Not a bad month considering the market!

Wow, you had a REALLY good 2017!  I found MMM in very late-2014 with a similar NW and started getting serious about saving and investing in 2015 as well.  I just hit 80k, looks like we're in a tight race to graduate to the next level

It's not that impressive... I corrected my house value. I freaking lucked out and managed to buy way under market value - and this was before the market heated up. So I adjusted that number up a bit because I had way more equity in the house than I calculated. I'm not using current market value btw, the housing market here is nuts. I could put it up for 50% more than what I paid 3 years ago!

So, all in all, my savings rate was about the same as this year.

Race you to a 100k :)

Race you to a 100k :)

Challenge accepted.  Poor timing though, my main work is seasonal and I'm about to be laid off for 3 months at the end of November.  Going to have up my side hustle if I want a good shop at taking this one :)

Don't be sorry, I enjoy it, it's like a mini-FIRE I get every year!  I use the time to work on my house, up my re-sale game, clear out clutter and sell off stuff I don't need, and if I get serious I'll find some small paid gigs too.

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
September: 63,038.31 (Welcome Baby #3 medical bills)
October: 67,516.75 (So close to the December goal!)
...
2018 Dec: 68,000 (GOAL)
...
2019 Jul: 100,000 (GOAL)

Pretty decent gain despite the market.  It's helpful that a large portion of our contributions are going toward debt reduction.

Onward!

Just graduated from the race to 10k thread. 

I wont even hazard a guess as to when I'll get through this one, but I'll keep track of finances and hope for the best.

I'm 25, from Manchester, UK (obviously).  Work in the software industry, mainly account management and client relations.  I match bets in my spare time to generate some extra money.  I have a small workplace pension and need to start investing properly.  I don't include the equity in my house.  My N/W is calculated as follows:


Cash balance (including Emergency Fund) + Investments + Matched betting balance - Credit card debt.


November 2018 - £10,691.37

My stretch goal is to hit £25k by the end of November 2019.  Wish me luck! :)

Things are quite different for non-US members due to pension etc but I agree, aim high and kick ass!

Thank you! DH got a bonus we put toward our Student Loan so that gave us a generous raise in Net Worth for the month when combined with our normal savings :)

Hello all,

I join you here with a -47560. November 23rd. It is perhaps a bad month to start a dramatic lifestyle change with Christmas around the corner but any gain on this is a win I think. With a $90,000.00 household income I hoped to be positive in the next two years but with what I’ve been reading, with major changes I should be able to get that down to a year.
More discussion on another thread =)

Welcome,

One piece of advice I had read elsewhere that really stuck with me is the Mustachian variety of keeping up with the Joneses. Some people will do a crap job when saving $10k per month while others should feel great about putting away $300. Everyone has their own pace and circumstances, we can probably learn from all of the other folks on these forums but don't try to set targets based on another person's journey or circumstances.

Make a solid, attainable plan and go after it month over month.

Oh and about December being the worst month to get started, you could also look at it as a big impact opportunity because if you can stick to a plan during Christmas time then most of the other months should be way easier. Use that thought as a way to boost your confidence in the plan!

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 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
Sep2018: $23,645
Oct2018: $23,658

Nov2018: $23,948. (+$290)
Posting a little early for me, but unless we have some drastic market swings in the next 2 days, it shouldn't change.  Its been a volatile month, 3 days ago the monthly change was negative $37.  I have more than tripled my retirement savings year over year.

Thank you for the confidence boost. I will certainly keep that in mind while proceeding with the plan. On ward and unto the breach....

Jan 2018 €16.000
Feb 2018 €17.050 (+1050)
Mar 2018 €17.300 (+250)
Apr 2018 €18.600 (+1300)
May 2018 €21.200 (+2600)
June 2018 €23.300 (+2100)
July 2018 €24.400 (+1100)
Aug 2018 €25.700 (+1300)
Sept 2018 €26.100 (+400)
Oct 2018 €26.100 (+0)
Nov 2018 €29.100 (+3000!!)

Massive gain thanks to the market recovering a bit (+500 or so?), and a paycheck that's €2000 higher than normal (raise + '13th month'). I have a little business money coming in soon as well so getting reaaaally close to that €30k.

Sept'18   42,500
Oct'18     43,300
Nov'18    44,500

This has been quite the year, to double my savings was way beyond my anticipated goals but embarking on a no-shopping year really changed the game for me. I picked up more shifts, and tried to move as much as I could into savings. I'm not as young as some people on these threads, but I'm self-employed & haven't had my head on straight in regards to finances in the past.

