I haven't clocked in here yet, even though it was suggested. As such:

Net Worth As Of Year Open

Assets

Property Value - $150,000
RPP - $2700
TFSA - $4500
RRSP - $850
Savings Accounts - $0
Chequing Accounts - $20

Liabilities

Mortgage - $20,000
Credit Cards - $7000
CIBC Loan - $4500
Desjardins Loan - $10,000
Income Tax Owing - $1570

Net Worth - $115,000

Net Worth At Year End

Assets

Primary Residence Value - $150,000
Secondary Property Value - $55,000
RPP - $3500
TFSA - $150
RRSP - $900
Pension - $2000
Savings Accounts - $4750
Chequing Accounts - $10,550

Liabilities

Primary Mortgage - $17,900
Secondary Mortgage - $47,950
... and that's it.

Updated Net Worth - $161,000


A year and a half later here comes an update. I'm also going to really streamline this.

Assets

Primary Residence Value - $150,000 (I'm leaving this alone)
Commercial Property Value - $55,000 (Leaving this alone as well)
Latest Property Acquisition - $15,000 (I will be leaving this value locked in here too)
Retirement Assets - $14,125
Cash Assets - $49,250

Liabilities

Primary Mortgage - $7,450
Secondary Mortgage - $41,250
... and that's it.

Updated Net Worth - $234,675

For a total upward movement of $73,675. If all goes well we may graduate from this race before the year is out!

Well, I was going to wait for the end of the year for this. But I guess there's no point in waiting.

Assets

Primary Residence Value - $150,000
Commercial Property Value - $55,000
Latest Property Acquisition - $15,000
Retirement Assets - $17,350
Cash Assets - $46,800
Vehicular Assets - $15,200 (decided to add this for more accurate true net worth tracking)

Liabilities

Primary Mortgage - $6,400
Secondary Mortgage - $40,000
... and that's it.

Updated Net Worth - $252,950

Which would bump me up over the quarter million mark... but I'm not sure. As you can see, not much has really changed beyond including the value of my fleet. I paid down the mortgages, added a little to retirement... I'm not sure. I'm not really feeling like I've truly "made it" yet.

I think I'll be back at the end of the year, once we get all those end of year pension statements and such. Maybe then it will feel more real to me.

Count me in!!! Just graduated from the race to 100k. Started that race halfway through, but took me approx 10 months, with an average monthly increase of $5500. My growth was mainly driven by large amounts of overtime at work, so that pace may not be completely sustainable. However, I'll try to maintain that pace, and hopefully market gains will help along the way :). Goal for this race is Jan 2020

4/28/17 $82,123.14 start of competition
5/31/17 $83,416.85 an increase of $1,293.71
6/30/17 $88,646.63 an increase of $5,229.78
7/31/17 $97,939.57 an increase of $9,292.94
8/31/17 $98,975.02 an increase of $1,034.45

10/31/17 $105,330.40 an increase of $3,898.80

A surprisingly great month for me.  I had a small unexpected windfall of $700 due to tax over payment which just went directly into my cash reserves.  Market increase did the rest.  Next month I start house hacking and will pick up an additional $350 by getting a roommate.

Posted to Ottawa, made tracking impossible due to having to pay things that would all be repaid in October)
Nov/17 174,000  (And still awaiting 5k from the military!)

Moved to Ottawa in August, and no longer deployed overseas, so the money has stopped fire hosing it's way into my accounts.
Best news of it all though, with the move I was able to deploy 45k from the previous mortgage into the stock market.

30-Sep-17: $192,217
31-Oct-17: $199,128

Investment accounts increased by $77,489 in the year since I have been tracking! I don't imagine the market gains I've enjoyed this past year will continue on this pace, but we have steadily increased our contributions and hope to continue to over the next year as well as we find opportunities.

Joining this thread bc as I shift from one big goal (killing student loans over 5% interest) to balancing multiple goals (saving for downpayment, increasing tax deferred contributions, paying off the last of the student loans) I think it will be good to keep an eye on the big net worth picture.

Retirement only, does not include real estate or emergency savings:

January 2015: $98,619

January 2016: $101,235
December 2016: $140,779 (total NW $269,089)

January 2017: $151,307 (total NW $276,052)
February 2017: $156,620 (total NW $285,663)
March 2017: $161,585 (total NW $302,055)
April 2017: $166,111 (total NW $306,801)
May 2017: $169,686 (total NW $327,523)
June 2017: $171,784 (total NW $335,026)
July 2017: $175,590 (total NW $342,138)
August 2017: $176,250 (total NW $347,833) Glad to see a small increase despite an unexpected $3,000 emergency special assessment this month for my rental condo.
September 2017: $180,271 (total NW $349,265)
October 2017: $185,318 (total NW $350,236) some adjustment in the condo estimate affected total NW this month

I know the total NW is over $250k but I'm focused on retirement only for this challenge. A good chunk of the NW is real estate equity.

Poor month that I intended to be a good one. Lots of celebrations I didn't expect to cost as much as they did (weddings, dinners, trips). Next month should be good except for Christmas presents, which for my family aren't too expensive.

$211,023.90, up $5,618.12.

Higher than usual expenses...birthday present for best friend, new smartphone to replace my Nexus 4, and prepaid for a year's worth of mobile service.

Received my annual raise...the usual 3% we all get.

I logged into my 403(b) account and happened to notice that they have added a new 457(b) option on top of it. Will start payroll deductions on the next check ;). Should still be able to shovel enough in there to get me out of the IRA phaseout range. Sweet.

