We spent our butts off in Dec, probably the highest month ever, not including a spring vacation that will be paid off in credit card points. But it's hard to care when investments are up 200k for the year. I'm excited to max the 2022 IRAs on Monday and see my new 401k contribution on the paystub.

[Apples]

Oct 2021:  $563,047.23
Nov 2021:  $571,338.24   

Dec 2021:  $600.016.41   That's insane.  Most of the month's jump (over $20,000) came from the farm paying down it's LOC a bit, and paying the annual principal payments on the two real estate loans.  Those loans get paid if there's any money left in Q4 for it, because the apple crop income we try to push into the following calendar year (in case the next year's crop is bad, and we can stretch it out for that).  So no big farm-related jumps for another 10 or more months.  Our net worth went up a little under $200,000 this year.  $85,000 of that came from the farm having a surprisingly good year, and able to pay down some debts.  We track the farm debts on our personal balance sheet, but not the farm income/expenses because that would cause gigantic swings and make monthly tracking relatively pointless.  Still over a $100,000 increase on our own!  Stock market can take credit for about $60,000 of it.  Compounding is cool.

Congrats to everyone else on their good years!  And to the graduates, I hope you stay the heck out of here :)

Congrats to those who've graduated, or newly joined this race! I'm pleasantly surprised we actually made it back to 600+ before year end (and a 200k+ year) - didn't expect that to happen but we'll take it.

This year was my best year yet with over 200k increase on the year, I'm hopeful that I could reach the 1 million mark this next year if the market doesn't have a big correction, but as always, we shall see.  Thinking about hitting the 1 million mark is just insane.  I've only been on this journey for around 5 years on my own and I make less than 100k per year (before taxes).

Nice end to a solid year, ended up 3k over my stretch goal. Set a lofty goal for this coming year, more and more dependent on the market now. If we are anywhere in the $700k+ range I will call it a win. That would be 1M NW including 300k home equity. Good luck to all!!

Original Target for 1M - October 2024
Current Target for 1M - April 2024

Hello! I see some familiar folks from the Race to $500K thread.

Investments are $515K at 12/31/21. I'll do a formatted chart for next month's update; this is just a quick post as the holidays are still happening in my world for another day.

[bigote2032]

Happy new year folks! Hoping to leave this thread soon (I will miss you and promise to wait for you in the next one).  Let's make our dollars work harder for us this year!!

Pretty uneventful after a huge last quarter. I wish it would hurry up, I could use a year off...

And here's a chart :)

[tarheeldan]

Happy New Year 2022!! Gong hei fat choy! (learned this from the hilarious Ronny Chieng)

Good month last month, up $22,794.96 or 3.35% to $704,059.67 :)

Great year 2021 financially as well, up $211,042.96 - that's 265% of my wage income for the year. Actual contributions were $51,632.27 or 53.3% of gross wages!

Congratulations to the graduates, and welcome to newcomers!

[bownyboy]

Target was £800k by the end of the year, ended up just missing it. Not bad considering I took about 4.5 months off over the year and moved to 4 day working week from October.

Forecast for end of August 2022 is £885k when I’ll officially call it quits if (and its a big IF, lol) I manage to stay on that long.

Finally passed the 3/4 mil - Hope I can get to a Mil here this year. I will Fire at a Mil - I do not like my job - the money is great but 16 hours at work life is not!

Estimated graduation is March 4, 2024 (based on linear curve fit of current data). I'd imagine it will actually be sooner. Good work everyone!

[minority_finance_mo]

I just hit the $500K mark last month (could not be more excited!) and so now am officially throwing down the gauntlet for $1M. My goal is to hit this by age 32 (I'm 28 at the moment). I'm not sure how I'll do it just yet, but I also didn't think I'd be at $500K by 28, so just gotta take the plunge!

Here's my net worth history:
* Dec 2014 (21): $554
* Dec 2015 (22): $32.2K (+31K)
* Dec 2016 (23): $100.7K (+68.5K)
* Dec 2017 (24): $149.6K (+48.9K)
* Dec 2018 (25): $208K (+58.4K)
* Dec 2019 (26): $264K (+56K)
* Dec 2020 (27): $424K (+160K)
* Current (28): ~$510K (as of May 2021)

Ended the year a bit up from here:
Dec 2021: $562,477 (+$138K from this point last year)!

