Very happy with this December, spending was at the minimal but it was also a fun month.

01/28/18: $64,688.44

An unexpected month. First, had to buy a last minute airplane ticket to fly out to my uncles funeral. A few weeks later, booked airplane tickets to Costa Rica for a vacation, within a couple of days booked the hotels and rental car. Also did my last 2018 tax prepayment.

I think I forgot to update last paycheck. I'm on track to be debt-free by the end of the first quarter this year. In the meantime, shoving $800/mo into my IRA and paying down the last of my debt which is all at 0%. I'll be interested to see how much progress I make by 3/15/19, since it will have been exactly one year from joining this thread!

Awesome, nice work!  We'll see you in the 100-250k thread in no time.

Jan 19: $24.7k

I spent like crazy this month, but between the market and a bank bonus, you can't tell. The crazy spending was in pursuit of a credit card bonus, and consists mostly of car expenses (pre-paying insurance, registration fees, oil change) and $650 worth of plane tickets - $250 of which will be credited back to me, but that has yet to materialize.

I am TANTALIZINGLY close to $25k, and in fact have technically hit it already, but I have subtracted out the rent payment that's about to hit my account. Gotta keep it consistent. I did hit 5% of 25x expenses in my investment accounts, though!

ETA: I got 2.5 paychecks this month. I get paid tomorrow (2/1) but paychecks show up in my brokerage a day early. I'll make up the other half a paycheck on the last day of February, and then get 2.5 in March as well. This also contributed to my big gain despite big spending.

Dec '19 goal: $40k

[zygote]

For context: I'm 29 in a HCOL city. I'm married, but these are my own numbers since we keep our finances separate. Includes cash, retirement, and credit cards, which are used for normal expenses and paid off in full every month.

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)
1/19: $69,733.94 (-2,712.15)
2/19: $78,918.09 (+9,184.15 - extra paycheck)

I don't have plans to spend anything today, so it's close enough to the 2/1 balance. Huge gains this month between the market, an extra paycheck, and lower-than-average spending. My goal is to graduate the thread by the end of the year. I will definitely make it based on expected contributions; only reason I wouldn't is the market taking another tumble.

Crazy month for my part. Salary increased and I got refunded for the higher salary since June last year. On track for my goal, but challenges coming up due to both me and DW will take unpaid leave from work to stay home with our son.

Great job everyone!

Thankful for the market rebounding, otherwise it would have been a bad month for me.  I spent a lot of cash this month on car maintenance, vet bills, and plane tickets.  My progress is slower than most, but I'm just going to keep at it.

Last paycheck of the year included travel and commuting reimbursement as well as small 13th month. Hitting 15k in 2018 certainly feels like a mini milestone!
This is the last time I'll be tracking my private funds, as BF and me decided to pool all our resources from now on.

It's just a different form of keeping up with the Jones's. Don't fall into that trap on the savings end either.

Massive jump this month! Of course market bounced back nicely, but my wife's company does their 401k match in January and that added a cool $4,400 to her account. On our way to $100k!

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)
Dec2018: $23,960 (+12)

Jan2019: $27,100 (+3140)
Most of the gains are due to the fact that my 401K went from 20% vested to 100% vested. There might be another small jump next month when my HSA gets all its paperwork together, but this will be the last big jump for a while. Slow and steady it is. Goal for 2019 is to make it to $45K.

[Jim Fiction]

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

1/31/19 - $53,028

January Notes

That's more like it! With the holidays over I was able to avoid major expenses, though I did pay close to $900 in medical bills for DD, otherwise the month would have been even stronger.

Well shit!

I Was hoping to hit $100k at the end of 2018 but no such luck.
Glad things have been picking up lately though. January closed at $ 88,606

Technically I have about $104k but that includes cash invested in a savings account, jointly with my wife, so I figure I'll just count my investments. Adding the savings in feels like cheating.

[JAYSLOL]

By that standard, my numbers are way off. While I don't include them in my FI progress, I do include cash and home equity in net worth calculation for this thread.

