I've been bad about updating here; I think it's because it is such a long time to the 250 mark at this rate. 

For what it's worth, once you get to the 250k mark it's slow going too :P

I'm in the same position in that thread, except not updating there. "only" 2k-3k increases a month... just keep plugging away!

Ha, thanks Ender!  Yeah a lot of our savings is going into a bank account to buy a farm-not retirement accounts.  Only 10% of our income is going towards retirement (shh don't tell people!).  The rest is for buying the farm, which at that point idk if I'll track our net worth publicly anymore.  So much of the net worth change we be dependent on the crop and farm expenses instead of our salaries.  Then it won't be incremental steps-it'll be one big or small annual step.  Our salaries will be stashed away in the bank in case of a bad crop year where we need that cash savings.  In the first few years of a loan without any other sizeable net worth, banks are funny about not wanting to open lines of credit lol.

August $146,604

September $146,347. That's good seeing as I paid for my wedding and tuition at the end of the month. Those two together were more than I make in a month.

Only including IRAs, 401(k) and HSAs.
Jan 1, 2016 - $81,396
Oct 1, 2016 - $122,943

It took me about 7.5 years to reach $100K, which was achieved around May 2016. I am setting a goal of $250K by Jan 2019.

@Blah... Like the NW acceleration the past year there...   Keep the cash flow margins up on saving and keep resisting lifestyle creep!

Thanks @indentured. It certainly helped destroying student loans at the beginning of the year. This has set us up to save more than ever.

missed a few months, but hopping back in:

March 2016: $102,411
April 2016: $109,780
October 2016: 127,504.34

on the bright side, skipping months makes for bigger updates.

This is a great thread! Just finished reading through it, and wish I had found it a while ago.

We have been tracking savings and expenses for the last 2 years after not having done so for quite some time. No firm goal to this point except that we are saving for FIRE, still not entirely sure what we need to be at that point. Regardless, posting here should help with motivation, some months it has been a challenge separating needs from wants.

So, first entry for September: $207,022.02

Would love to make it to 250K by the end of this year but suspect it will not happen. The ambitious goal at the beginning of this year was 200k by the end of the year, so already happy with progress.

I've attached a fairly accurate graph for the last 2+ years.

Chris, what happened in November of 2015 that you were suddenly able to start saving at an amazing clip?

Chris, what happened in November of 2015 that you were suddenly able to start saving at an amazing clip?

We've been working part time and home schooling our kids for about six years. Earlier this year we took on a full time contract position and kept our monthly living expenses low. We've managed to put away well above 50% of our income every month since about February, although it has been a bit of a struggle to keep expenses down while being this busy.

The contract will wind down in the next 2-4 months so I hope to break 250K by then.

Rad! Very cool. In fact inspiring, I want to put away more now.

Sept 1: $81,575
Oct 1: $100,687
Nov1: $105,779
Dec 1: $108,880 (+$3,300)
Jan 1: $111,133 (+$2,253)
Feb 1: $125,298 (+$14,165)

March 1:$143,249 (+17,951)

An extra paycheck in there that was all saved and and up-tick in the market. I'm actually really surprised with that number and really proud of myself!

Haven't been posting much in the past 7 months but turns out a great way to grow your net worth is to get married to an equally smart mustachian!

We've worked on merging all of our accounts so a few things might still be somewhat outstanding, right now we're looking at about $310,000 so I'll see you all on the next thread! Good luck!

OK I am in the race, I will only be doing quarterly updates though.
End of Q3 2016: $112,200

It looks like I have two or three years of racing still!

Reporting in the middle of the month as I usually do...

Jan 2016     $80,165.78
Feb 2016     $88,372.39
March 2016 $101,768.81
April 2016   $106,876.35
May 2016    $106,529.21
June 2016   $109,892.28
July 2016    $115,035.02
Aug 2016    $125,235.44
Sept 2016   $126,076.92
Oct 2016   $129,441.04

In November, we're having some work done on our house (new siding, new gutters) but we've already paid for some of it, and we're cash flowing the rest in November. I'll assign 50% of the cost to an increase in home value so November might be a wash on next month's balance sheet.

No offense, but I'd love to leave this group by Dec 2018.

Woohoo. Broke the $200k mark. I didn't start tracking soon enough to see how long it took us to go from 0-100k vs 1-200k, but I bet it was easier and faster.

