Joining the club.

...

Not sure when/if I'll get to 1m; may semi-FIRE before then.
...

If the market were to stay flat, would probably hit 1m investible around 6 months from now.
Quarterly update, November 2017:

....

Not declaring victory yet though until I have 1m investible and no debt to the bank.
Quarterly update, February 2018:

...

Q2 2018: 1,108k liquid + 392k home equity: total 1,500k (debt: 131k)
Q1 2018: 1,075k liquid + 409k home equity: total 1,484k (debt: 141k)
Q4 2017: 1,005k liquid + 332k home equity: total 1,337k (debt: 189k)
Q3 2017: 894k liquid + 313k home equity: total 1,207k (debt: approx 193k)
Q2 2017: 720k liquid + 250k home equity: total 970k (debt: approx 228k)

So, net worth hits $1.5m for the first time (up $530k YoY), and now we're above $1.1m in liquid/investible assets (up $388k YoY). Currently $23k away from having enough to pay off all debt (gap closed by $485k YoY, debt down $97k YoY) and still have $1m liquid/investible. Once I have that, I'll be ready to declare victory (and graduation from this thread).

Crossed 900k total NW a few days ago. getting really close to the NW goal. will stick around until the invested gets there.

Well, I'm in the $1M to 2M race thread for total NW, but I think I'll join this thread for my liquid NW.

1/1/16: $455k / 675k
1/1/17: $555k / 822k
1/1/18: $735k / 1.071M
5/17/18: $765k / 1.112M

Dang, that's not much progress this year despite upping my savings rate. Must grow faster.

I've been a slacker on tracking this out of self preservation. My ex-other half remains unemployed (passing all child-related costs we are supposed to split evenly solely to me), and I've paid for 2 international trips for 2 people in the past couple of months, yet somehow, if one ignores the insane market blip that was January, I'm not losing ground. Looking forward to seeing the year-over-year numbers come August! :-)

Stash (NW):

April 16, 2017: $379,833

March 8, 2018: $500,818

April 30, 2018: $510,215 ($937,731)
May 31, 2018: $514,410 ($950,830)

Shash includes cash on hand, and we just gave $10K to a family member as a gift so not the growth I was hoping for this month, but better than a decline. Using Zillow for home equity and pay little attention to the fluctuations although the market is pretty hot where I am.

Mid way through the year now. Only put on £22.5k to the NW this year so far which is disappointing.
I probably contributed about £30-£32k into the stache so an overall loss, even worse if you look at property values etc as they seem to have stalled.
Hopefully we will see some growth in the later end of the year. Pension seems to be ticking along ok though this year +5% for first 6mo. ISAs doing ok +4.5%.
I have reduced my 2018 goal from 600k to 560k.

May was an absolute bloodbath of spending for us ($7000 on medical issues +$600 planned, kid's camp fees). Our increase this month was almost entirely market movement.

Will post an update tomorrow after wife's 457 contributions post. During June of 2018 I anticipate 1) taking on a $2,900 debt for a tooth implant and 2) blowing about $3,000 on new rings for our anniversary. That will likely make June a flat month at best.

Our investments finally climbed back higher than the end-of-February numbers! We have had about 12k in unexpected expenses so far this year - medical and legal - which drained one of the HSAs and the cash accounts, so I'm really glad to see we aren't getting too far off track.

If I take out the 10k in catastrophic-these-won't-ever-repeat-for-sure expenses, then our spending is averaging about $550/month less than last year!

I am expecting a nice increase in June due to two lump sum payments, and my wife has decided to go back to work so we will have more money to stash into savings. It was nice enjoying some time while we were both off work / in between jobs, but I like seeing the income go back up.

It is a month after hitting the two comma club on TNW, yet it still doesn't feel all that impressive to me. I am hoping when we hit that level with the liquid investments here that it feels a little more exciting haha. I'm still holding out hope that I might hit the target before the end of the year, but it will in large part depend on how the market behaves.

A very respectable increase in May, despite a pretty spendy month overall. The 9-day vacation we took was 100% worth it, however! I'm revising my end of year NW goal to 820k. Here's hoping the market can get us there...

Also joining in on this race, but hoping to jump ship soon!