Thats ok too, it's all about tracking whatever works best for you to track.  I track my invested NW as well as my emergency fund which grows slightly as my assets do.

90s baby!!!
ETA: just looked twice and holy crap, 16k in one year. On 41k take home pay in 2018 and a rather turbulent market, I'm quite happy at that! The perfectionist in me says that other people are pulling better numbers, but then again, the perfectionist in me is rather a twatwaffle. I'm gonna pat myself on the back for staying the course and not doing so much stupid shit with money.

Nice, what a close race!  I just hit 88k, mostly just the market rebound propping up my NW over the last month.  Can't wait till next month when i start getting paychecks again.

Updated earlier because something else changes this week. We are bumping our 401K contribution up to 50% every paycheck. So, bi-weekly our contribution will be right at around $1950 added from our gross pay(including 6% match). March through early April will hopefully be a time of much overtime. Can`t wait to hit that 100K!

I forgot to update last paycheck again. Paid off another loan, so the only debt I have left is $3K at 0%. Looking at purchasing a duplex now, offer is pending, so that may mess with my NW a bit while I make repairs etc. But I also got a 5-ish percent raise at work, so all in all everything's pretty good.

Great strides, Lexde. Congrats

Was excited to see that we've almost crossed the 100k in invested assets threshold. We are still paying off student loans which is why our NW is not quite that high but we anticipate crossing the 100k in invested assets in the next couple of months, with us hitting a NW of 100k+ sometime later this year (pending markets of course). It's always good to take a step out of the grind to see that progress is actually being made regardless of how slow it feels day-to-day or week-to-week.

@lexde you've been making some impressive jumps! Good luck with the house-buying.

I broke over $10,000 on 9/9/2018. I'm up to $25k as of 2/17/2019. Couple items to note, rolled over a pension sum of almost $3k in November 18 due to changing jobs. Also received final employer match to my 401k in January 19 of about $1,600. Lastly I received $500 in an HSA contribution from my new employer. I offset my car's loan with the value of the car, and it was previously overstated by about 2k so I adjusted that value to be more in balance with the amount of the loan. My plan is to fully depreciate the value of the car as the loan is paid down. At the end it will have no value/effect on my  net worth calculations.

All said, I'm increasing my NW by about 2k a month based on those figures and would hit 100k in about 37 months putting it out to about March 2022. I believe with an upcoming raise, bonus, and other small windfalls that come and go, I'm looking at a goal of December 31st 2021 to hit 100k. Current salary is 49k.

Nice job!  That's an impressive savings rate.  Go you!

Thought I would introduce myself to the challenge, thanks to a tip from @JCGreen .

Have investments totaling ~$45,000 between DW and I, split in a few Roth IRA's and a 401k.

I haven't seen anyone else mention, so I'll ask - I'm not including any equity in my home, right? Purchased for $248K and have $168K in equity, but I'm not counting that as part of my NW for SWR calculations.

Hope to be able to make some serious headway here and reach this goal by 12/2020!

[shinn497]

Yay I can finally post here!

My NW has been over 10k for some time now. However that is including my emergency fund and some other funds I plan on liquidating.

For this I am counting 10k in my retirement accounts. This is not tax sheltered only but accounts I plan to draw from in a sustainable fashion eventually.

For now this is 3 accounts

Betterment Taxable

Betterment Roth IRA

and Fidelity Roth 401(k)

And my starting balance is ...dum  dum dum

$10073 !


EDIT: $10450 woop woop

I'm getting ~290 to my roth 401(k) soon. And I will update at the end of the month. Hoping to hit 100k in 2.5 years! Lez do dis!

Had a good/strange month really. 

Went on a short holiday.  Spent quite a bit more than I'd have liked etc, but still managed to finish the month +£1,956 which brings my total NET worth to £15,223.29.

Think the market bouncing back has helped, along with a bonus from work.  If I keep this rate up I'll be on around £20k by the summer, which seems absolutely crazy to me.
