Congratulations to all the graduates!  I am graduating, too: received a generous 10K gift but the market insanity alone had already pushed me past the finish line.

Good luck to everyone!

Yeah, we are still very close, my goal of 160 is definitely on the optimistic-side, might still be very close by the end of the year.  Best of luck!

   Can't shed an ever mounting desire to GTFO of work for a year. So I'm jumping into THIS race to keep me from jumping out of the rat race too soon.   I'm only tracking investment accounts. keeping my savings/checking mentally earmarked as an emergency-sabbatical fund. I front loaded my 401k contributions  to max out at end of May. My stretch goal for December 2021 is 175k.

As of today $201,294 with Vanguard. About $22,000 in an HSA. A few thousand more in the credit union. Paid for condo and car. Way more groceries in my condo than 15 months ago. Total debt of $1,000 as a SBA loan at 3.75% to my side hustle job, which was somewhat hurt by the Coronavirus.

Vanguard up from $173,884 at the end of 20201, $147,117 at the end of 2019, $119,391 at the end of 2018, $101,027 at the end of 2017, $75,607 at the end of 2016 and $2,400 at the end of 2015.

I'm surprised by how much I have considering how little I've put in. (Purchases $103,700, returns $97,594).

See everyone on the other side.

June 2019, hit my first milestone of $100,000 aged 29, on a $50,000 Canadian salary, but only 3 years that job. Previous jobs were no more than part time or mimimum wage while doing school intermittently. I did include my pension here, and recent vehicle purchase.

April 2021, hit 150,000; aged 31. Have included all cash, RRSP, TFSA, a very low conservative vehicle estimate. Not including substantial points accounts, but those will help in reducing grocery expenses for the next few years, allowing me to continue savings. Next estimate will include pension, as I don't have that number on hand right now.

I"m feeling really good about these numbers. I have no student debt, no car debt, no credit card debt. Most of my peers have several of those types of debt, and, pre-covid at least, ate out and ordered in several times a week. It adds up. I dont feel burdened by my choices, I eat a varied and healthy diet, and have enough activities and entertainment in my life.

122.597 €
-2.965 €

In practice, this was a good month, in theory it looks bad. I bought a kitchen and financed it (at 0%, I think this is fine...). I added the kitchen debt to my debt, of course. So my networth took a hit. (In theory the active side increased, but I don't want to fool myself by thinking my kitchen is an asset or investment.)

I think the 0% financing is great! It’s something you were going to buy anyway. We did that when our HVAC shit the bed. I had the 6k saved up but the company offered me 0% for 5 years... yes please!

For context: I'm 31 in a HCOL city. I'm married, but these are my own numbers since we keep our finances separate. Includes cash, retirement, and credit cards, which are used for normal expenses and paid off in full every month.

3/18: $48,533.91 (found MMM and started tracking)
3/19: $83,762.93
8/19: $101,572.33 (graduated to this thread)
3/20: $118,287.76
3/21: $206,593.43
4/21: $211,501.00 (+$4,907.57, +2.38%)
5/21: $223,080.37 (+11,579.37, +5.47%)

Good month for me! Getting closer. If my current pace holds, I should be there in August, 2 years after I first joined this thread.

Progress is continuing much faster than I had anticipated.  Not sure where the growth is coming from but we will take it.  Haven't changed our savings rate, unless the DW is secretly putting money into our accounts when I'm not looking and if she is, I won't complian.

August 1: $99,157

October 1: $92,650
November 1: $94,512

Just made it to this thread! I started my MMM journey in 2017 with a NW of $11,000. I've averaged about $60k per year over the last three years. Less this year, due to Covid-related loss of commission, layoff, and starting a new job. The silver lining of this year was increased savings due to lowered spending during quarantine.
Everyone says the first 100k is the hardest, so I'm looking forward to the easy glide to $250k :)

Dec 1 2020 $103, 694
Jan 1 2021 $106,123
Feb 1 2021 $107,022
Mar 1 2021 $109,254
Apr 1 2021 $114, 473
May 1 2021 $120,521

It has been easier than I thought. A lot of market gains, for sure. The rest is tight budgeting and good use of any 'found' money. Gaming my grocery bill, utility bills, etc, to see how low I can go. Already put April's extra paycheck straight into savings and planning on doing the same with December's. I can feel the progress!

Jan2021 — $197402
Feb2021 — $218863
Mar2021 — $229977
Apr2021 — $241104


Numbers updated thru the last day of the month. 
April returns were better than March (slightly). I am for the most part sticking to my strategy, and will be in the laying low for the first part of May.


My unofficial goal is to pop up to $250k by the end of DEC 2021. It’s going to take some good gains and avoiding any larger drops.  I’m excited to see how 2021 goes.  The “meet my goal of 6% gains for the year” puts me at needing a total of around $230k.  Obviously I’m trying to pump that number up a little.  I’ll be happy to reach that goal, but very happy to reach the $250k.

Good luck to all

Hello, all! I graduated from the race to $100k at the end of April and have waffled about whether I should tempt the market by posting here, but I want in so here goes!

EOY 2019 = $32,211.58
EOY 2020 = $79,741.14
Jan 2021 = $82,136.05 (+$2,394.91)
Feb 2021 = $87,168.43 (+$5,032.38)
Mar 2021 = $94,241.61 (+$7,073.18)
Apr 2021 = $102,121.70 (+$7,880.09)

Projected graduation date is August of 2024, so I think my stretch goal will be to graduate in under three years in March of 2024.

   Can't shed an ever mounting desire to GTFO of work for a year. So I'm jumping into THIS race to keep me from jumping out of the rat race too soon.   I'm only tracking investment accounts. keeping my savings/checking mentally earmarked as an emergency-sabbatical fund. I front loaded my 401k contributions  to max out at end of May. My stretch goal for December 2021 is 175k.

2021
April  =  $149,154
May. =   $153,211

I have one more contribution to max 401k for 2021, then it's on to max HSA in June. Progress will slow in July unless I begin to make monthly taxable brokerage contributions.

This post is long overdue- it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't updated on here since I first crossed the 100k mark in early december. So here goes: tracking personal NW only, and here to keep myself accountable. I'm a former sporadic poster in the save to 50k thread and the race from 10-100k thread, and always liked reading updates of people in roughly the same boat.

Best of luck and happy stashing!

25-04-2021          € 118.816,00
24-05-2021          € 119.366,00

Heavy expenses due to upcoming wedding and honeymoon in september. Extra vacation pay came in to save the day, otherwise I'd be down a bit in NW. Stock market also not helping with the numbers game- but in the long run it's only positive for me.

Even though I got a money present and saved additional 2200€, I could not out-save the crypto-devaluation.
I got a raise and will save additional 50€ from next month on, to reach my 50% savings-rate goal. So starting next month, I will save at least 1.662 € per month.

May 2021   $167,435

The first month with a decrease from the previous months, mostly due to having to pay for car repairs, luckily it was on a minor decrease. Hopefully, June will show growth again.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