Below is our quarterly net worth (excluding our home equity)

Feb 2017 $880k
May 2017 $919k
Aug 2018 $918k
Nov 2017 $963k (my annual bonus is paid in Sept)
Feb 2018 $979k

May 2018 MTD $993k

Even if the market stays flat from here we should see an increase before EOM, but it’s going to take some luck to find another $7k of savings in less than 3 weeks...

May 2018 numbers are in:

Feb 2017 $880k

Aug 2018 $918k
Nov 2017 $963k
Feb 2018 $979k
May 2018 $991k

Lower than I had hoped as banks shares in particular have plummeted in the last couple of weeks thanks to the royal commission highlighting pockets of appalling behaviour by some of our banks. And we were in Iceland in March which was crazy expensive (but fabulous!)

Hoping to crack the $1m by the end of July.

Sold my car for a $13k boost + a gain to investments + an extra $800 this month for a side hustle.

It's a bit crazy to me that we've gone up over $100k since the start of the year! Amazing how good habits and good investments compound over time. Now we're officially over halfway to our FIRE target number which is pretty exciting indeed. Took me 6 years to get here; bet I can get the next half faster =D

Still in this race, but only from an investments/cash perspective.

As of close today sitting just over $891K cash/investments

Still hoping to be on track to hit it by EOY, but the market has not been so cooperative. I'm still throwing money at it though.

Sitting at $934.5K right now for cash and investments. I should be in good shape to make my goal of $1M by EOY.

Are you trying to time the market with your posts?

AccidentalMiser · « **Reply #632 on:** June 09, 2018, 03:22:48 PM »

At 995k this morning. The seventh digit approacheth!!

07/10/2018: 1,001,996. By coincidence, it’s my eldest son’s 31st birthday!

NinetyFour · « **Reply #633 on:** June 09, 2018, 06:52:07 PM »

At $926K.

IF the markets stay flat, my income in the next month will put me into the double comma club. Yes, I know that's a big IF. :)

You’re saving $74k in a month in income?! Market movement would need to be ugly to make a dint in that. Congrats!!

End of year goals for-
2017: $815K
2018: $945K
2019: $1,075K

Revised Goals
2018: $1,050K
2019: $1,210K

Actuals

04/28/2017 $775K

03/31/2018 $905K
04/30/2018 $921K
05/31/2018 $947K

Would really love to hit $1M by August (I turn 39)! If it happens it'll be a market based win, we save about $5,350/month. So savings alone won't get us there. We are tracking slightly below meeting our year end goal. No RE, about $85K is kids 529s, all else is investments.

6/15/18 - 750k / 950k NW

Getting close decided to take some increases on the house still well under the value I and Zillow think it's worth. Should hit it by my 32 bday in November. Should hit 1MM invested by April next year. Over 1 year and 3 months ahead of my projections.

I'll play!

cash+rental equity add primary residence equity
1/2016 $507K $627K
1/2017 $625K $797K

9/2017 $784K $904K

1MM dates- very likely sooner.
3/2021 12/2018

12/2017 $762K $903K - remodeling primary residence! When project is done, big increase in equity!

3/2018 $725K $866K - still remodeling. Framing and all exterior done, all bills paid! (to contractors)

6/2018 $763K $910K Hmmm. Zillow values for rental properties went way up. Making progress on the remodel. Plumbing, insulation, electrical done. Just drywall, flooring remains!

1MM dates now 12/2020 2/2019

A new high of $998.1k this morning, so close!!

Hopefully we can reach $1m before we pay $5k for our new solar panels next week.

Snuck over the line today! NW is now $1.004m (plus about $500k of home equity)

Good luck to everyone, thanks for the encouragement- see you in the other thread soon!

Hello all! I've been following this thread for a long time, but now I'm ready to join. I'm barely over the $500 mark so may fall below the minimum, but here I am for now. I don't expect to reach $1 mil in investments before I retire, so I'm going to include net worth just to look more credible!

Investments/cash Net worth

5/18 - $503,164 $742,902
6/18 - $506,463 $747,871

Didn't find this one yet, and I keep hearing how the next half-mil goes so much faster! We'll see. Anyone else?

April 2016: 500k

Saving ~75% of income.

at that savings rate it'll move for sure.
our SR is about 44% but I'm hoping the next half-mil goes so much faster too!
