Excellent work everyone! I have added the median in the chart, it is steady uprising for 2018!

Loving the chart, how do I get included?

Just enter your name in the username column I in the first free row (actual I45) and then enter your actual networth value in the September Column BI on the right and the historic values in the corresponding columns. The current\previous networth and other change columns on the left will be updated automatically.

1/1= 14,705
2/1/18= 18,264
3/1/18= 21,225
4/1/18= 22,741

6/1/18= 28,987
7/1/18= 31,457
8/1/18= 34,642

All packed up and ready for the new job and move across the country. I'm burning all my unused PTO in Spain for 3 weeks. New job starts Aug 20 at x2 my current salary. Looking forward to doubling my savings rate.

9/1/18= 37,413

The move went well. Still getting settled in California, but so far so good. Have to wait 3 months at the new job before I can start 401k contributions again.

When I joined this thread, I wanted to keep myself motivated as we paid off debt so I was only tracking assets here. However now that we've officially crossed the threshold over $10k net worth, I'm going to shift gears and only track our net worth here.

8/31/18: $66,874 $12,784

We've got a long way to go! We're still paying off student loans (estimated payoff Spring 2019) so our progress will probably remain steady until that's off our plate. Loose projection of graduating this thread EoY 2019 / early 2020.

Joining now but I do have some historical data. This seems like a fun competition!

I do not include my savings to buy expensive "fun items" like new cellphone, electronics etc. as it is not very big, and I just started it in July. My checking account is also not included as it has money I will likely spend this month. Money in retirement accounts that is not vested is also not included. Part of the big jump in between April and August is that part of my 401K vested 20%. My investments generally go up by over $1200 a month, so to get to 100k should take me about 5 years if it does not appreciate. My savings rate will probably be higher next year, as I am looking for a new job in a lower cost of living area, or if I keep my current job, the 401k match goes up to 6% for 4.5%.

Net worth:
Dec2017:$7800
Apr2018:$13,200
Aug2018:$22,800

Best of Luck Everyone!

Wohooo amazing Tass! And with such ease (as in, you actually managed a .2 as well ;))!

I was $200 over a goal in a month where I saw almost $400 in investment gains. It was luck. ;)

As for this month:

Jul 17$6.2k
Aug 17$6.8k
Sept 17$8.2k
Oct 17$9.0k
Nov 17$9.9k
Dec 17$11.1k
Jan 18$12.1k
Feb 18$13.6k
Mar 18$15.1k
Apr 18$16.6k
May 18$17.7k
Jun 18$18.5k
Jul 18$20.2k

Aug 18: $20.8k

That number obscures a lot of money-moving this month. The $600 gain encompasses $2300 in new investments and $2000 in planned spending out of my cash cushion. I had a three paycheck month, and I also bought every plane ticket I will need for the next six months (including an international trip) to meet a minimum spend for a cc bonus.

Next month I'm expecting over $700 in reimbursements, as well as nearly $300 for that cc bonus, so I should get boosted right back up to my previous trendline.

I also applied to a new apartment with rent way lower than I was budgeting for, and my forecast is SO CLOSE to shaving a year off the 100k goal. $350 stands between me and an expected 2022 graduation. (Slow train ftw.)

I changed my forum name to something a little more anonymous. My previous username was pretty easy to track back to me IRL.

December           2017       65,258
January              2018       67,602       (+2344)
February            2018       72,789       (+5187)
March                2018       75,413       (+2623)
April                  2018       75,770       (+357)
May                   2018       73,933       (-1837)
June                  2018       77,260       (+3327)
July                   2018       77,632       (+372)
August               2018       79,049       (+1417)
September         2018       83,381       (+4332)

I also had a good month at work. I just got a promotion that comes with an ~18k raise. I work in education and have access to a 457 and 403b, so I'm going to use the raise to pay off a few small student loans I have hanging around and then max out the 457 for next year. My husband just took on a new part time job that's going to bring in an extra +10k next year too! It's crazy how things can change in a short period of time. My main goal for the next month is to find a way to 'hide' all of that money from us so we don't see the difference in our paychecks!

Congrats to everyone on the promotions, new jobs, and life changes.

8/31: 19351.65$ (+3938.82$)

Happy with the development. Low salary this month as DW had a few days off without salary. I'm really excited about the next month as it should be quite a bit better than this!

Great job everybody!

Hello everyone! It is my first time posting in this thread, I just made by way over from the race to $10k thread which I just surpassed.

Here is a basic breakdown of the numbers as of the end of the day today:

Total Cash/Cash Equivalents: $31,642
Total Liabilities: $20,131

Net Worth: $11,511

Virtually all of my liabilities are student loans. I also have some minor balances on my credit cards, which I pay off monthly. I've been aggressively attacking the student loans (see my participation in the student loan challenge if curious) and have made steady progress.

As for asset composition,  20% are in checking accounts, 13% is in my HSA and 67% is in my 401k.

June ended around 36,000 (estimate, was too busy to exactly keep track). July ends with my NW up to $38,676.

Happy with my progress, though I've been spendier than I should.  On a plus side, it looks like I'll be taking a new job which should see a ~20% bump in pay, plus a nice sign on bonus. So my NW should begin to grow more quickly! Ohh and my commute will be dropping from 42 miles down to 2.5 miles! As a result I'll be saving a ton on gas and wear and tear on my car.

9/29/17 - $11,511 (First post in thread)
6/30/18 - $36,000
7/31/18 - $38,676
8/31/18 - $40,277

Decided to clean up my thread/format.

August Notes
I did in fact take the new job, pay bump was close to 25%. Very happy with the change thus far.

Got a nice fat final check from my prior employer, which included all of my remaining vacation time.

