Welcome to the newcomers to the race and congrats to all on your progress!

I shook the couch cushions, and it turns out I just barely - by $25.57 - topped 100k at the end of March. See you all in the nextthread!

Welcome to the newcomers and congrats to those moving on! I had a pretty good month considering I spent a chunk on new equipment for an upcoming backpacking trip. My goal is to be over 100k by September, but I think I may cross the 100k mark shortly when I recalculate my pension worth. I conservatively measure it but think I've been undervaluing the monthly increases and will recalculate when I receive my annual statement.

Hey all! I had significant freelance income I was able to set aside for my Roth and a month of low spending, so I jumped 43% over two months ago! Yay!

The last time I checked in here my net worth was $20000 and some change now it is $22604!!!  My debt is going down slowly but surely.  It stands at 6062 I remember when it was over $11000.

[merlin7676]

Since this is a holiday weekend, I don't expect any change with the markets closed so I'll post my numbers now.
Just over 20K in 11 months...not great by people on here but I've been slowing digging myself out of debt. Last CC will be paid off in June and then all that money will roll over to savings/investing and then it will grow faster.
And not much growth this month as we had some house improvement projects going on-built a fence and new concrete patio slab.

Misleading because I had to pay 3500 upfront for some classes my work will reimburse for, but not until September.  For now it is what it is.  I very briefly had over 40k this month though, so that was cool (looking at the bright side).

Just checking back in. My NW went down (By ~175ish). Boo. (Had some large expenses-one that won't happen for hopefully a few more years and another that is the beginning of the downtrend of NW with grad school). On the plus side, I got a small (4%) raise that is going directly into my 403b upping my retirement savings to over 11%.

EDIT:  I recorded the wrong number so I fixed 5/2016 to show my net worth.  :)  Not down, as I had thought.

[FoundPeace]

Well, I have been away for quite a while, and I didn't track all of my accounts for a few of the months. Things were pretty rough what with my dad's death, my wife and I leaving the Mormon church, my ADD diagnosis, and some health problems induced by my frequent travel to Mexico for work.

Good news though, $124,966.64! Quite a bit of that is due to timing the market with the purchase of my house, because it increased in price by almost $32k since I bought it in November (based on Zillow, which has been pretty accurate for my area).

I think I would like to start this challenge again, but with investments only this time. Turns out I have just as much money in investments now ($29k) as my net worth when I started the challenge ($20k) two years ago. $100k in two years for someone with a single income supporting my wife, 3.5. year old, and 2 year old on a salary of about $60k (before taxes). It is possible!

Dude that's rough. Losing your Father and your Religion are tough things. Awesome job on pushing forward even with the changes. Feel free to message me if you need an anonymous person to write to.

[Mr.Bubbles]

3/16/16- $10,515 USD
6/8/16- $15,400 USD - I have a small stipend coming in this month from coaching the swim team at the high school i work at, hoping to hit around 20k by the end of this month after taxes and monthly bills. (two pay checks for me and one for the wife left this month + coaching stipend).

*** investments and cash only,
no debt except mortgage.

Wow, getting so close, congrats!! I anticipate being where you were in March by the end of this year. It feels so slow, but on the bright side I am over $13K ahead of where I was at the beginning of the year. We're all killin' it, though!!

[steveo]

4th January 2016 : 55k.
29th March 2016: 58k.
28th June 2016: 77k.

It's not bad considering the markets haven't been that good. I'm hopefully in the next 3 months that we get past 100k.

Great progress! Congratulations grads.

I'm quietly chuffed that mine has doubled over the 16 months since I started tracking. I wouldn't have predicted that at all.

Well the streak of raising my net worth for 9 consecutive month's came to end sadly. Moved into a new place and needed to buy a few small appliances as well as some other one time expenses that hit me hard this past month. July is a 3 pay check month and I am excited to get back on that increasing my net worth train. Now I have extra motivation to beat that 9 month Streak!

[andy85]

Somehow i just now saw this thread...and it is one i can actually not feel out of place :)

(2010-2013 amounts are my best guess. Didn't start tracking until 2014)

End of Year: Amount
2010: -$7,500
2011: $7,500
2012: $8,500 (bought a car - hence the relatively flat NW)
2013: $24,000
2014: $36,285 (Found MMM in October)
2015: $40,655 (Peaked at $48k, but then I liquidated some savings to buy a house)
Today: $48,000

There is a very slim chance i could hit 100k by the end of 2017...should get there in 2018 for sure.

2010: -$7,500
2011: $7,500
2012: $8,500 (bought a car - hence the relatively flat NW)
2013: $24,000
2014: $36,285 (Found MMM in October)
2015: $40,655 (Peaked at $48k, but then I liquidated some savings to buy a house)
2016 January1: $40,579
2016 July1: $53,694

shooting for 60-65k by the end of the year. 2017 goals will be 85-100k.

[Dancing Fool]

Just making my way over to the forum, been reading MMM off and on for the past 2 months (made my way through most of the archives at this point). I'm taking the longer road to FI - competitive ballroom and latin dance is my outside of work passion project and it's near-impossible to do well in without pretty large spending. Til the end of the year, won't be saving much except for Roth IRA and 401(k) - maxing out both including catching up for not contributing at a max-out rate the first 6 months of the year. On track to hit $100k w/o the car around 06/01/2017, assuming 0% return on investments (obviously, I'm hoping for a positive return, which would just make me hit $100k sooner). Looking forward to tracking my progress!

7/1/2016: $83,089.96 / $78,807.96 (w/ vs. w/o car - 2007 Mazda3)

Not sure how I managed to break forty, but I'll take it! (I also had to subtract the $1100 I have as a grant for school)

Decided to jump in the group if you all don't mind. I just merged all my stuff into "One Sheet to rule them all v3" so my data is a bit limited right now.

6/1/2016   $52,780.32

Mostly attributed to a reduction of debt, adding of an HSA and the stock market rebounded nicely.

Updated the house value in Mint so it was kind of a big jump, idk if it really reflects reality, but long term trends is all that actually matters so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Finishing my basement so I can rent it out.  So I look forward to that big drop, though it means that my accrual rate will go way up!  I'll be getting 2.2% per month return on that and my mortgage and the fix up loans will be fully covered by rents, so I'm excite.
