Belated July NW post, since we've been on vacation and busy with the end of the summer semester etc.

July: $48,495.61, +13.21%

Pretty sure we'll reach $60k by the end of the year! (There will be a ~$5.6k tuition payment coming up so that will set us back a little.)

So, my old company was bought (which is part of why I left). As a result, I got my match vested when it otherwise wouldn't be. Networth + $1,250 :D. Should be just a bit higher than $38k at the end of this month, depending on how much is spent over the next two weeks and whether or not the paycheck comes on the 31st or 1st. It's good to be on the way up after floundering for the last few months!

I also have now finished the competition! I am only counting liquid investments in my number. My current goal is to make to $500k by mid 2019, and then slow travel the globe for a year.

Summary:
05/2014 - $17k
06/2014 - $18k
07/2014 - $25k
08/2014 - $32k
09/2014 - $34k
10/2014 - $38k
11/2014 - $44k (wife changed jobs and about doubled her pay)
12/2014 - $47k
01/2015 - $55k (nice money from bonus time)
02/2015 - $63k
03/2015 - $69k
04/2015 - $75k
05/2015 - $80k
06/2015 - $89k (wife got a nice bonus!)
07/2015 - $95k
08/2015 - $100k (as of the 18th)

Here's to getting to $500k quickly!

I've read MMM for about a year now, but I'm new to the forums. I was recently promoted at work and my family and I are making a cross-country move as part of the transfer. My wife and I are 27, with no children and no student loan debt. We do carry a significant amount of CC debt (all at 0% with the use of balance transfer checks (2-3% per transaction)). We are currently trying to max out all tax-advantaged accounts (~50k/year, primary) while also paying down the CC debt (secondary). Our current goal is to reach $100k in net worth by June 2016 and $250k by her 30th birthday, with an eye towards FIRE sometime in our late 30s. We are also wanting to raise a family, but aren't planning on having children anytime in the next few years. Below is our net worth trajectory over the past 6 months:

March 2015: $36,337
April 2015: $38,120
May 2015: $42,347
June 2015: $47,346
July 2015: $56,109
August 2015: $59,985

Looking forward to hearing other stories as we all reach towards $100k!

I haven't calculated my networth of August yet, but I could already tell my networth will go down for the second time this year because of the stock market. On one side, I am super happy that I will buying some shares on sale when September hits (unless there's an amazing recovery)...but on the other hand, it is sad when you see your networth go down.

May 2015: $63,000
June 2015: $65,550
July 2015: $74,250
Not a great month, August. The markets, the exchange rate and some unplanned home expenses cropping up leading to the first negative month in 2015. Sept might be worth looking forward to, with a small hike and the expenses at the home stabilizing.

May 2015: $63,000
June 2015: $65,550
July 2015: $74,250
Aug 2015: $73,900

Despite the headwinds, initial calculations show a new worth of $37,759.70 (up from $35,569.17). Much of this is due to a combination of not spending everything we earned this month and getting the 401k match that wasn't vested when I moved it over to an IRA. I ended up with this money (about $1200) due to the previous company being acquired by another at the time of my leaving and moving 401k providers. Finally passed the old high-water mark set in May ($36,579.20). Hopefully future months are better to our net worth than the past few have been!

Hmm, tough summer. Not getting paid for three months, plus moving, plus some adventures makes for a trend in the wrong direction.

Jun 30: $20,200
Jul 31: $19,250
Aug 31: $15,350

Ouch. First paycheck at the new job arrives in ~two weeks. Looking forward to starting in the right direction again!

Up $1,744. Slowest month on the spreadsheet for me I believe, despite earning a decent amount of overtime. The market giveth, and the market taketh away....

2015 Net worth:
January: 61 647,49$
February: 63 787,57$
March: 64 489,46$
April: 65 584,07$
May: 69 863,33$
June: 69 561,33$
July: 72 747,51$
August: 71 906,04$

For the second time this year, my networth is down from the previous month. I managed to invest 717,55$ this month, but it wasn't enough for my networth to go up because of the stock market small correction. It was the biggest drop this year and all my investments took a hit.

Forgot to do last month, as I was on vacation, so this reflects two of months.

The big news is I found an RRSP account I had at a job I had 10 years ago that I'd forgotten about, which has just under 16k in it! The other investments are down due to the market, and I've been paying off the concrete we had to replace in July so not as much money going into the FI fund.

The good news is we managed the concrete without debt by saving up for it, which is a nice change from old spendy me. I do need to put some money back in a few budget categories we pillaged to avoid debt, though, so it'll slow down capital deployment for a few more months.

Since June, we've gone from $17,736.00 to $33,380, a jump of 88%! (Just wish I could keep that up!)

8/1/2015   $52,700.00

Was able to do pretty well last month all things considered! Actually hoping for a decent, much better than inflation raise this month too. But that's still hoping and unconfirmed. If it happens, I will split 50/50 of the raised amount to a debt and into increasing my TFSA contributions.

How do you forgot something important like an RRSP lol...I am sure your newly found RRSP has gone through the roof since it hasn't been touched. Plus, usually you have to send your RRSP slips when doing your tax returns, I am surprised that no one mentionned it.

I went from $64,710.93 at the 1st to $64,194.10. Ouch. As my net worth grows I have to get used to the fact that the market will have a bigger and bigger impact.

