A little tardy on the update this quarter. Right on the cusp of graduation, but still not quite there yet as the market has slowed down quite a bit this year.

@InvincibleChutzpah August will be your month.

Oh for sure! It's been my projected month for a while and I'm glad I'll likely meet that. I was a little bummed that July wasn't my month. My employer was bought out and during the 401k switch over our contributions were halted. Then I ended up using most of what wasn't lost to taxes on some extra spending (paying for my upcoming wedding). I know that one month is nothing in the long run, but I was looking forward to graduating a little early. Here's hoping the stock market does well this month and I cross the finish line.

I know what you mean. With the market going so crazy these last 18 months, a little voice in the back of my head whispers to me: $500K by December! Even though my projection was Fall 2022, I'm sure to be feeling as you do in Dec if I don't get there.

August was definitely my month. I danced over the line this morning. I'm well aware that I'll cross the $500k threshold several times before all is said and done. So , I'm not going to officially make my graduation post till the end of the month.

Impressive gain over the last month. I had almost held out hope that I would be graduating this month, but looks like I've got a little more to go.

Chugging along kind of slowly lately, but no negative months so far in this "race group." I have taken on a risk-parity style portfolio though since I'm getting closer to my FI year goal, so I'm sacrificing a small amount of expected growth rate in exchange for significant reduction in expected portfolio drawdown depth/duration. I just want to steadily grow my way to $500k by sometime in 2023!

Well, the house is nearly complete, and it was appraised at the right number for me to sell. Looking forward to the simpler finances. Also started working again last week, and it's been quite enjoyable! High hopes for the rest of the year!

Thanks oneday you will be there in no time

"No time" ended up being 2 months. Note even in my wildest dreams was a gain of $29K in 2 months ($2K is contributions) possible.

Quote from: Mainlander on August 01, 2021, 03:13:32 PM

Woah just noticed it was exactly 1 year since I joined this race. A one year increase of 107k is absolutely bonkers to me.

@Mainlander I had a similar gain this year. Not even a year: 8 months. Totes bonkers!!!! I am reeling.

But, I'll wait to see if it "sticks" for a bit before declaring official graduation. The market giveth and the market taketh away, and all that.

Numbers updated thru the last day of the month. I started adding my spouses numbers from her defined contribution, but will really only count the TSP numbers towards the overall goal)
I’m excited to see how the next 4 months treat my accounts. Hoping for a great close out for the year.

Original goal this year was to hit $230k for the TSP account and $130k for the spouses. Then it was $250k. At this point; I’m obviously content with the numbers; but I do have a new goal of $275k to round off the year. Closing out at $150k for my spouses account would be nice as well

It's a very, very long story. I paid so much in interest over those years that I don't dare add it up. I was definitely paying upwards of $1,000/mo for several years. I didn't start a 401k until 2014 or 2015. The main turning point was the sale of two side-by-side vacant lots I bought in early 2017 for a combined $9,900. I sold them 18 months later (late 2018) for a combined $93,000, so a net gain after taxes of about $63,000. This allowed me to finally pay off all of that debt. I also bought another vacant lot nearby for $8,500 which is now worth $40-50k. Otherwise everything else is home appreciation and stocks. I have also rented out one or two spare bedrooms in my house almost continuously since 2015.

And that's a wrap on this race. I plan on staying around for another month just to make sure the gains are solid, but it's nice to be done in under 2 years.