Feels very satisfying.
Now let's see what we can do before the end of the year and then onto 2019!

11/26/17: $47,707.48
06/22/18: $72,953.75
07/27/18: $71,676.31
08/23/18: $65,034.83
10/04/17: $63,306.87
10/26/18: $64,270.98

Deck is finished, suspension rebuild on car is finished. Major expenses are behind me but I started to pay down the house more aggressively.

11/27/18: $66,467.65

The number is going up only because I am putting away funds for next quarters tax payment. Ultimate goal is paying house down aggressively but I don't count the equity into this number. Overall a very good month. Hosted part of Thanksgiving(1 of the many gtgs my family had) but since I cut away spending in other parts, I came in significantly under budget. Since gifts are bought, I am hoping for a good December.

Sept 17$8.2k
Oct 17$9.0k

Aug 18$20.8k
Sept 18$22.2k
Oct 18$21.7k

Nov 18: $22.5k, plus $550 of pending reimbursement

I've achieved a new "high score," with the help of a last-minute market bump. Starting to feel a little stuck in the early 20s, though, and with holiday travel next month I'm not projected to hit 25k until Februrary. At one point my goal was 25k in December, but October markets decided otherwise.

Counting the pending reimbursement, my savings rate is 37% this month, a little below my target of ~45%. Still, I've solidly doubled my NW from the beginning of this year. (Scorekeeping above is end-of-months, so beginning of 2018 numbers are to be found at Dec 17.) And the year's not even over!

November 2017 - $10,267
December 2017 - $11,208
January 2018 - $10,713
February 2018 - $11,869
March 2018 - $14,175
April 2018 - $14,330
May 2018 - $14,592
August 2018 - $19,246
September 2018 - $20,031
October 2018 - $19,301

November 2018 - $20,523

That number is a slight estimate, since I don't know my 401K number.   I accidentally got locked out of my account and I haven't called to fix it yet.  But hey, my 401K number changes daily and I know I'm solidly above $20K again, so that's a good enough estimate for now.

5/17/18 - 19,930.00
8/31/18 - 25,908.00
9/21/18 - 28,115.00
11/30/18 - 29,835.00

One more big credit card balance paid off. Time to start increasing some EF fundage and max out the old 401k, so the gains should start kicking in properly.

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
Aug 2018 - $72,231.70
Sept 2018 - $76,755.71
Oct 2018 -  $64,348.89
Nov 2018 - $70,839.76

An OK month. Most of the gains were from market gains. The Thanksgiving holiday got us a little loose in the wallet, but YNAB allowed us to spend that money WITHOUT adding any more credit card debt. In fact, we continued the $1,000/month payoff. Will have our last two cards completely paid off by April!

End of July NW: 84,495
End of Year projected NW: 104,324
End of August NW: 88,430.58
End of Year projected NW: 105,233.73
End of September NW: 90,725.77
End of Year Projected NW: 105,847.91

Definitely a rougher month for me expense wise. Had $700 of work expenses that I covered up front, $750 in car repairs, weekend trips to Chicago and Toronto, and the girlfriend's birthday dinner/night out.

October should set up to be a nice month - very little out of the ordinary expenses, work expense reimbursement, and ~$1200 in net bonuses.
November should also be a nice month. Raise will go into effect beginning 11/1 and its a 3 paycheck month. Goal is now to hit 100k effective 11/30.
End of October NW: 92,808.68
End of Year Projected NW: 103,981.71

Bleh stock market.
End of November NW: 98,999.81
End of Year Projected NW: 103,693.80

Seems I forgot to update recently!
1st of October '18: 11,203
1st of November '18: 11,582
1st of December '18: 12,725

Ups and downs due to market swings mostly. I do not expect to be picking up speed in this race anytime soon, because we've just bought our first house and that'll be expensive with all the costs of moving / small repairs / who knows what pops up. We'll be moving in February if all goes as planned.

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)
10/18: $73,538.91 (+3,437.64)
11/18: $69,595.61 (-3,943.30)
12/18: $73,126.64 (+3,531.03)

My spending was way down this month. Happy that between savings and the market recovery, I'm almost back to where I was at the beginning of October.

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
9/30/18 - $50,572
10/31/18 - $46,085
11/30/18 - $48,956



November Notes


Nothing terribly exciting during the month.

Same here, going to be awesome to see that extra Zero.  Looks like I've got some catch-up work to do if I want to stay in the running.  I'm now officially laid off for the season, but should have an end of year bonus rolling in soon as well as I'm starting to sell off some clutter around the house.