Sadly, the check quite nearly matched the car repair bill that I incurred a few weeks ago. Hopefully it'll be good for a while, its at almost 190K miles and I have no intention of getting another car ever anytime soon.

I haven't updated this in ages, here's how my year is going

Jan - 63.8k
Feb - 64.0k
Mar - 65.0k
Apr - 65.4k
May - 67.5k
June - 69.5k
July - 72.3k
Aug - 74.0k
Sept - 76.7k

Started slow, looking like a stronger finish though.  Was hoping to hit 100k by the end of the year, which was a little optimistic, shooting for 90 now.  Graduation, spring/summer 2019

January: €3068.76
February: €3965.75
March: €4758.99
April: €7103.66
May: €7508.32
June: €10068.37

July:
Checking account: €2046.63
Emergency Fund: €5000.00
Amortization Fund: €54.18
Goal Fund: €500.00
Investment: €3706.89
Total: €111307.7

August:
Checking account: €1490.19
Emergency Fund: €5000.00
Amortization Fund: €257
Deductible Fund: €885.00
Holiday Fund: €0.00
Investment: €3773.15
Total: €11405.34

Due to medical issues I decided to quit my part time job and focus fully on my studies, as such I also made some changes to my account structure, I changed the Goal Fund to the Deductible Fund in anticipation of having to pay that, and added a new savings account for my holiday. Didn't used to be such a fun but went on two week and half long vacations this summer and I really enjoyed it. Current goal is €800 for that, which I intend to reach with 8x €100 months. Regardless I'll probably not grow too much, being only able to save €100-200 a month at most, and as such am mostly depended on the continuation of the bull market for any gains for the next year and a half. Which if fine, my body is worth more to me then an extra year of investments.

This includes all our retirement and personal accounts for assets. It includes our credit cards, student loan, and mortgage for liabilities. It DOES NOT include our home value.

April 2018 - $52,917.42
May 2018  - $58,400.19
June 2018 - $59,686.34
July 2018  - $65,798.53
August 2018 - $72,231.70

Another great month for investments. I am also paying down our credit card total. It's down under $10k! Am planning on having that paid off in about 6 months. It'll be wonderful, and the wheels will start moving much faster!

Hello! I am new to MMM. I'm 28, recently married, and we maintain separate finances. The goal is to be in a strong financial position to maintain flexibility in the future, not necessarily RE. I have a job that I love with amazing benefits, so I am not in a hurry to retire. But as you all know, that could always change.

I have always lived below my means in that I have never held any debt, but I've never really saved. I was a grad student living on a lean stipend in a HCOL city until a year and a half ago. I'm still in the same HCOL city, but now I have a real salary, a defined contribution retirement plan, and access to 403b and 457 accounts.

Current net worth: $48,533.91
Breakdown below...
Cash: $17,747.04
Retirement plan: $18,702.39
403b: $679.16 (Just opened this 1/1/18)
Roth IRA: $11,736.04 (Did not open this until 2016 tax year)
Credit card: -$330.72 (Use this for normal expenses, pay off in full every month)

I was over $50k a week ago, but of course the stock market is going down at the moment. Shares on sale!

3/18: $48,533.91
4/18: $53,215.13 (+4,681.22 - extra paycheck)
5/18: $55,433.65 (+2,218.52)
6/18: $57,041.95 (+1,572.27)
7/18: $59,753.49 (+2,711.54)
8/18: $63,816.19 (+4,062.70)
9/18: $70,101.27 (+6,285.08 - extra paycheck)

This was a three paycheck month so I was expecting to save a lot, but I had no idea I was going to save this much. I felt like I spent a ton. My tracking says otherwise. Wow.

I've just moved out of my parents home into a house share so I will now start incurring some larger regular expenses (mainly rent and groceries). It's reassuring to know that I have 86 months worth of rent payments saved for a rainy day :)

I may be purchasing a house this fall, so it might impact how fast this 'stache grows in the future.  Weighing my options, as I don't want to be priced out of my neighborhood in the next few years.  I'm currently renting in a small part of the city that's so close to work and I love it here.

Joining!  Hi Everyone!  I "graduated" from Rosy's Race to 50k where I tracked my TSP account.  For this challenge I'll be tracking all investments (instead of total NW).  My goal is to have 100k in invested assets by June 2019.

Way to go @andy85 and @druth !

Here is my update:

2014 Jan: (129,703.05)
2015 Jan: (115,355.51)
2016 Jan: (82,545.00)
2017 Jan: 2,693.77

2018
Jan: 48,429.84
Feb: 39,863.96 (Acquired new to us mini-van at low end of our price range and at low end of mileage for vehicles in our price range)
Mar: 44,139.97
Apr: 44,650.91 
May: 48,082.98 (Awesome month for the networth despite getting to pay rent on two places and waiting on the return of one security deposit. Thank you Mr. Market!)
June: 52,774.50  (Cue up the Bon Jovi!)
July: 56,756.98 (Welcome Baby #3)
August: 63,139.77
...
2018 Dec: 68,000 (GOAL)
...
2019 Jul: 100,000 (GOAL)

Happy to have ticked up that 5th digit again.  We are actually almost to 100k in assets but the 30k of student loan debt is still holding this number down, but that is back in the crosshairs!  The December goal is looking very doable at this point provided the market continues to climb.

First MMM Forum Post! Found MMM in late December 2017. Made immediate changes. Been reading the forum for awhile now...

Investments + 403b/401k:

12/2017: $38,165 (previously sitting and earning a measly 1.35% in savings) (Before investing/pre-MMM)
01/2018: $39,072
02/2018: $47,432
03/2018: $53,824 (as of 3/12)

My spreadsheet indicates that I will reach $100k by 1/1/2019

Still plugging along...

9/13/2018 Update: $77,976

Should still be on track for an end of the year $100k goal!
