11/30/20 - SEP Balance $ 15524.45 + Roth $ 1770.76 - Student loan balance $ 6897.45 = $ 10,397.76
12/30/20 - SEP Balance $ 16106.09 + Roth $ 1813.94 - Student loan balance $ 6306.71 = $ 11,613.32

01/29/21 - SEP + Roth $ 20,139.02 - Student loan balance $ 5,316.32 = $ 14,822.70
02/28/21 - SEP + Roth $ 21,680.41 - Student loan balance $ 4,000.15 = $ 17,680.26
03/31/21 - SEP + Roth $ 22,823.38 - Student loan balance $ 2,994.55 = $ 19,828.83
04/27/21 - SEP + Roth $ 24,365.29 - Student loan balance $ 1,699.29 = $ 22,666.00

Getting closer to having that student loan paid off. Hoping for next month, but in June for sure. Then onto just making money for myself! Already plan on taking that $1000 I am putting on student loans and putting into my Roth to get that built up. Have never maxed my Roth before, hoping 2021 will be the first.

Jan 2021 £64,542
Feb 2021 £66,616 Markets fell out a bit this week and I had a dabble in the Gamestop mania (came out unscathed but slightly up to entry).
March 2021 £67,305 - I was over 70k earlier this month! Markets have completely shit the bed. Look forward to looking back at this in X number of years and it barely even registering as a dip in the market.
April 2021 £71,137  - Some significant changes are underway. I've invested £1.5k into cryptocurrencies (roughly 2% of portfolio), I've got some fairly expensive elective surgery coming up that will put a dent in savings for the next few months AND our first child is on the way, so who knows what that means for my savings plans! :)

Much smaller increase than in the last months, but this was largely due to BTC being lower today than last month. Savings were roughly 1,6k € compared to 1,1k € last month, so I'm very happy with how things are going.

@catorbe, I don't mind claiming that we're racing, but I have to acknowledge that the market is doing all the work here and I'm just along for the ride!

I'm currently projecting $99k at the end of the year. We'll see what the next eight months hold.

I do not include my savings to buy expensive "fun items" like new cellphone, electronics etc. as it is not very big. My checking account is also not included as it has money I will likely spend this month. Goal for 2021 is to make it to $100K. - Aiming for June

Net worth:
2017:                          2019                                 2020

Feb2021:$86,608 (-$2482)
Mar2021:$98,860.10 (+$12,259)
Apr2021: $106,604.06 (+$7428.22): Yahoo! I made it to 100k! It took me about 5 years to get here.  Most of this is due to ridiculous gains in the stock market. I am hopeful this is my final post in this form. Its so weird that stock market gains for year to date have been far greater than my take home pay. Thanks for all the encouragement on the way, and congratulations to everyone else who will graduate this month.

February 2021: €22021,64
March 2021: €22763,55
April 2021: €23866,70

Goals for 2021:
Savings: €10.000
Investments: €25.000


The market is still doing the heavy lifting for me but this month has been really frugal. I spent around €950 while my average is €1100 and high-spend months are €1500. Although to be fair, a lot of my spending is not discretionary. Buying something simple like a new coat or new shoes, or not buying anything in particular like last month, really impact my total spending. Thanks @Rosy and @mckaylabaloney , participating in this thread is really motivating. I love seeing all the regulars from the 10k thread doing well now, @Tass, @LittleWanderer , probably more that I'm forgetting now.

I just ran some numbers this morning and well, the conclusion is, we'll have to retire early or we're going to end up with way too much money in old age!! If I keep earning this wage until conventional retirement age (unlikely, I get a nice raise every year) and keep saving and investing the same amount of money as I do now (also unlikely, because once I reach my target amount in savings, I'm going to invest everything) I'll end up with a million in my post-tax account as well as a full workplace pension at 70% of my average wage, €100k in my savings account and a paid-off home. And Mr. Imma's workplace pension + savings + investments that I didn't even factor in because I don't know the exact figures. We have no kids or nieces and nephews. We could leave it to a charity but I'd rather retire early and donate my time volunteering for a charity.

Moving along nicely. The markets are certainly helping, even though there was a little dip on the last day of the month. Hoping to reach $100k by end of the summer. Big variable -- my finding a job (or being able to negotiate cross-country remote) when my wife and I move to CA. Enjoying the ride :)

I think these realizations and decisions about what to do are what is so motivating about FIRE. Thinking about things like this helps me realize the real sense of freedom that FI brings.

The biggest realization for me is the calculator that shows the chances you'll be broke or dead with your stache. I'm hoping this will stop me from second guessing myself and enable me to take the leap once I reach my fire number.

More chances than not, you'll been gone before you're money.

4/10/21- $88405
5/2/21- $94414

A big boost since I received $5k from my family for our wedding.  I'm using it in various bank bonuses to grow it- our plan was to pay for the wedding ourselves anyway.  My fiance received $8k as well that we hope to do the same with.  I'm not including his $8k here.

