Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everyones wishes and goals for this year come true and that we can hopefully leave the pandemic behind us this year.

December ended on a very positive note, even though the net worth doesn't reflect this. Despite 2,8k € in savings in december and good stock market returns net worth decreased due to BTC and ETH losing quite a bit. But much more importantly on the last working day of the year I sought out my boss with a bunch of improvements I think are neccessary for us to implement in order to do better going forward. He agreed to almost all of them and agreed to a raise for myself which translates to roughly 23 % more pay before taxes as well. Some particulars are not clear yet and due to some additional non-salary compensation which might happen the actual increase could end up being closer to 25 %. This will significantly increase my savings rate going forward.

Additionally I mentioned here a few months back that my bikes were stolen. My boss offered that the company would buy a bike which I am then allowed to use freely for personal use as well. In Germany companies can claim bikes and e-bikes as business expenses while the employees do not need to pay taxes for being allowed to use them for personal use in order to incentivize more people to ride by bike instead of by car. So it's essentially a free bike for me even though I won't be the legal owner of it. I had already set my eyes on a gravelbike which was pricey but still reasonable, roughly 1,7k € new. When I showed this to my boss his exact words were: "I thought you wanted a real bike, take advantage of this." So now a pretty sweet bike for 3k € was ordered which is set to arrive in a few weeks.

I had been dreading this conversation with my boss for a long time because even though I was sure these improvements are neccessary I wasn't sure how he would react to this unsolicited advice. It went much much better than expected.

November 2021: €32537,78
December 2021: €33194,68

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

Didn't make my goal of €35k ... but also had an unexpected expensive that cost about €2200. That accounts for the difference. It was a necessity that I can easily afford, so no big deal.

@Tass @Ze Stash @LittleWanderer @shrimpwd  yay for progress!! Especially Tass for reaching the finish. It's incredible what you did. I'm so excited to see people from the 10k club make such good progress. We've come a long way on regular incomes.

Goals for 2022:
Savings: €15.000
Investments: €30.000

I expect a lot of uncertain expenses in 2022. That's why I want to increase the liquid buffer even higher. €15k is about 8 months of expenses so that's on the high side, but in the grand scheme of things 15k isn't all that much money. I hope that by the end of 2022 we'll have a much clearer picture of our financial situation. When the dust is settled down I can always put more money in the market, but I don't invest money that I may need sometime soon.

I don't track the value of my pension, my home and some sinking funds here so this is not a full picture.

Happy with the increase! Had some planned expenses, as well as Christmas gifts in December, so any forward progress is good progress! I have one more big expense that I'm expecting in the next two to three months, but my tax return will more than cover it due to get a "kicker" back from the state this year! I plan to graduate from this thread by the end of the year! Happy new year everyone!

Hi everyone,
 
My updated figures for January. I purchased 17 units of S&P500 (VUSA) this month for a total price of €1,244

The below figures show the value of my investments in the S&P500 (VUSA) excluding tax on profits - 41% in Ireland.

Jan 17 - €0
Jan 18 - €7,576
Jan19 - €17,310
Jan 20 - €19,455

Jan  21 - €27,122
Feb 21 - €27,122
Mar 21 - €32,712
Apr 21 - €35,401
May 21 - €36,474
Jun 21 - €39,160
July 21 - €41,034
Aug 21 - €42,882
Sep 21 - €43,667
Oct 21 - €46,022
Nov 21 - €47,832
Dec 21 - €50,091
Jan 22 - €48,799

My investment goal for 2022
I purchased almost €14K of the S&P in 2021. This was really good going, but was helped by Covid – I went nowhere so spent nothing! I don’t expect I’ll have such a frugal year in 2022. I do want to keep the momentum going however. My aim for 2022 is to purchase at least €12k of the S&P during the year.

Just graduated from Race to 10K thread. Looking forward to continuing my journey here now. I am just tracking my round up account and taxable investment account to see what I can do with "extra" money. I don't expect to grow quickly but grow never the less. (My wife and I have pension plans through our employers, I also have a 403b, she has a 457 also through our employers, and each have a Roth as well, so no real worries for retirement at this time) This is just another income stream for retirement!