Aiming to contribute around $90K to investments this year, so with a little bit of luck, might just get to $700K in assets this year. (Though I'm grateful to be in this position even if I don't.)

About £50k of the y-o-y increase was the new valuation of the house, but I'm still very impressed with what's possible.

An amazing year.  Up £220k.  Thats an average of £18k a month.  Insane.
My income is around £5k a month.  So the rest of it is gains.

I never thought I would get here so quickly.  I was back at 300k TNW about 5 years ago.

I am on track to FIRE later in 2022.

I wont be joining the 1-2M thread as I wont be really going much further than this.

My "number" back in 2017 was 850k.  To be at 1MM today is just amazing and it has been a lot of work but its been worth it.

My new goal is to FIRE - obviously.  But also to try and maintain this TNW as long as I can.

I have a bit of money coming from the wrapping up of my business so I expect to be at around 1.1 to 1.15M at the mid point of 2022 when I hopefully will FIRE and then start a whole new journey.  I will update my progress in other threads as I go.

Cheers guys and good luck everyone!

Just broke through another level - $602,920!  15 months from joining this thread - it will be interesting to see how long the next $100,000 takes.

Just thought I would update this - we hit $700,000 at the start of November - so it only took 7 months to go from 6 to 7 investing close to the same amount as in the 18 months prior.

Great show

[skip207]

Cheers guys!  I might post a final number here once I FIRE just to see what I can do in the next 6 months between now and then.
1.2 would be amazing but I think 1.1 is more possible.  Or you never know I might drop back sub 1M again who knows!!

12/31/21    $993,847.78


A bit late for the final update of the year, but hey, vacations. It's kinda annoying to finish the year so freaking close to the line, but honestly, I never thought I would be there so early, so I'll take it. Especially since January is a down month so far. Oh, well.

So to recap this year, my NW grew by $278,888.98, which is a jaw-dropping 39%. About 55% of that was new money, the rest was the market.

Now let's hope that I finish 2022 as a graduate :)

[grantmeaname]

Down a little but under $500 with the big market sell off, but next month is my biggest pay month of the year by far so I'll be back to actually belonging in this thread unless something really catastrophic happens in the market.

Off to the $1M to $2M thread.

Will wait for actual closing numbers today for a number update, but the rollercoaster continues.

Took advantage of the chance to rebalance out of target date fund in small account of my spouse, which was the default choice but overly conservative with other factors taken into account.

That won't effect my numbers here, since I'm in this race is just for my retirement and investment accounts.

[Turtle]

Down a little but under $500 with the big market sell off, but next month is my biggest pay month of the year by far so I'll be back to actually belonging in this thread unless something really catastrophic happens in the market.

Largest annual lump add for me is also coming up in the next few weeks.  These are the times when it's not bad to be buying stocks "on sale" as it were.

Absolutely!

Bad month, too bad I ran dry after the holidays and could not buy extra stocks that are on sale, crossing the 1M it's been difficult, so close but so far.

Hello! I see some familiar folks from the Race to $500K thread.

Investments are $515K at 12/31/21. I'll do a formatted chart for next month's update; this is just a quick post as the holidays are still happening in my world for another day.

Investments dropped to $491K this month. A setback to Nov 2021 value. Total NW is over $500K, but I'm aiming for investments only over $500K for this thread. Surely I'll be there soon.

[bownyboy]

Wow, that was a bumpy month! At one point we were down 5.2% which was almost the same as the Covid drop back in March 2020.

Ouchie!!! That was not a great month was it.  Went from 1009k to 970k.
Exactly the same thing happened the month after I joined this thread at 500k.  Strange how things like that happen.

We also had to pay our annual tax bill which was more than usual.  We also had to buy a new car as the lease on our current car was ending.  Used car prices are through the roof at the moment!

Anyway, all in given what we have paid out I think we are lucky to be "just" 39k down for the month...

We spent our butts off in Dec, probably the highest month ever, not including a spring vacation that will be paid off in credit card points. But it's hard to care when investments are up 200k for the year. I'm excited to max the 2022 IRAs on Monday and see my new 401k contribution on the paystub.

Feb 2022: 669k

So my 12k IRA deposit on January 3 didn't pan out quite as one would hope, lol! We broke 700k briefly in the first week and quickly dropped, but I'm glad to have rebounded a bit. Savings rate improved from December.

But I'm getting a rude awakening on our tax returns, showing that we owe 4k federally! Wtf!?  Our income did increase but not that much. Ugh