We do need to pay for some wedding stuff but that shouldn't really affect things too much- it's around $6k in total we are thinking now.  Also have some v good bank bonuses paying out soon and then the rest spread out over months will be nbd.

Really hard to believe I'm almost graduated from this group in just a year and a half- it seemed so far-fetched to me when I started.

I love seeing all the regulars from the 10k thread doing well now, @Tass, @LittleWanderer , probably more that I'm forgetting now.

I keep an eye on you the same way! Love to see forward progress. :)

I just ran some numbers this morning and well, the conclusion is, we'll have to retire early or we're going to end up with way too much money in old age!!

Best problem to have . . . EVER.  Congrats @Imma !

Yes, congratulations! This indeed is a great problem to have. Good work @Imma :)

Tracking investments, emergency fund and additional pension investments (all to be used to retire together with SO!)
(not tracking company pension investments, house value and current accounts / special project savings)

15 May 2020: EUR 17,034 (started tracking)
15 December 2020: EUR 23,325

31 January 2021: EUR 24,040
28 February 2021: EUR 25,103
31 March 2021: EUR 26,263
30 April 2021: EUR 27,109
(2021 goal: EUR 35K)

Again nice and steady (and boring.....). Just happy that our small holiday did not do anything on the savings side. We had lots of nice (almost free) outings and enjoyed our time together as a family. Summer holiday will be the same (stay in country and go camping), so I do not expect this to have an impact on our savings as well. May will have a nice increase (hopefully) due to holiday pay, tax refund and insurance refund. Still deliberating whether we will put this against our mortgage or put it to savings. I just love to have our monthly expenses as low as possible, so an additional mortgage payment will result in lower expenses (not much, but all small amounts add up).

I see a lot of graduates! Congratulations!!!!!

I haven't posted for a while, in part because my wife and I had our first child, but also because getting into positive net worth was so satisfying to me, while "merely" moving upwards in positive territory can feel less exciting, perhaps oddly.

Anywho, my track record from late 2017, when I discovered MMM/got serious about my finances, until now:

12/9/2017:
Federal student loan (6.25%): 56000
Navient student loan (4.75%):  5600
Credit cards (0% until Feb. 2019):  10600
car lease (face punch!):  4800
Total debt:  77000

Retirement health savings account:  7000
457B:  2500
Cash:  4000
Total assets: 13500

Net worth:  -63500


8/16/2018:

Federal student loan (6.25%): 56000
Navient student loan (4.75%):  0
Credit cards (0% until Feb. 2019):  12400
car lease (face punch!):  2800
Total debt:  71200 (reduction of 5800)

Retirement health savings account:  10400
457B:  8200
Cash:  2000
Total assets: 20600

Net worth:  -50600 (+12900)

2-26-2019
Federal Student Loan (6.25%):  55600
Credit cards (0% until 5-2019):  10261
Car lease:  1015
Total Debt:  66876

RHSA:  12544
457B:  18499
cash:  2000
Total assets:  33043

Net worth:  -33833 (+29667 since 12-9-2017)


11-27-2019
Federal Student Loan (6.25%):  53410
Credit cards (0% until 5-2019): 0 (!!)
Car lease:  0
Total Debt:  -53410

RHSA:  16706
457B:  32281
cash:  5900
Total assets:  +54887

Net worth:  +1477!!!    (+35,310 since 2-26-19, +64,977 since 12-9-2017)


5-4-2021
Federal Student Loan (6.25%):  52128 (in forbearance, with (non)payments being counted towards PSLF!)
Total Debt:  -52128

RHSA:  26547
457B:  83271
401K (opened late 2020): 5105
cash:  16300 (3k in Chase checking, 13k in CIBC online savings account for the higher interest)
Total assets:  +131223

Net worth:  +79095 (+77618 since 11-27-19, +142595 since 12-9-2017)

It's surreal to me that my net worth has increased by 77K in about a year and a half.  Having students loans go into the best kind of forbearance (payments that I -would have- made are counted towards the 120 total qualifying payments needed for Public Service Loan Forgiveness) has been very helpful in freeing up money that I can save, both in retirement accounts and cash. 

Also, quite tragically, my FiL passed away unexpectedly in February, and among other assets, left us his car.  So the cash I had been saving up for the last 18 months to purchase a vehicle can now stay in my high yield savings account, as an honest to god emergency fund.  It does feel good to have that cash cushion available, although of course I'm quite saddened by what made it possible.

As I said, the increase in net worth has been weird to me.  At least in part, this is due to my family being fairly poor my whole childhood (free lunches in school, etc.).  So it's strange to feel like I'm "living the American dream" in that my child(ren) will almost undoubtedly be raised in more privileged conditions than I was... It's mainly a gratifying feeling, but I do have some ambivalence about things...

Anyway, it's been good to take a look backwards and take a few breaths.  I wish all of you continued success in your own journeys!

