It was terribly busy in September and I didn’t get a chance to get to the forums that month.  I finally hit the $100K mark at the end of September, however I’ve been thinking of giving my 2 weeks on Friday and taking a few months off (probably not, but it’s nice to dream) since work has gotten super stressful, and the next 3 months will get worse before it can get better, and I’m not sure the pay is worth my health and happiness at this point.  Burn out for 10 months now sucks.  I've reduced my 401k contribution to the match percentage to hoard cash in my checking account so I feel less worried about leaving my job (I do have 5-6 months saved up already, then discovered cobra coverage would be $418/month!).

At least I met the goal.

Only just signed up to post but been following this thread for a while and it is a huge help to keep me on track.

Since I started tracking:

07/17: £18,831
08/17: £20,396
09/17: £23,363
10/17: £24,599


Quarter of the way there. :-)


A big jump this month thanks to an incredibly generous gift from parents towards my first home purchase. Can't quite put into words how much it means. Now I have the foundation, I need to start putting more towards an index fund ISA or SIPP as I only have my relatively low pension  pot and company shares at the moment. I also need to make sure I avoid the lure of fancy new furniture for the house.

11/17 £26,243
12/17 £27,160
01/18 £28,622
02/18 £48,272

Been a while since I've posted. Started saving more now in a Vanguard ISA. Pretty turbulant end to December/early 19 due to a big trip to Central America, but worth it in my eyes :-)

Mar-18    £48,856.64
Apr-18    £49,114.25
May-18    £49,053.71
Jun-18    £48,221.75
Jul-18    £47,846.38
Aug-18    £48,974.72
Sep-18    £52,939.16
Oct-18    £51,783.55
Nov-18    £53,924.18
Dec-18    £54,660.75
Jan-19    £51,549.50
Feb-19    £51,724.76
Mar-19    £52,470.21
Apr-19    £53,910.50
May-19    £54,337.07
Jun-19    £53,887.49
Jul-19    £55,380.13
Aug-19    £56,174.30
Sep-19    £59,791.60
Oct-19    £60,712.78


starting to ramp up, and a salary increase this summer hopefully really push on over the next year or so

Another disappointing update. I lent some cash to my partner and still awaiting a superannuation payment so hopefully a nice little jump for November.
I must be a bit more disciplined.

I'm with you @Evasion --must be a bit more disciplined.
Traveling abroad led to a bit of a spending spree. I just cancelled a dinner reservation for tomorrow because we don't need to eat out at a fancy restaurant AT ALL. We have a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers (Canadian thanksgiving is much earlier than for you 'mericans), so we wouldn't even appreciate it as much as we normally would. :)

Savings has dropped and spending increased quite a bit, need to reboot!

I'm confident that my NW of >$40,000 will stick at this point (until I get paid again on 10/31) thus resulting in me being 40% of the way to the goal!

Hi all!

Looking to join this!  Current net worth is ~27K.

However; just curious over what people count in their net worth.  For example, I have a car paid off, with a value of 7K that I currently count in this equation.  Just curious if others do as well.  I've taken the plain approach of any asset (even though cars should rarely count as true assets) is an asset that I depreciate via adding the added mileage in via the Mint application.

Let me know your thoughts.

If any "official" MMM policy on counting cars exists, I would guess they are not generally counted toward NW - but everyone does it differently. Would you ever sell the car? If you're going to run it into the ground, you're not planning to extract that $7k back out of it, so it seems more like a sunk cost which you amortize over the lifetime of use. I don't count my car - or any other physical asset - but the car is the most expensive at less than $2k.

Do what works for you.

(I'm biting my nails on whether I'll make $40k this month. Currently trending toward no.)

I don't disagree with what you're saying at all and makes sense to me - however; I'll keep counting the car just b/c I list it all in Mint, and don't want to manually exclude it.  However; to truly graduate from this forum, I think i'll exclude them when I get to the 100k threshold.  For now out of ease, I'll keep it as is.  Good luck on the march to 40k!

Meet in the middle and use the salvage value instead of KBB. Whatever the value is when you do dispose of it, scrap, sell, trade-in, etc. So if you can get a reliable 500 from the junk yard, or your plan is to turn it in in 10 years when its mileage is super high and you estimate you'll get 1000 or whatever from the trade use that value.

Personally I'm amortizing my remaining car note with my cars value so the asset and debt off-set one another which most won't agree with, but long term I don't want my car to have any impact in my NW so for Mint's purposes I'm doing it this way so it has no effect from an asset or a debt perspective. I know i'll have no debt against my car eventually, but also won't keep an asset on the Balance Sheet either so I just balance it out.

The only valuable asset I have is the house I live in and I don't include it in my net worth for several reasons: the housing market is insane where I live so the equity in my home would seriously distort my NW while I can't access that money, the market value is too difficult to determine exactly every month and I can't downsize any further than this so I can't just sell and cash the money unless I wanted to go and live in a van. I can imagine that if I owned a home worth half a million that I would include (a part) of the equity in my NW because there's the option of selling and releasing that money if I wanted to.

£24,889.28

My NW increased by £132 this month which is pretty bad for me.  I had a few unusual expenses like car insurance to pay for, which cost me a few hundred £'s.  Also had some wedding-related expenses which didn't help.

Overall I contributed my usual amounts into my investment accounts.  It's just cash that I've spent so not the end of the world.