It was with a firm I never check (not even set up for online access), and so it was easy to forget about when it came to this. Also, no contributions and no withdrawals means nothing for taxes, so it's easy to overlook.  I wasn't at that job very long, as they closed the local office I was employed at about a year after I started.

The MER is no good (~2%) and the options are somewhat limited, so I'll be transferring it into my other RRSP.

Jumping in!

My financial year goes from 9/1 to 8/31, as I am a teacher and my salary change kicks in during September. It makes more sense for me that way. So, here we go:

Roth IRA: $33,598.33
VTSAX: $12,199.90
Savings/Checking: $20,408.84
Pension: $5,280
Car: ~$7,000

9/1/2015: $78,482.07

I'd like to hit $100,000 by next summer, given that I am saving/investing roughly $1400-$1800/month.

Well just like most people the market brought my net worth down in August. First time this year my net worth decreased. The good news is it wasn't self inflicted (ie creating debt). Hopefully I can save even more the next few months to capitalize on lower stock prices and keep making my net worth climb north.

7/31/2015: $36,978

Yeah...I don't even want to add mine up right now. I'm putting ~$2k/mo into my 401k and my value is dropping.  Maybe I'll check it at the end of the year, haha.

I decided to join in again.  I just paid off a medical bill and will be getting a new job and a raise soon (yay!).  The medical bill payment doesn't reflect in my net worth from 8/31/15 but will show up on this month's.  I figured out the spreadsheet doesn't crash using Explorer although the % change doesn't show anything.  I checked and the formula is entered but it doesn't seem to be computing.  I'm not sure if that's an Explorer thing or what.  I do like participating and now that I know it won't crash with Explorer, I will.  :)

EDIT: I just re-opened it in Explorer and it looks like it's working fine now.  Yay!  :)

Thanks to cash birthday gifts (and continued stashing), net worth went up despite the market:

+2.55% to 82,002.95.

Minimum target for EOY is 90,500, but hoping to get as close to the finish line as possible :-)

Looks like spreadsheet is still wacked out :/

Ooph.  I took a hit this month since for this challenge I'm only including my investment accounts as part of my NW.  Also not able to take advantage of the downturn as much as I'd like since I've diverted investable funds to helping my parents pay back a loan.  Ah well, that's how it goes.

Can I join in, but make this just for my TSP?

Currently $42,367.76. Contributions + match + loan repayments = $10,852 through year-end and $971 biweekly thereafter (3-4 years to 100K depending on the market). Loan balance is ~$20K - I could pay early but have found better things to do with the money so far. We'll see.

Thank you!  I'm happy I reached 5 O'clock Shadow, although I know it's temporary since it doesn't reflect the big medical bill payment.  Guess I'll probably be back down to Peach Fuzz next month.  :(

As I anticipated, our net worth dropped this month, by 4.72%. We paid over $6k in tuition and books, plus our investment portfolio dropped due to the stock market issues. All in all, I am pretty happy that we only dropped 4.72%! We're still on target to hit $60k by the end of the year.

Just got around to doing the calculations. Up another $1600.

So far for the year I'm at a 52% post tax and a 61% pre-tax savings rate. My effective tax rate so far this year is 15% (and that includes my ridiculous OR income taxes @ 7%)! This is the real win for me.

You got me curious about my taxes too, looks like my effective tax rate will be about 15.5% before filing taxes and possibly still getting a refund, which would draw that number down further.  I was on track for 16% before I started shoveling more money into tax advantaged accounts.  My future taxrate for the year is coming in at a mere 14.1%.  That is also including the OR income taxes.  If you believe the "tax freedom day"* thing, I should celebrate this sometime between February 20th and February 27th.

*That's if we only count income taxes and SS for this purpose and don't complicate it with other taxes paid through utilities, vehicle registration, and property tax which would put me into possibly the first or second week of March.

I've read MMM for about a year now, but I'm new to the forums. I was recently promoted at work and my family and I are making a cross-country move as part of the transfer. My wife and I are 27, with no children and no student loan debt. We do carry a significant amount of CC debt (all at 0% with the use of balance transfer checks (2-3% per transaction)). We are currently trying to max out all tax-advantaged accounts (~50k/year, primary) while also paying down the CC debt (secondary). Our current goal is to reach $100k in net worth by June 2016 and $250k by her 30th birthday, with an eye towards FIRE sometime in our late 30s. We are also wanting to raise a family, but aren't planning on having children anytime in the next few years. Below is our net worth trajectory over the past 6 months:

March 2015: $36,337
April 2015: $38,120
May 2015: $42,347
June 2015: $47,346
July 2015: $56,109
August 2015: $59,985

Looking forward to hearing other stories as we all reach towards $100k!


September 2015: $59,189

Tough month in the stock market, and my wife is looking for work following our move. The march towards $100k may be stuck in the $60's for the next few months, but the goal is still June 2016.

Up to $65,513.33 thanks to a three paycheck month. We are now ready to get approved for a mortgage and will probably buy sometime during the next few months (I expect a down payment somewhere between $45k and $55k). After that point I'll have to do this again with investments only.

Aug. 31, 2015: $15,350
Sep. 30, 2015: $12,500

I thought this month would be the end of backsliding (I'd have been up almost $200!), but extenuating circumstances has tied up about 3k in reserve cash, and until such time as it becomes available again I'm opting to leave it out of my NW calculations. Barring other circumstances, next month should actually go in the right direction. Still a lot better than this time last year.
