as I can.

Before the tournament started the whole country was convinced it was hopeless, one good match against North Macedonia and suddenly half of the country seriously thought we were going to win. We've got some pretty decent players in our team, but it's been a while since we got anywhere in a tournament.

So I was honestly not that surprised about last night, although of course there's always a little bit of hope that we may not embarrass ourselves this year. But by the time we heard our favourite player (Donny van de Beek! Although not your team if I remember correctly ;-) ) was injured and had to drop out we were pretty much convinced they were going to fail.