As of today:

01/26/22  Round Up 642.33  Investment 9911.44  Total 10553.77

Congrats.  Welcome to the next race.   

If your experience is similar to mine, the speed of 'growth' will accelerate.  Your extra money should start to snowball as your investments increase.

The challenge here is to remain disciplined for (normally) a few years.  As your N/W rises, temptation starts kicking in.  Lifestyle inflation creeps up on you.  My N/W is only just over £60k now and I frequently have to reign in my brain - otherwise, I'd spend money like it was going out of fashion on random things I don't need/want.

*a bit disappointing but I had almost 3 weeks off of work due to illness so didn't bring in any money (I'm a contractor). Thankful that I kept it to this minor loss and hopefully things can climb from here. Need to work on my keeping my spending low (this month I did but it helped me realize how I've gotten into the habit of more casual spending/buying which I really can't afford). I would like to rebuild my EF as well since that was accessed this past year.

Wow, accounts took a hit this month with the market dip. Still added $1k in contributions for the month, but balance is below end of year 2021. Just keep buying while on sale and hope for a rise throughout the year. We shall see what the next month brings. I opened a new solo 401k for this year, this will allow me to put a lot more into retirement savings this year. My goal is to double my 2021 contribution in the new solo 401k account. Currently in the process of rolling the SEP into the new 401k.

Goals for 2022:
Savings: €15.000
Investments: €30.000

Still contributed my regular amount to investments but the value dropped so much that the balance today was still lower than on Jan 1st.  Paid some big bills in full this month so didn't really save much other than my regular contributions to my accounts.

I don't know how things are in the US but inflation is killing us here. The fixed rate contract with our energy supplier runs out this month and we're expecting our new rate / monthly payment to be more than twice as high as what we currently pay. We're going from €75 to €175 / month and this isn't even a bad deal. The price of natural gas has just exploded. We are already frugal with energy but will have to become even more frugal. We set the heat at 18C now (64F) but we'll try to get it down a bit lower. But I have several health issues, including chronic severe iron deficiency and I get Raynaud's phenomenon quite often so I'm not sure how much lower I can go while still being comfortable enough to work. We've been planning on doing some necessary maintenance on our home that would include a lot of additional insulation but it's extremely difficult to find someone to do it in this weird economy. No companies are willing to give us quotes because by the time they'll have the manpower to do the work, a few months from now, the cost might a be a lot higher. I don't blame them, but I'm also not going to sign a contract for a big job that does not include a price (like some companies proposed).

It's the same story for health insurance and groceries. We are frugal, grew up low income, we know how to cook cheaply. But prices have just exploded. Thankfully we are well-off enough that we don't have to compromise on quality but it does mean we'll have to spend more every month. Our joint income went up by about €100 a month but that only covers the higher energy bill.

This may sound a bit like a complainypants rant, but we're waaaay more lucky than most people. In my job I have a fixed annual raise and a yearly cost-of-living increase, and the worse the economy is the better my employer is doing. And we bought this house when we were early 20s and earning a third of what we earn now. So we'll be fine. But we see all around us that consumer prices are going up very fast, the fastest probably since we switched to Euro in 2002, while wages haven't been keeping up for years, and most pensions have not gone up since 2008.

Right now our country's alternative to social security still goes up every year, it's raised the same % as minimum wage is, but to cut costs the government has proposed to end that. Our parents can still pay their bills, but they're also all at an age where they had expected to be retired & they aren't. They've all worked and saved for retirement for 50 years only to find out they'll probably have to keep working for as long as they physically can so they have some spending money.

I just posted in the $250k - $500k thread (if you include my pension I am just over $250k. However, if you exclude my pension (sometimes I do, it depends on how I'm calculating) I fit into this thread. So here goes! I am 31 and I only started tracking liquid assets about half a year ago. The numbers have fluctuated quite a bit due to having my first kid and spending some cash reserves on medical expenses for the birth as well as his baptism party and funding a portion of his 529.

