Every month I'm disappointed when I get my number for this thread, until I see last month's posting and I'm always pleasantly surprised.

This is so true! For me this month was very "meh" in the market. Still, it was also a great month in terms of savings, and I'm up $25k. That's a lot more than my base salary. Half a year of projected retirement expenses. In a single month. I mean...

I saved ~$15k, and made an additional principal payment of $1,200 to my car loan. The rest is the market.

Now that I've maxed out my retirement accounts, the fun begins as I've started sending money to my brokerage account. July was the first month I had a paycheck above a couple hundred dollars 😂

Not much to say about this month, overall this year my spending has been up a little, between 100-200 per month, but my rent also went up 100 this year, so I guess that is to be expected.

The stock market and housing insanity has just blown our net worth through the roof. It seems unreal.

July 2021 $1,003,776 ($750k liquid)

Breaking cycle to celebrate this little milestone. I call it millionaire status with a little m because it's real estate +liquid that puts us there. Big M is for when liquid assets hit the milestone.

 I think I will hang around here for a bit longer before popping my head in the next thread... It doesn't feel like I've earned the right to post in the other thread yet for some bizarre reason riding this weird wave of housing/stock market boom in a pandemic.

Is there a millionaire imposter syndrome? Asking for a friend :)

Looks like you ought to change trend line data subset. You've been doing major work the last 4 years and the line doesn't reflect it. Or if you want to include all time pick non linear.

For these tracking threads I only count the stuff that's linked to my Mint account. Kinda silly to keep doing it because together we are over 1m and I plan to fire at the end of the year whether I see that number in my account or not.

Had much higher home improvement expenses in July, with a drop in home "value" (per Zillow) to make the NW go down.  But honestly, I don't really care about that number as long as investments are going up.  And they have increase 200k+ in one year.  That's mind blowing to me.

I'm just waiting for a bear market to start so we're all stuck here for years and then disappear in a day, springing into the 2m thread completely skipping the 1-2.

[easternblockbabe]

Hello, I'm new here - just moving from the 'Race from 250k to 500k' tread.

About me:  I've started tracking our assets on Mint in July 2016.  That's pretty much when I discovered MMM and it has been instrumental in our progress. 

There have been several challenges in these five years:  In 2017 I lost my job, right after we sold our tiny condo and bought a more expensive suburban home - and I was not able to find another job for several long and anxious months.  Then in 2020 my husband lost his job, due to Cobid-19 closures; he just started his own construction company this year and is yet to get established.  We are not high earners, we live in a very HCOL area, and have a high-schooler that will be going to college in 2 years.

Despite these challenges, we've made good progress.  We've more than doubled our non-equity assets in 5 years, reaching 1/2 mil a couple months ago.  My hope is that we can reach 1 mil. by 2029 - 8 years from now; which is much slower doubling rate than previously, but that considers that we'll be paying for daughter's college.
 

                      retirement    total non-equity
July 2016:      $150,350      $204,450 (start of tracking)
Dec 2016:      $167,700      $219,800
Dec 2017:       $207,000      $315,150
Dec 2018:       $235,600      $324,150
Dec 2019:       $301,200      $386,700
Dec 2020:       $360,000      $467,400
July 2021:       $414,700      $520,600

If anyone here has experience in how paying for child's college has impacted their progress to FIRE, I'd like to hear it!

[joe189man]

Welcome @easternblockbabe great progress

there are several posts about how to pay for college, just do some searching

[FIreDrill]

I think my personal capital data got messed up so I'm updating the numbers.  Was briefly over 1M at the beginning of May and have been grinding back up towards that mark while having some expenses come up.  We have a little more cushion now but we are still at the mercy of the markets.

I guess that's me graduating out of this thread, might be back if we see a correction I guess. 26 months to go from 250k to 500k, 37 months to go from 500k to $1M. Projecting out it looks like it will take 47 months to go from $1M to 2M, but who knows!?

I really wasn't expecting this until December/January this year. Money printers are running hot I guess, and you have to think about it in that context. Your savings buys less of an 'annuity' than it used to, so while posting these numbers is great, it's kind of frustrating that the money I save each month doesn't buy me as much 'passive income' as it used to.

Still, will be going out to dinner to celebrate this milestone.

Congratulations @actionjackson !!

After today's paycheck, we are over $500k in just stocks/bonds now!
Next stop - $500k in just stocks. Another year?

[getmoneyeatpizza]

first post $770k invested, small chance 1 million end of next year. Investing 74k a year.


I got some cash I might dump in to get this number up. $180k equity in house plus cash puts me just over $1 million NW.

You should eat more pizza you're saving too much money 👌

I'm inching closer to the $900k mark ($885k  today) and the closer it gets, the slower it feels (narrator: *it's not slow*).

Will it change anything? Nope. Is it an important milestone? Nope. I'm still 8 years away from my RE number, and I know that unless the market tanks, it will happen in September anyway when I get my bonus.

BUT I STILL WATCH IT LIKE A HAWK.

Anyone else obsessing over stupid meaningless milestone or am I the only crazy one?

OK, i'm going out for a run.

Help.

When last I left, I had the temporary experience of having hit $1M in investments. Yes, it was Feb 2020. And then Covid crash. I disappeared, didn't look at things, and kept doing what I was doing, which, unfortunately, was spending money on a house that was mid-renovation. Contractor was able to get through enough of it that we could move in during July and sell our old place. Never figured on carrying both houses for that long, but never figured on a global pandemic either.

Anyway, here's the old count with a most recent update. And with that, I'll bid this, my favorite gauntlet, adieu. Hope to see many of you over in the $1-2M gauntlet soon.

5/6/17     $750k         $674k (*I think I lost history on one of our accounts prior to this)
9/9/17     $800k         $717k
11/22/17   Assets hit $1M
12/15/17   $850k         $770K
3/10/18    $900k         $770k (refinanced house, put $ in and moved from 30 to 15 yrs)
6/16/18    $950k         $818k
12/26/18   $900k         $750k
1/10/19    $950k         $803k

12/31/19   $1.16M        $974k
2/12/20    $1.19M        $1M !!! 
 bad, scary, viral things happened, house stuff, then back at it 
8/13/21    $1.46M        $1.27M

I feel like 80% of the posters recently are up over $900K or otherwise on the cusp of graduating. Good for yall! (and to those with $1M+, get the hell outta here)

But where are the $500K and $600K peeps? Who's going to be with me and the other peasants for the next 2-3 years?? Holla!

@Nick_Miller here and checking in! We're continuing to chug along, better half got a wonderful raise, and I got some potentially good career related news on my end, which should help us keep on path for the 7/2023 $1mm target goal.

I'm in! I just hit $500k this month, which I posted in the previous thread. So my next monthly update will be here.

Present! I'll be here....for a lot more than 2 or 3 years. Can't sack it away as well working PT. Oh well. Somebody's got to sweep the floors around here with all the speedy foot traffic going on. :)

I'm still here at 633k invested and thinking of abandoning tracking our other assets in this race. We're never planning to move, and the cash will be spent or invested. That leaves some small pensions, but I won't consider us actually FI until we have 1m invested.