Should smash through the £25k barrier in November.

Greetings once againg, here comes October!
I did make the money back I lost on Tesla when my knock-out bull position went pooof in May this year. So my speculative fun-money made me 650€ this month. I am up by over 1.7k for October:

Investments and liquidity:                                                             €19,615
Illiquid positions (car, pension plan...):                                           €3,234
Total debt (CC on full pay, student loan, bank loan, all low interest): €6,887

Networth:                                                                                    €15,962

Dec 2017 €14.300
June 2018 €23.300 (+9k over 6 months)
Dec 2018 €35.600 (+13.3k over 6 months)
June 2019 €48.000 (+12.3k over 6 months)
July 2019 €49.400 (+1.400)
Aug 2019 €49.200 (-200)
Sept 2019 €52.600 (+3.400)
Oct 2019 €53.900 (+1.300)

And that while spending the whole month traveling in a western country! As I've finally had my work trip I'm also soon gonna get back about €1500 which will help push me over the 55k goal for November. As that will also be a double paycheck month I may even hit 60k if markets cooperate!

1 November 2019 - 62,103

Finally a nice big jump! Got equivalent of 401k paid for the quarter, brought my spending under control, rebalanced investments, got dividends, etc.
Crazy how much it can fluctuate.
I'll try to keep the momentum and see if I can end the year at +30k.
@Serendip I'm not American;) we're almost on the same amounts, let's improve our discipline and race!
I hope to graduate before end of 2020.

@Serendip I'm not American;) we're almost on the same amounts, let's improve our discipline and race!
I hope to graduate before end of 2020.

Alright--let's do it @Evasion :)
I will likely take longer than your goal of end of 2020 but a challenge is motivating.

A big mechanic bill pushed this to my second-highest spend month of the year, missing the top spot by only $10. But the stock market launched me past $40k anyway!

The stretchiest of stretch goals would be for me to hit $44.8k by the end of the year, as that would represent a doubling of my net worth in 2019 - a feat I accomplished in 2018, but of course only gets harder over time. ;) Right now I'm forecasting $44.1k. Can I make up the difference?? What suspense!

Going in the right direction again, just not as much as I had hoped, but I had some unexpected costs (again). September-December is always the most expensive part of the year for me.

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.

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
12/31/18 - $46,003
1/31/19 - $53,028
2/28/19 - $58,276
3/31/2019 - $67,340
4/30/2019 - $70,674
5/31/2019 - $69,853
6/30/2019 - $75,757
7/31/2019 - $78,206
8/31/2019 - $83,589
9/30/2019 - $83,292
10/31/2019 - $87,539

October Notes

Trucking right along, though still have a lot of room for improvement on the expense front.

July 12, 2019: $66,565
Aug 1, 2019: $68,207 (+2,47%)
Aug 29, 2019: $69,931 (+2,53%)
Sept 29, 2019: $71,138 (+1.73%)
Oct 31, 2019: $71,517 (+0,53%)

Investments performed quite bad, and there were some unexpected costs (e.g. new glasses for $250, buying some of the Christmas gifts for $100, buying a sandwich maker for $20, quarterly bank charges, excessive drinking (two times in October instead of one, LOL), incredible Belgian beer sale :) etc.).

SR was around a shameful 33%, good news is that my workplace will support my glass purchase with $100 (in theory), that would bring my SR to a less shameful 40%.

I expect that November will be better investment-wise, income-wise ($110 overtime payment) and spending-wise (I'm not planning to buy any expensive stuff this month), so my minimum target is 65% SR, normal target is 70% and maximum target is 75%.

I managed to sell one domain to an enduser, after the fees I'm expecting $900 in 6 monthly instalments. I hope this side business (or rather a hobby) can significantly help me reach my mid term goal, $100k by the end of 2021.

11/2019: $30,000.00

Living on one low income while paying for husband's schooling and supporting his family...with baby #2 on the way.
I'm hoping to double it by the time my husband's done with school in 4 years.
That might be a little ambitious (unrealistic). But hey, it's good to have a goal!

I've been using Personal Capital to track our net work for a few months, this will be a fun place to keep track and more importantly keep ourselves on the saving path!  I've only used the site to factor investment/retirement accounts against mortgage and car loan balance, I have cash set aside for home improvements\emergency so I didn't want that money to show a inflated NW, also have not used homes value to factor into the calculation.


September 1, 2018 - $16,853
October 1, 2018 - $20,234
April 2, 2019 - $64,781 (forgot about updating this, but was pretty exciting to see!)

November 6, 2019 - $89,158...the grind is paying off

Great attitude @Luz!  With that kind of focus you will be there before you know it.  Even little things really do add up. 

@M5 and @jasert39 -- you are neck and neck, nearing the finish line.  The first 100k is the hardest.  Great job!

Mid March 2019 - 45,815
20 June 2019 - 50,890

15 October 2019 - 58,927

Another nice jump, thanks to a market rally and good ol discipline! I shortened the list to show quarterly progress.
Almost two thirds of the way, I can hardly believe it.
It all works! Keen to continue and see if I can start 2020 over 70k.

11/2019: $30,000.00

Living on one low income while paying for husband's schooling and supporting his family...with baby #2 on the way.
I'm hoping to double it by the time my husband's done with school in 4 years.
That might be a little ambitious (unrealistic). But hey, it's good to have a goal!

Good luck!
