Getting close to the end here ($246k as of this morning) but I've seen many of you bounce right around the $250k mark for several months so I'm cautious.

Whelp.  I guess I can't fight it anymore.  I've graduated and stayed there.  It has been fun, shorter than the time says it has been, and a pleasure.  Here's to seeing all of you in the next race, and not back in this one!

We're in the same boat. After finally compiling all of our financial accounts, we found out that we had crossed the 100K net worth threshold. We're still a little stunned. A decade ago, our home value had basically collapsed, husband was laid off, and I was a grad student. While we had no consumer debt then, we had almost no savings and a majorly underwater mortgage. I can only imagine what we can do going forward, now that we're scrutinizing everything closely.

April 2019: $115,953

November 2019: $133,268 in total net worth [investments + bank accounts + home value, minus remaining mortgage and current credit card balances (which are paid in full every month)].

More stunning (to me): this week, we crossed the 100K line in investments alone: $100,613.

Onward and upward. Thanks to all the good people here who have given so much helpful advice!

I knew i was getting real close, unfortunately no celebrations yet as I just added up my investments and am at $249894.69 as of today. My post-tax 401k will show up on Saturday or Sunday and assuming a flat market tomorrow I should make it out of this thread for the first (and hopefully last) time.

Fingers crossed!

Jul 1/16 - $117,155.44
Oct 1/16 - $118,878.00

Jul 1/17 - $144,570.34
Oct 1/17 - $152,266.77
Jan 1/18 - $164,613.88
Apr 1/18 - $174,725.03
July 1/18 - $188,096.17
Oct 1/18 - $191,853.58
Jan 1/19 - $183,804.03

July 1/19 - $208,148.78
Aug 1/19 - $207,281.37
Sept 1/19 - $208,499.76
Oct 1/19 - $211,674.53
Nov 1/19 - $212,459.24

Dec 1/19 - $215,264.49

Terrible month spending wise.  My 20 year old car died (broken frame due to rust); could probably have repaired it by welding in new parts, but not worth it.  So, I bought a 10 year old car.  After car, taxes, registration, timing belt, new tires, etc., I spent a little over $7,000 out of my emergency fund (which is part of the totals in the values above). Yet somehow, I still came out in the black?!?!  I calculated that my return for this month was 8.96%.

Sept 1 - 101.6k
Oct 1 - 106.2k (+4600)
Nov 1 - 108.8k (+2600)
Dec 1 - 111.7 (+2900)

Probably won’t quite make it to 115 by the end of the year like I was hoping, but should get pretty close.

12/1/19 = 101,602
*Total includes invested assets only.

I am joining from the 100k thread that I was able to graduate from this month. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I am going for a 2 year goal for this challenge.

This includes all our retirement and personal accounts for assets. It includes our credit cards, student loan, and mortgage for liabilities. It DOES NOT include our home value.

April 2018 - $52,917.42
May 2018  - $58,400.19
June 2018 - $59,686.34
July 2018  - $65,798.53
Aug 2018 - $72,231.70
Sept 2018 - $76,755.71
Oct 2018 -  $64,348.89
Nov 2018 - $70,839.76
Dec 2018 - $58,351.73
Jan 2019 - $78,256.31
Feb 2019 - $87,795.97
Mar 2019 - $67,121.29
Apr 2019 - $75,155.85
May 2019 - $63,243.68
June 2019 - $79,359.89
July 2019 - $84,352.69
August 2019 - $81,608.49
September 2019 - $87,380.98
October 2019 - $93,328.51
November 2019 - $103,159.50

And so it begins. Another journey. This one will move more quickly than the 10k-100k I believe with the power of compounding!

Big saving month and an even bigger month in the market.

Welcome, most definitely possible. $150k over 24 months is just over $6k increase per month. You will see on the google sheet that plenty of people have graduated in that timeframe.

It certainly picks up between market helping out (usually) and being locked into the automated savings with opportunities to top it up whenever you get pay increases and/or bonuses.

