Including IRAs, 401(k), HSA, and Investment Account.
Jan 1, 2016 - $81,396
Aug 1, 2016 - $120,039
Oct 1, 2016 - $122,943
Jan 1, 2017 - $128,893
Mar 1, 2017 - $151,772
May 1, 2017 - $156,756
Aug 1, 2017 - $170,072
Sep 1, 2017 - $174,170
Oct 1, 2017 - $189,054  - moved $8K into Investment Account from Emergency Savings. While overall NW did not increase much, moving money around into respective accounts pushes the needle dramatically.


Nov 1, 2017 - $196,010 - yippee!! so close to $200K!

Dec 1, 2017 - $201,106 - nice! Crossed over to the $200k line. Let's hope I can stay for awhile. Still projecting Jan 2019 to hit $250k.

Congrats to all the graduates this month!

Nov 2017 - $150,186

WOO! This will be my first year maxing my Roth and 401k and it definitely shows. I just joined this thread last year around this same time and here I am with another $50k. I like it!

I'd like to max both of those next year too, but we'll see how that shakes out with my husband's self employment adventure. We're not quite three months into that, but so far it's going well. Stock sales got a bump with the holidays and cooler weather and his queue of custom work has been growing slowly, but steadily longer. Cash reserves are holding steady so far and my income has been keeping ahead of misc larger expenses like car repairs and vet bills even with my maxed out 401k contributions. So far, so good!

Congrats!  I am in the same boat; first year maxing both IRA and 401k.  Also, go Badgers!!! ;)

Thanks. Congrats to you too!

Meh for the Badgers though. Sportsball. Woo. :P

December 1 2017:  $216,449.55 -- gain of $5,497.73

I really need to update here more often!  Looks like it took 2 years to go from $100,000 to $200,000.  Better than I thought it was!  Based on our changing budget, I'm guessing we'll cross the $250,000 mark around August or September of next year.  Assuming there isn't a big drop in the market or the world catches fire.  And I hate looking for the link to the spreadsheet, so I'm adding it here.

The link to the spreadsheet is:

Jumping in to this thread quite late. I've been in the "race to $100k" for a while, until someone suggested I was underselling myself by not including my house in my NW. So I've jumped on paper but not in real life. Plus my new retirement fund has a pretty cool consolidation of all my finances, so lazy-arse here doesn't have to work it out herself.

Nov. 1  2017 - 135,000
Dec. 1  2017 - 140,000

Mortgage is paid, we've moved into the house, and after four months of essentially stagnating on the investments, the ball is rolling again!  Between EOY bonus and year end dividends I have a chance to break $160,000, which would be great.  Regardless, absent a big discount on stocks I'm on pace for graduating before 2020.

Time to join this thread!  When I started reading MMM my husband and I were negative net worth, and I never thought this day would come - yet alone at age 25!

To be honest I'm not sure if our net worth will dip soon; we purchased some land, are starting to build a house, and I'm having a baby in April so will be on maternity leave for a year.  But hopeful this thread helps keep me motivated!

Net worth includes all assets / debts except for our used van, which was paid for with cash.

12/01/2017 : $102,500

My goal was to hit $100k in cash and investments by the end of 2017 and I have surpassed that goal so now I can join this thread!  Goal is $150k in 2018!

Sep2014: -4087 <--- started following MMM with a 401k that didn't quite balance my student loans and car loan

Dec2017: 170,064

Wish I discovered MMM so much sooner, but no use being regretful. Instead I'm trying to focus on the progress I've made and the possibility of retiring a decade+ early or being able to afford to be a SAHM at some point in the future.

I can't wait to have a long list of gains and graduate to the next level.

Hmmm...so that leaves me $68,583.32 from graduating from this thread! Is that doable to accomplish by the end of 2018? Maybe!

Divided by 12, that would be +$5,715 .00 per month! Tough, but it looks like I have our goal for the year!

kind of amazing! mostly due to markets and SO getting paid for stuff that's been owed for a while.
Looking like we'll most likely graduate from this thread by the end of 2018. There will be a lot of unpredictable expenses in the next year, but hopefully also a more steady income from the SO to even it out.

This sounds like a fun way to challenge each other :)
Mind if I join?

I just crossed the 100k mark a few days ago and I am hoping to graduate sometime in 2019.
The only asset I am not including in my net worth is my cabin (approx value: 65k) since I am never really sure if it's appropriate to include it in these type of calculations or not.

And because I'm going camping over NY and won't be online, here's my end of year wrap-up.

DateNet worthGain (Loss)
1 Dec 2017$239,686.56N/A
1 Dec 2017$244,059.96$4,373.40

That's a net worth increase of $4,373.40 in a month, from a combination of debt repayment and an increase in investments. Imagine what will happen to my actual investment / cash balance when I finish paying off my stupid tax?

12/29/17 $107,889.26 a 4% increase totaling $4,250.31

A shockingly great month.  I got a bonus for work and the rest of the heavy lifting was done by market gains.  Total increase in net worth for the year was ~60%.  I'm super pumped about what 2018 will bring.

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)
December 2017: $193,677 (total NW $364,276)

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.

Ummm... kind of a big deal. Logged a little under $13k total dividends/investment gain from the 4th quarter. Grew checking and savings accounts. Put almost $5k into my taxable account and a little over $3k into retirement. And... flew past a quarter million.
$250,000+
Congrats NVR!

End of year numbers!

20K cash (checking and money market account, 1.5K and 18.5K respectively)
115K invested (tIRA and 403b, 16K and 98K respectively)

Total net worth: 135K. Invested 27K with employer contributions, got 18K in returns, only added 2K to the liquid cash reserves because of a mid-year health scare, but overall I feel okay about this.

Dec 1, 2017 - $201,106 - nice! Crossed over to the $200k line. Let's hope I can stay for awhile. Still projecting Jan 2019 to hit $250k.

Added $7,200 on autopilot this month. Keeping some of my Xmas bonus around for anticipated travel expenses this spring, but sure we'll have plenty of leftovers.

2018 goal: go from $227k to $310k

What?!  This is awesome!  $10,000 of that is probably real estate appreciation, but the other $28,000 is all savings and market. :)  (I earn $38,000 salary, plus whatever I bring in from side gigs.) I hope I can do as well or better next year!

Dec 31 2017: $232,294

I don't even know.  But I'm thrilled!  It will dip in the next few months as I finish my kitchen remodel, but it'll bounce back pretty quick, looks like.  Should still be able to graduate in the next few months.

I'll probably break it into total net worth and investments at that point, so I'll still be around.

Just a couple hundred south of $250,000! Should hit a week or so into 2018! If you told me a few years ago that I would one day increase my NW by $150,000 in a bit under two years I'd have called you a madman. Unbelievable! Granted, a large chunk of my gains have been a result of the market.