@Imma things are pretty crazy over here in the US too.  My heating bills are much bigger than last winter and the price of groceries is terrible!  I also have Raynaud's so staying warm in the winter is tough.

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 December 2021: EUR 37,355

31 January 2022: EUR 36,735

(2022 goal: EUR 45-50K)

Yes……also a downwards movement here, although I did do my regular contributions. All due to markets.
@Imma: I hear you on inflation and heating. We also received notice from our heating company that they will increase the monthly prepayment with 50%! Since we are on the public heating system, we cannot change suppliers…..
Fortunately we can still easily pay for it, but it really feels that our salary increases did not result in additional savings. We try to teach the kids to be frugal with money, but now also with energy-usage. It’s a challenge with two teens in the house.

Hey all!

I find motivating to see how great is in general people doing, I think I'll start reporting as well. I started tracking my NW Jul'20. I bought a property on Jan'20, when fires in Australia were the worst thing that had happened in a very long time.

Anyway, here go the numbers: the column in the right does not consider my house - as asset, mortgage also excluded -, the left does include both. I do have accounts in several currencies but everything is consolidated in EUR:

              NW   Liquid NW
Jul-20   47,328 €   19,245 €
Aug-20   49,579 €   21,248 €
Sep-20   52,077 €   23,491 €
Oct-20   55,935 €   27,097 €
Nov-20   58,368 €   29,322 €
Dec-20   60,712 €   31,332 €
Jan-21   63,592 €   33,828 €

Goal for 2021: take the right column to 50k!

Not the most active member of this forum, but I wanted to report how 2021 went. We had a frugal wedding and an even more frugal honeymoon. Other than that, the inflation and the exchange rate is starting to kill us in my non-Euro Eastern Europe country. Hard to know what do do, we will be postponing some big ticket items for a year or so, and maybe try to buy more EUR to protect ourselves from our local inflation.

              NW   Liquid NW
Jan-21   63,592 €   33,828 €
Jan-22   95,159 €   62,238 €

That was a nice progress. Hopefully I'll graduate from this thread in March, when I get my bonus, if any.

Keep it up, people!

@Imma

Our gas prices have doubled.  Our food shop has increased in price by around 10-15% too.

It all adds up.  I'm grateful that I've built up my N/W to a comfortable point.  If this had happened 5 years ago I'd have really struggled.

This is absolutely true for us too. 5 years ago my N/W was a couple of thousand euro, and we were earning maybe €1200 after taxes each. We would have had to cut back significantly on our expenses. And from what I've seen in supermarkets, it's mainly the staples that are becoming much more expensive, not really the luxury food. Coffee beans are maybe €0,50 more expensive per bag but some value range products are disappearing entirely.

I grew up in a working class household, I had no idea it was even possible to earn what I'm earning now (not 6 figures or something, but as of 2021 officially above average for the first time) and I've learned a lot about increasing income from the MMM forum. If we hadn't increased our income and our savings rate, and had just gotten cost of living raises, then we'd have been "working poor" by now.

Unofficially I was racing you to 100,000. I hit about $96,700 just before things started plummeting down. I hit a "low" of about $82,000 as the majority of my net worth is invested in stocks, and I'm climbing back up and out of that hole. I'm still in the upper 80s, but I hope to climb past 100,000 in the next couple of months if there's any sort of bounce back to the last month. Otherwise just plug away!

@LittleWanderer @Imma
--slightly off topic but in case you are looking for anything to make cool houses more comfortable I use a heating pad which I swear by (Theratherm). Our house can be chilly, or I can be after being in the snow so I use it to heat my back/feet/etc.  My parents live in a log house with wood heat so I bought them one as well :) Stay cozy!

Some of it has recovered in the last 2 days already, but if it was up to me downturns this early during the accumulation phase could keep going for a bit longer. Obviously not hoping for seriouse downturns with all the cryziness going on right now etc. The raise actually materialized and should allow me to increase my average monthly savings by roughly 500 €.