Congratulations on breaking $200k!! :-)

Woohoo! Finally joining this thread!!

Welcome!!

Congratulations and congratulations!


I had a pretty good month, up 3.6% ($4,428.83) in September to $126,878.55. This month might see some slower progress though, I'm upgrading some of my wardrobe (better fitting clothes) and finally broke down and bought some boots after living in New Hampshire for 8 years. Oh, and I get to travel to Thailand and Japan :-)

Some of us are tracking our progress here:

Sept 2016    $106,084.00   
Oct 2016       $107,559.00

Slow progress this month. Next month will be a certain decrease as I am moving to a new state, putting down a lease security deposit, buying a car, and taking 2 weeks off between jobs to pack/move/unpack. However, the new job is in a more moderate cost of living area and my salary remains virtually the same, so I am hoping the move really helps boost my savings rate. About $30k of my net worth is currently earmarked for a house down payment and I'll be looking to buy within the next several months.

Update:  not as good as previous months.  Husband's car accident + market loses were a major setback in October.


July 28 2016:      $150,359.87 retirement     $204,445.70 total non-equity
Aug 26 2016:      $152,086.45 retirement     $213,655.96 total non-equity   
Sept 30 2016:     $156,721.28 retirement     $214,248.98 total non-equity 
Oct 28 2016:       $154,857.87 retirement     $210,419.58 total non-equity   Major derail to progress: husband had a car crash,  lost self-employment income,  we had to buy a new car + market down.

Nice, this is the first time I ventured to this part of the forum.  I think I qualify for this one.  Here's our progress.  I only started tracking this literally 1 year ago.  Didn't even consider FI/RE concepts before August of last year (sometimes I wish I'd figured this out sooner...I'd probably be about 100K wealthier but hey...)

Dates                Net Worth
     
October 2015           $133,329.26
November 2015       $150,277.88
December 2015       $153,517.74
January 2016          $151,934.53
February 2016        $154,837.00
March 2016            $178,776.19
April 2016                $185,866.51
May 2016                $187,835.23
June 2016            $191,564.18
July 2016                 $198,382.07
August 2016          $202,314.81
September 2016      $203,522.13
October 2016          $198,168.14

I include house equity at a conservative valuation but not the improvements we made to the house over time.  Case in point - I spent 10K on siding this month - included the expense but no net increase in equity (I'm sure the increase is less than face value, actually).

Investable assets are approximately 110K of this and increasing at a rate of approximately 50K/year starting a few months ago.

Sept 30 update since mid-August...   from $103K to $108K.   

End of Oct update:   107K (typical market fluctuation) despite adding $500 in cash.   November has some nice quarterly dividends coming due so fingers crossed the market behaves itself towards year end...

He did say its going way faster, apparently he meant time itself, or perhaps that's his secret, looking at stock prices days in advance.

Lol I usually post the weekend before the end of the month since I don't go on this site during the work week. And the vast majority of my investments are in rental properties, so the stock market shouldn't affect my numbers too much. Also, *she. :)

October: $138,896.91. Down $3,886.91

First down month. Most of what I owed on my new used car came due this month, along with some other expenses. At least it's paid for now. Back on track next month!

Filled in my spreadsheets this morning to close out July, and discovered that I broke $100k this month!!

I discovered MMM a couple of months ago--April or May. My wife and were doing pretty good for the average American--savings rate was probably about 15% or so. But we kept zero track of our expenses. We just had some auto draft stuff set up into a Roth and our employer plans, and our checking account stayed in roughly the same range from month to month. But we started trimming some fat from our expenses (still plenty to go--I don't have a bike, for example, and we both commute by car every day) and really focused on pumping all our extra funds into investments. Our savings rate for the year, according to my spreadsheets, is at 30%, but it's probably quite a bit higher than that over the last few months, since I only found MMM in April.

So I'm excited to hit this milestone!

Up to 109k thru October 31. It blows my mind that it is possible to improve net worth by $9k in 3 months.