Congrats on the huge $100k milestone too!

Only counting my "Early Retirement stash". So this does not include my emergency-fund, pension capital, or payed-off residence.

These are the "end of the month" numbers:
Month      Early Retirement Stash
Jan 2016   €  58 971.00
Jan 2017   €  86 368.00
Jan 2018   € 119 817.00
Dec 2018   € 135 400.00
Totals for 2018:
Growth   € 18.847,34   (= 16,17%)
Deposits € 27.142,12   
Returns -€  8.294,78   (= -6,81%)


Jan 2019   € 145 840.48
Feb 2019   € 151 827.59
Mar 2019   € 157 527.28   (growth:  € 5 699.69 deposits: € 1 440.00)
Apr 2019   € 164 309.47   (growth:  € 6 782.19 deposits: €   950.00)
May 2019   € 158 997.24   (growth: -€ 5 312.23 deposits: € 3 350.00)
Jun 2019   € 166 992.69   (growth:  € 7 995.45 deposits: € 3 200.00)
Jul 2019   € 173 557.53   (growth:  € 6 564.84 deposits: € 4 300.00)
Aug 2019   € 171 327.19   (growth: -€ 2 230.34 deposits: € 1 950.00)
Sep 2019   € 177 262.62   (growth:  € 5 935.43)
Oct 2019   € 180 160.74   (growth:  € 2 898.12)


Nov 2019  € 189 075.68   (growth:  € 8 914.94 deposits: € 3 735.00 )

Took a look at your net worth sheet. You project the number of months remaining but based on November growth it becomes much more attractive than the 5.5 years. Are you planning on staying in the Netherlands post-ER?

I knew i was getting real close, unfortunately no celebrations yet as I just added up my investments and am at $249894.69 as of today. My post-tax 401k will show up on Saturday or Sunday and assuming a flat market tomorrow I should make it out of this thread for the first (and hopefully last) time.

Fingers crossed!

Dec-19: $249741.51 = $14397.95 HSA + $6976.56 VG Taxable + $228367.10 Fidelity (Taxable, Roth IRA and 401k).

Did not make it but ecstatic with the progress since some RSUs will vest tomorrow that will put me over the top by a few k. This number also doesn't include any of our equity in vehicles, emergency fund etc so I will consider myself unofficially graduated.

Updated the projection to exclude all potential bonuses, which accounted for the previously higher estimate. Need a combined $10k from pay raise, bonuses, churning, and investment gains to meet the goal. Still looking good!

11/30/2018 $120,116/63

4/30/2019 $161,209.95 (going to try to continue speed with taxable account - we will see with a 2-week old at home how this plays out)
5/31/2019 $157,215.34 (market pain decline despite adding close to $4,000 in my after-tax account.....stay the course)
6/30/2019 $168,401.72 ($63,214.38 in one year...stay the course)

Nice to see the market gives you those nice pushes in the back. I may steal your format actually, looks very clean.

Thank you. I do this because when I started MMM (not that long ago) I would look at the races and see increases of thousands of dollars - specially on the races over 100k. I felt a little discouraged, because there was no way I could save 5k a month. But then I noticed one poster (not sure who) that displayed how much he saved, and how much the market gains were: I figured - "That I can do". So I copied his format.

That inflection point is hilarious indeed. :-)

How does the compounding number drop in certain months without a corresponding overall drop though?

Exactly, I'm on the cusp of the 250-500k thread. I want to target growing by 10k/month if I am to graduate in roughly 2 years. I can not save/contribute anywhere near 10k per month though so I will need the market's help.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking there.

It's a stacked line chart, with one value reading total contributions, and the other reading total gains based on current portfolio value. If market were to drop below my level of contributions, it would look something like the picture below. The blue area (my contributions) would continue to rise, but the green area, which represents total portfolio value would be lower.

I see, that makes sense. Not sure what I was thinking.