My N/W grew by £2,846.97 to a new total of £54,453.44.
My N/W grew by £1,721.56 to a new total of £56,175.
My N/W grew by £2,262.53 to a new total of £58,437.53.
My N/W grew by £3,196.03 to a new total of £61,633.56.
My N/W grew by £2,080.14 to a new total of £63,713.70.
My N/W grew by £189.35 to a new total of £63,903.05.

Feb update:

My N/W grew by £2,046.07 to a new total of £65,949.12.

So it was quite a good month financially. 

I did have an accident which is going to cost me a few £'s.  I want to get an MRI scan which will determine if I need surgery or not, but my NHS Dr won't let me have one because my work is sedentary (despite having a very active lifestyle).  So if I pay to go private it will be a few hundred £s for a scan and a few thousand for the surgery - but I'd be willing to pay that to drastically reduce the chances of reoccurrence and be able to continue with my hobbies/lifestyle.

New all-time high! My investments went up $500 today so let's see if it sticks :)

Have been trying to keep my spending down but we have been having all sorts of house & car issues arising. So I've picked up some extra work shifts so that I don't have to draw from here too much.

Also rebuilt my little $1000 EF (which I don't count here). And would like to build a small travel and canoe fund for the summer.

2/28/22 - 401K+Roth $ 30,620.77 (SEP-IRA rollover to 401K complete)

Still not back to my end of 2021 amount and don't expect to be for while with what is going on in the market/world. Just keep plugging away adding to the stash each week and buying funds like usual. Looking at the balance of my investments is depressing right now, but it is what it is, not in my control. Hoping for a better March.

Went to community college from 17-19, worked part time and covered my tuition. Went to University from 19-21, luckily my parents covered the university tuition. Didn't know FIRE, but I was a good saver. My net worth took a big jump on the years that I didn't have to pay tuition. Graduated spring 2021; and discovered FIRE and investing. Have a car that is paid off, but I didn't count that in.

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 December 2021: EUR 37,355

31 January 2022: EUR 36,735
28 February 2022: EUR 36,356

(2022 goal: EUR 45-50K)

Despite the regular investments and savings, the amount went down thanks to the markets. No major amounts (since I still keep a decent amount of cash), but not very motivating...... However, I'm positive that it will go up again after things will settle down here in Europe, whether it is this year or next. We're in this for the long run!

Hi everyone,

This will be my first post ever on the MMM forum! I have been stalking this page for a while and am finally mustering up the courage to post here myself.

Short introduction: 36 y/o woman from Sweden. Current after tax income per month is $3250, aiming to save $1000 per month. I need approx. $600-650.000 to FIRE which according to calculations will take me 17 years...! Hoping to be able to FIRE earlier than that though!

Financial goals for 2022 is to invest $6000 and save $4000 for my wedding next year.

Current investments & savings (not including retirement):

March 2022: $12.254

For context, I'm 27, single, and about to graduate college. Super inspired by y'all.

Pretty large swings in the last months. By today most of the gains are gone again due to the war. Had some extra spending because of a trip in early February, which feels like a million years ago now, and because of donations. I'm finding it really hard to focus on work, savings and other long-term goals in general when so close to us thousands of people are killed and millions of people see everything they've worked for their whole lives destroyed in days.

My N/W grew by £189.35 to a new total of £63,903.05.
My N/W grew by £2,046.07 to a new total of £65,949.12.

March Update:

My N/W grew by £2,489.81 to a new total of £68,438.93.

I think the markets must have rebounded quite a bit.  I just did my usual investments and actually had a very expensive month.  I spent a lot on eating out (First baby due next month, so me and DW are going on as many dates as we can) and I paid for a private consultation about my injury.  The consultation and the scan I needed cost me £1,250.  I have to have a £7k surgery, but fortunately, the Dr. I saw was more than happy to put me on his NHS waiting list so I should get it for free (but I will have to wait a few months before). 

It was an expensive accident!

It feels almost unreal. I don't have to wake up every morning to thousands of dollars of debt. First time, I feel like I have no financial burdens.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