Looks like it was a good month for our investment accounts!

Expenses were pretty much on track this month. I had to pay a $500 car deductible this month for an accident (oops!) and it raised our car insurance rates about 65% (yikes). Shopped around but ultimately couldn't get a better rate for auto + home, so it looks like we're stuck with the higher premiums until the accident falls off my record. I also tried to refinance some of my wife's student loans, but couldn't get a better rate than the 3.75% fixed we're currently paying.

We went to the last of 4 weddings this year - hoping next year is quieter on that front.

Holding onto a bit of a cash buffer in our accounts until we decide what to do - it will either go to home renovations, solar panels (! - need to get quotes), or maybe an investment property.   

Still targeting $250k by July 2018.

11/1/2017: INV-$242,953.93    NW-$250,846.10

Gave the contractor a $15K check which will eventually be reimbursed by insurance which accounts for the flat NW.  Again, we only saved $6,500 so the market made up the difference in investment growth.  For perspective, my 401K alone earned about $2K this month.  Crazy.
If the trend continues, we should be graduated from this thread next month!

Feb. 1, 2017 - 106,500
Mar. 1 2017  - 102,500
Apr. 1  2017 -  110,000
May 1  2017 -  112,500
June 1 2017 -  113,500
July  1 2017 -  120,500

Sept. 1 2017-  131,000
Oct.  1  2017-  131,500
Nov. 1  2017 - 135,000

After a three month stagnation it is a relief to see some growth again.  Looking forward to posting in 2018, I'll be disappointed if I don't break 150,000 with my EOY disbursement, and hope to crack $160,000 if I'm lucky.  Regardless, if I get to $153,000 I'll have kind of met my savings goal for the year of $50,000, since much of that came from gains instead of savings.  :/

We are trying our best to keep costs low during this house buying/moving process but after living in a furnished apartment for 4.5 years, we don't really own furniture and will be getting a lot of stuff new (to us). We close in 2 weeks and that's when the rest of the down payment comes due so we'll be sliding even farther back.

Congrats on the house! Unless you want to specifically exclude home equity in your NW calculations, you could track the 5% (and the rest of the downpayment) and your equity in the house as it grows.

We bought a house in May and it was definitely painful how expensive that month was, between paying for inspections, closing costs, movers, etc. We also suddenly had way more space to furnish, but my advice is to buy furniture slowly rather than all at once if you can. We ran into a bunch of unexpected little expenses up front, like needing a lawnmower and blinds and bottles of hand soap for all the bathrooms, etc. Also, living in the house for a while may change your perspective on exactly what furniture you want for each room.

I include home equity in my NW calculation as appraisal price minus outstanding mortgage debt (roughly what I think I'd walk away with if I sold the house tomorrow, minus selling costs).

I just like being able to include the small fraction of my mortgage payment that's going towards principal in my increase each month :) And I expect our neighborhood to appreciate in the coming years, so I want to track how that value grows.

But some people specifically exclude it from net worth tracking since it's not a liquid asset and there's no such thing as actually being able to sell your house tomorrow for cash.

I include the current value (and mortgage) into my NW because it's net worth rather than net investments or net liquid or whatever else. That means I also include the value of my car, too. I don't count clothing, collectibles, etc, because they are just too hard to value month-to-month. If it were easier, I'd include them as well.

07-17: $134,794
08-17: $138,767
09-17: $139,162

Not the best of months, a stock pick has lost a significant amount this month (Teaches me to stock pick). Also I have my wedding coming up so there is a fair few expenses on the horizon. Just have to keep plugging away 250k here we come :p

06-17: $127,000
07-17: $134,794
08-17: $138,767
09-17: $139,162
10-17: $154,318

Big jump this month, superannuation has gone up plus some nice gains in the market. Can only hope that this month is just as good, only time will tell.

06-17: $127,000
07-17: $134,794
08-17: $138,767
09-17: $139,162
10-17: $154,318
11-17: $160,267

Another good month! Considering that we had to pay for a new gym membership, car service and engagement party this month.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

I realize I'm joining this party two years after it started, but it looks like so much fun! I don't recall exactly when we hit 100,000. Began tracking NW in a spreadsheet not too long after that.
Oct 2015 - 117,000
Mar 2016 - 157,000
Dec 2016 - 171,000
Apr 2017 - 210,000
July 2017 - 217,000
Nov 2017 - still need to calculate

Seeing the progress is incredibly motivating! DH is mustachian by nature; for me, I have to constantly work at my frugality muscles. We're making this work on one middle-class income for 2 adults, one toddler, and one on the way. I'm guessing we'll hit $250K by middle of 2018.

We've had some recent setbacks - major hope repairs (12K) and bought a used Prius for cash (11K). Anticipating a slew of hospital bills come end of year when baby arrives. Hoping to rebuild the cash hoard over the next few months.

Keep up the good work, everyone!

Welcome to all the newcomers!

Another good month last month :-) Up $6,177.06 to $199,392.86. So close to $200k!! Oh well, should be this month unless the stock market goes on sale ;-)

We have a tracking spreadsheet:

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that spreadsheet. I entered all my data on the Data Entry tab, but I don't show up on the The Big Board.

That's because someone silly modified the hidden columns that have the formulas that do that stuff :-) Someone silly made it so there were empty cells instead of formulas.

Fixed!

Am I this silly person you speak of?

I inserted a row on the Data Entry sheet, so my forum handle would appear alphabetically. Other than that, I did nothing!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