Probably going to fall a bit this month, as there is an outstanding check for $6k. Bought a new car. The timing belt in my old car broke, and that did all the engine damage that can do. (Did you know that 2010 Hyundai Accents have timing belts? Well I didn't. Now I do.) It had 155k miles, and the repair would have been more than the car was worth. Sucks--that thing was a damn champ. I didn't put a dollar for repairs into that car, just maintenance. I was saving for a potential car purchase anyways, so I figured now was time--155k miles on a car that needs a repair more expensive than the car itself. I actually got another 2010 Accent, but this one only had $38k miles. $5900--and had enough in cash to just buy the thing outright. Emergency fund FTW!

With new construction going for sale nearby Zillow is no longer a reliable estimate, showing gains of $20k this month, lol.  Instead I'm putting in the number that I've listed the house for, though there will be around $20k loss from that due to agent fees and such, not including if we take an offer under listing price, or fix anything.

This months numbers:
May 2015:  $100,323.89
June 2015: $106,433.29
July 2015: $114,450.69
August 2015: $118,018.27
September 2015: $121,664.35
October 2015: $132,652.87
November 2015: $138,272.53
December 2015: $144,824.70
January 2016: $149,731.88
February 2016: $159,138.30
March 2016: $172,089.61
April 2016: $177,924.11
May 2016: $182,266.37
June 2016: $195,382.39
July 2016: $207,370.73
August 2016: $210,598.32
September 2016: $211,858.91
October 2016: $217,642.90

Sold a lot of stuff last month too, and will be selling the car this month, which will help to soften the blow.  Hopefully end up selling the house before years end, even though that means we'll end the year below $200k, to think we started at $149k and only worked for 3 months with a handful of side jobs, I'd say we still did fairly well.

July             $98,467.26     +$5,148.77
August     $104,622.34     +$6,155.08
October     $109,535.81     +$4,913.47
November  $113,963.46     +$4,427.65

Humming along in this boring period of accumulation. Got a big vacation to central America coming up in November but shouldn't have any hit to the NW since I have a separate 'travel account' not factored into my NetWorth. Feels like a free vacay! Congrats to everyone on their continued progress... and good luck with however the market reacts to a Trump Presidency (not that I want that...)

Jan. 1 2016:  $107,709.77 --- gain of $1,221.14
Feb. 1 2016:  $106,318.40 --- loss of $1,402.91
Mar. 1 2016:  $108,550.55 --- gain of $2,232.15
Apr. 1 2016:  $115,724.63 --- gain of $7,174.08  woohoo market swing up!
May 1 2016:  $119,946.35 --- gain of $4,221.72
June 1 2016:  $125,160.93 --- gain of $5,214.58
July 1 2016:  $127,094.93 --- gain of $1,934.00
August 1 2016:  $133,039.69 --- gain of $5,944.76
September 1 2016:  $136,465.21 --- gain of $3,425.52
October 1 2016:  $140,391.81 --- gain of $3,926.60

November 1 2016:  $145,497.13 --- gain of $5,105.32

Extra large jump this month due to two extra paychecks.  Stock market didn't help us though.  The next two months will probably be uneventful and back to the usual gains of $3,000 or so.  But as of this month we beat last year's total net worth increase, woohoo!

Including home equity (based on a recent appraisal)
10/1/2016: $208,626.09 
11/1/2016: $210,098.56  +$1,472.47

Excluding home equity
10/1/2016: $98,680.19
11/1/2016: $99,290.31    +$610.12

So I'm almost out of this group when I include the home equity, but I'm just entering it without it.

Oct 2016       $107,559.00
Nov 2016      $103,227.00

Slight decrease this month as I moved to a new state (it cost about $1000 to ship my stuff on a truck with movers on both ends), bought a car, and took two weeks without a paycheck between jobs. HR messed up my TSP contribution so I missed out on a 5% match for one pay period - I've increased my contribution to hit $18k for the year. Pretty minor in the scheme of things but I'm still annoyed about it.

Hello everyone! I just tipped over into six figures on Monday so I'm here to join you all in doubling my money and then some! I'm tracking just my stash and sitting right at $100,378 which includes a 401k, Rollover IRA, and a Roth IRA. The IRAs are at Vanguard and the 401k is a variable group annuity through John Hancock with stupidly high fees. Ugh. In the land of things I actually have control over, my 401k contributions are set to max out next year and I've got my Roth contribution sitting in an account waiting for the new year so next year should be my first one where I completely max my available tax advantaged accounts. To celebrate, I'm planning on starting a taxable account. :)