Jan 01, 2020: $74,276
Jan 04, 2021: $83,207
Feb 05, 2021: $82,000 (-1.45%, -$1,207)
March 04, 2021: $81,655 (-0.42%, -$345)
April 01, 2021: $83,034 (+1.69%, +$1,379)
May 05, 2021: $86,068 (+3.65%, +$3,034)

Sigh, it was one my most expensive months, I paid a lot for hobby-related stuff (vintage computer magazines and books, sci-fi and fantasy books), bought vitamins, many gifts, etc. My investments reached rock bottom, at least I hope they did :) But anyway, I received payments for some sold domains (around $2700), and I got my yearly bonus (~$1.7k). Next month's paycheck will be nice as well, as payroll forgot to pay my 1 day overtime. In addition, my team received a large bonus after successfully finishing a project (I'm not sure about the details but the reward can be around $700).

What do I expect from May? It's going to be similar as April, as I've already paid around $400 for a vintage computer (ZX Spectrum+) and fighting fantasy books. These are more of an investment than a hobby, my plan is that when I get bored of my vintage computers I sell them, well, maybe not with a profit, but for the same amount I bought them. It's the same situation with books, vintage computer (and fantasy) books are very much in demand here in Hungary, so there will be always a buyer with a deep pocket.

In addition to my domain side business, I started something new. It's rather an experiment than a business. I've ordered 100+ ZX Spectrum game cassettes ($150 for the whole package) with the intention of later selling them, or trading them for gaming magazines that are missing from my collection. Maybe I'll get bored selling them one by one and I rather sell them with a loss, but it is an interesting experience (and I can play with these games until those get sold).

@lifeandlimb as someone who started more than $200k in the hole, I definitely understand feeling like there's a long, long way to go (and I also understand the regrets of prior choices that have contributed to current situations! when I think about where I could be today if I hadn't taken on all that debt...). All you can do is keep doing the right thing now, and make sure that Future You is proud of what Current You is doing. The results will come!

I'm not very far ahead of you -- I'm at a NW of ~$164k now (with loads of student debt still) -- but I'm already seeing how things can start to pick up steam quickly. After I started making a concerted effort, it took me more than 2.5 years to go from $12k invested to $100k, but just a year to go from $100k invested to $200k invested. I feel like I'm just at the beginning, still (especially relative to my goals), but it's very exciting to see how exponential growth can happen. You'll see it too, because you're doing the right things now. You got this!

Thanks so much @mckaylabaloney ! In mid-2019 I had a negative net worth so at least I've come a long way. Congrats on on 100k and the ensuing momentum!

After reading only, I would like to also share my progression in this topic. Feels like I have a loooong ride to go. Let's start in May.

Code: [Select]
May 2021: € 10.132,41

Could someone help me how this works? Do you guys post your progress in this topic every month or only twice a year?

It's up to you! Many people in these "Race to whatever" threads post updates once a month (often on or near the first of the month). But you can do whatever is useful for you!

I've invested £1.5k into cryptocurrencies (roughly 2% of portfolio), I've got some fairly expensive elective surgery coming up that will put a dent in savings for the next few months AND our first child is on the way, so who knows what that means for my savings plans! :)

Just barely squeezed in over $30K after being paid today. This number might be flat for a few months as I finally reached a 6 month E-Fund and a few other savings goals, and have a few car/home things I need to fix that I've been putting off.

First large decrease since I started the race, due to the fall in BTC. Savings were roughly 2.100 € even though I already paid for flights for summer vacation however, so I'm very glad with how things are going. Hopefully not too long to cross 50k € for the second and final time.

Goals for 2021:
Savings: €10.000
Investments: €25.000


25% of the way there! It took me the best part of 2 years to go from 10% to 20% but from 20% to 25% has only been a couple of months. Another low-spend month, spent about €825. That's about as low as it gets, as about €300 of that is health-related. I bought a new to me dress for when I need to get into work again in a few weeks and that cost €15, plus some hobby and gardening supplies that together cost less than €100. The dress was a great find, it still had tags and I already own that same Benetton dress in a different colour (bought new for €35-ish a couple of years ago). That dress is one of my favourites and great quality.

Tracking investments, emergency fund and additional pension investments (all to be used to retire together with SO!)
(not tracking company pension investments, house value and current accounts / special project savings)

15 May 2020: EUR 17,034 (started tracking)
15 December 2020: EUR 23,325

31 January 2021: EUR 24,040
28 February 2021: EUR 25,103
31 March 2021: EUR 26,263
30 April 2021: EUR 27,109
31 May 2021: EUR 30,039
(2021 goal: EUR 35K)

A very good month! Due to holiday pay, so I know it might be a temporary increase. But I try to keep our holiday (in August) as cheap as possible, so this will not have a major impact on our savings. However, it is nice to see the crossing of the EUR 30K number! Still hoping to cross the EUR 35K this year, but this will be a stretch......(all depending on bonus payouts, but let's see how we move on).
Tax and insurance refunds were received, but we decided to put this to our mortgage. This will result in slightly lower payments every month, but also (more important) earlier repayment (I directed the repayments to count as decrease of term, so we shaved 6 months of our repayment of this particular mortgage part, which means that our monthly expenses in the future (when we are both retiring) will be significantly lower).


 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
