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
30 June 2021: EUR 30,721
(2021 goal: EUR 35K)

Only a small increase this month. We directed our insurance refund to the mortgage and to our special project savings. So the increase is just regular savings (and a bit of market increase). Whenever the special project savings are at their required balance, we should be able to direct more to the retirement savings.

NW went up and down this past month, flirting with crossing the halfway mark. At one point it was over $50/51k and then dropped back down.
I'm anticipating July to be a bigger paycheck month, so the NW should go up. I'm trying to strike a balance between enjoying my social life again as Covid restrictions ease, while still saving.

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

I'm learning to drive and it costs a fortune where I live. I've spent €2000 so far on my theory test, my first 21 lessons (average person needs 39) and some associated costs. I'm expecting to spend another €1500 at least in a couple of months for the rest of my lessons + my medical exam + the actual license card and getting my picture taken. The card itself is €41 already. And they wonder why so many young people don't drive....

6/7/2021: $84,957 (+4,510)
7/6/2021: $90,092 (+5,135)

Its been one year since I began tracking. Total gains of $43,797 since July of 2020. Now that things are slowing down with Covid restrictions we will begin to funnel some of our money towards vacations and travel again. So I anticipate our savings rate to slow a little. Still hoping to get to 100k by October. Great job everybody.

5/2/21- $94414
7/21/21- $93777.25

Oooook so a lil lower than before, BUT
-I spent $5000 in the last months for our wedding (most of the expenses are done)
-Spent $2400 on our honeymoon, 17 days roadtrip around Colorado which we took already.  Highly recommend doing honeymoon before the wedding!  LOL.  My fiance said he's going to contribute but I was doing a few credit card bonuses so I paid them. 
-Any future wedding spending is coming from his parents' contribution which is in his bank account currently. 

Basically spent a lot, would've hit $100k already, which is BANANAs, I make like $40-50k/year, I saved all this in less than 2 years (good investing helped too- I've averaged 30% return yearly).  My income has taken a jump since I got back 2 weeks ago since I now work 5 days a week instead of 3 at one job, and also we started taking private and insurance patients which pay more.

ALSO!  music is coming back.  I have gigs every weekend in September and October (including some weddings and polka which pay more).  Had 2 gigs last week and 2 more this week, and another 2 next week.  We have some November hits too with guarantees which is usually a drier month for us.  The main guy on my instrument who gets first preference is a band that's been on national TV, they have another thing coming up, so I am getting work usually he would have taken.  Yay for all of us getting $$ and gigz!!

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
30 June 2021: EUR 30,721
31 July 2021: EUR 31,784
(2021 goal: EUR 35K)

Nice and steady increase. Next month will be a challenge since we will go on a 2 week holiday. Although we will not leave the country, there will be extra spending.....

@Tass : you will get there. I'm with you in the slow camp and we CAN do it on smaller paychecks. It is really possible! As long as we see the numbers going up, there is a win.

Nothing special this month. Still going in the right direction. Did spend some extra money on fun things because it's summer and I want to enjoy life for a bit. But it's not like I bought a boat or something. My splurges include buying a new bikini (a nice fitted one, not one of those cheap tie string bikini's) a few books and a new pair of boots for winter.

Keep moving forward. We have our old house under contract to sell and will have it sold this month. At that point we should break the 100k mark!

You're still doing great! Slow but steady wins the race. Especially to those of us with "normal" wages, having this kind of money is life-changing. I mean, look at @Tass are you still a PhD student? How many PhD students have that kind of money? It will give you so many options even at the beginning of your career.

Had a few gigs, also got a bonus unexpectedly and a promotion.  I legit have never gotten either before in my life (most of the jobs I work it's not really possible).  Seriously considering to leave one of my jobs since I am in over my head with wedding stuff/music gigs/working 6 days a week.  Hard decisions to make but grateful I have the possibility to leave something and be financially still better than ever.  I guess I won't put in my notice until at least I graduate here...two weeks fingers crossed!!!

Also excited since one of my goals is having at least $50k stashed towards tax bomb for student loans in 2035 (based on current plan/legislation).  I realized that $22000 of my investments are for that so feeling better now about quitting one job.

Second highest month to date, due to the child tax credit payment we received in July. Our dog had to have emergency surgery, bill hasnt come for that yet but I expect it to take a nice chunk out of our "emergency fund". Depending on the outcome of that we might be reaching 100k by September instead. :)

I am still a PhD student! I hope not for that much longer. I have heard a former student talked about with awe for graduating with $30k saved and I definitely smile quietly to myself when I hear that. (To be fair, that was also 15 years ago and he graduated much faster than I did.)

Aiming for FI (and having a partner on board) definitely makes me feel a lot of freedom in choosing what I want to do next. I know empirically that I don't need to make a huge paycheck, and I also know exactly how much freedom a big paycheck will buy me if I do make one.

I'd like to join in, but how are most people calculating?


Our cash savings plus investments I'm actively working on include:

EF cash: $3,500

Vanguard Roth IRA: $7,517.95

Robinhood: $94.48

= $11,112.43


There's also about $44,000 in the retirement account from my husband's old job, but I usually ignore that since we won't have access to those funds until well after I hope we can retire.

And we have 529 accounts and savings accounts we are using for saving up towards being able to help our kids with college/other launching into adulthood expenses.  Those add up to over $14,000, but we won't be using any of that for our retirement.

And we have a mortgage (our only debt) at $212,000.


So are we going by total net worth or retirement savings?

@la Condessa , it's really up to you :). Personally, I track our investments and savings on here, leaving out the most liquid cash.  I don't think you can go wrong tracking some aspect of your financial picture to grow to SIX FIGURES

Good luck.

I calculate retirement/investments/small cash savings but I leave out home equity as we plan on staying where we are and not cashing out that equity anytime soon.

Had possibly my best month ever I think.

My N/W grew by £2,846.97 to a new total of £54,453.44.  I've already surpassed the total increase in my N/W in 2020 which, considering it's August feels crazy (although I can blame COVID for last year).

I got married last month, which was amazing.  Now that's out the way I was hoping to boost my savings.  But we've been very lucky and should be expecting a baby next Spring - so I guess we have a new 'thing' to save towards.  Exciting times and even though my N/W is modest compared to the majority on this forum, it's given me the platform to increase my happiness and reduce stress.  I have no financial concerns whatsoever.

Congratulations @Manchester , that's great news! I think you've mentioned wanting to start a family asap after marriage, I'm so happy for both of you that it happened so quickly. And I'm glad to hear you're starting this exciting new part of your life without any kind of financial stress.

I think all of us Europeans make slower progress than the members from the other side of the Atlantic, but we have to keep in mind our societies are so different. Our wages are lower but we don't have to worry as much about catastrophic life events. I'm pretty sure you're doing fantastic compared to the median of your age category in the UK. And honestly, probably compared to your parents' age category too.

Thanks Imma!
When our original date was pushed back a year the thing we were most upset about was the delay to starting our family.  We just presumed it could take months/years of trying before it happened. 

Yes, we definitely make slower progress this side of the pond!  But we have better welfare/health services/state pensions than our US counterparts, so it's swings and roundabouts I guess. 

I don't think half of my school friends will get to a £50k N/W at any point in their lives.  They just don't have the right mentality.  Going off this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48759591 My personal net worth is similar to an 'average family aged between 31-40'.  If I did mine and my wife's combined with house included it would be closer to families in their 50s!

So we're doing pretty well compared to average.  Let's revisit that in a year though when I find out how expensive babies are!  :D

I hope you're doing well?

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
