Jan. 2017   $42,000 [discovered MMM at age 41]
...
Apr. 2019   $271,294
...
Aug. 2020  $402,692
Nov. 2020  $427,563
Dec. 2020  $444,558
Jan. 2021  $459,349
Feb. 2021  $475,145
Mar. 2021  $477,249
Apr. 2021  $503,448
...
Sept. 2021 $607,797

Figures above include a pretty conservative home-equity number. Liquid assets are at $515k currently. Realistic home value is probably about $80k higher than what I'm giving myself credit for above, but it has gone through the roof since COVID so I'm reluctant to really count the high valuation.

Chugging along slowly...

1/01/21 - $400,149
2/14/21 - $427,486 (+$27,337)
3/01/21 - $443,490 (+$43,341)
3/19/21 - $451,670 (+$51,521)
3/31/21 - $458,005 (+$57,856)
4/15/21 - $470,187 (+$70,038)
4/30/21 - $475,833 (+$75,684)
5/15/21 - $486,446 (+$86,297)
5/28/21 - $497,565 (+$97,416)
6/05/21 - $505,428 (+$105,279)
6/30/21 - $517,109 (+$116,960)
7/30/21 - $534,405 (+$134,256)
8/15/21 - $543,454 (+$143,305)
8/30/21 - $548,512 (+$148,363)
9/16/21 - $578,628 (+$178,479)

Good news is my Mrs.Finwiz's raise kicks in soon so that'll help up our game a bit. Gotta keep up our pace if we're going to keep our $1m target date in time.

It's been a long time since I posted, but I realized my numbers doubled in the meantime (since summer 2019) and thus joined the 500k-1M club!  It seems like just yesterday we were getting to 100k which was a huge milestone for us. 

7/1/19 -  258,652
9/28/21 - 504,976

Ouch! Got hit with the downturn this month like most other people.

One benefit is that I was able to throw £20k into my SIPP (pension) straight into Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap, so hopefully will see some additional upside to that.

Invested assets, long term savings and debts:

12/31/15    $92,762.33
12/31/16    $163,900.00
12/31/17    $251,415.07
12/31/18    $330,093.64 - new job, nice retention bonus from previous job
12/31/19    $519,878.70 - pension lump sum after leaving old job (rolled into 401k)
12/31/20    $714,958.33

---

01/31/21    $732,701.46
02/28/21    $752,893.42
03/31/21    $768,088.25 - maxed out 401k
04/30/21    $812,226.27
05/31/21    $818,349.97
06/30/21    $845,008.30
07/31/21    $870,706.07 - maxed out Mega Backdoor Roth
08/31/21    $896,241.14 - so clooooose to $900k
09/30/21    $893,116.97 - ouch?


Ouch. I got my bonus this month, plus 2 paycheck contributions, which took me over $900k a few times, and then the market ate all of it in two weeks. On the bright side, I guess that when it does go back up, those lost $ will give me a little boost since I bought less expensive shares. Oh, well.

Q3 Update
Nice thing about doing quarterly is avoiding some (just some, see 2020 Q1!) of the pain of ups and subsequent downs. For the quarter, investment values decreased more than dividends, but not more than we were able to contribute, so overall an increase in both brokerage and retirement accounts (and overall net worth.) Since that painful quarter starting off 2020, $335k increase over six straight positive quarters.

Took 2 years, 7 months to double $250k to $500k.
So far we're now past that same period since $500k, but... we have added $410k, so nothing to sneeze at.

Hey all!

I'm restructuring how I look at things. I'm only posting quarterly moving forward (I need to retrain my brain to think more long-term), and I'm posting progress in terms of total goal/how much we have/how much we still need to accumulate to pull the retirement trigger. This gives me more context as opposed to just tossing out a net worth number.

Assets are all elements of the retirement plan, so investments, cash, home equity (since having a paid-off home will allow us to retire with a smaller nest egg), and college accounts, since we won't pull the trigger until they reach a certain level.

End of Sept 2021
Retirement Number: $1,280,000
Have: $586,791
Still need: $692,209

There was a glitch in HR and they overpaid me by 2k on my last Sept check. They'll deduct it back over the next 4, so Sept was better than it should've been, and Oct is not looking good lol.

$558,479
$8,502 m/m
$112,418 y/y

To help pass the time, thought I'd share a story from this week at work. Patient comes into ER. Was trying to have a bowel movement at home, fainted, fell over and broke his hip. Danger lurks everywhere people...be safe :).

Big jumps! Excitements! A day after I last posted I changed my method for estimating home equity to account for current market value. Big changes! It was way up. A month later interest rates were low and the government refinance penalty disappeared. We did a cash out refinance!

Also this represents 5 years in the races... not a bad start!

Ha. Real first world problems here :)  I'm expecting a truly massive bonus in February.  I hope I don't have to wait that long to get and stay above 900, but I know after February I won't have to worry about that threshold again.

@Nick_Miller @Radagast

I need to train to think long term too. With NW of $1 million and invested assets of 800k I'm still at least 6 years away. All savings is on automatic and honestly looking at this monthly doesn't help at all.  I wish I could be more stoic and just be more present in life vs thinking about something in the future all the time.

Kind of a rough quarter relative to what we're used to lately.  We bought some furniture and took a vacation but it's really just market returns hurting us this quarter... we spent more in Q2 if we're being honest but the market returns hid it.

Oh well, we're still contributing the same so I try to think of it as a compressed spring.  Hopefully we release some potential energy next quarter instead of compressing it further.

Yeah, even with this particular thread, there's no rule that says anyone has to post monthly. For me, I think quarterly will be more healthy.

Too much information really f's with our heads. I look back to when I let $1000 worth of crypto dominate my thoughts on weekends, checking it constantly to try to catch a wave. That was ridiculously bad for me. I got a glimpse into what it must be like for day traders and addicted gamblers. The serotonin rushes are crazy strong.

I'm also at a point where I think checking less often is actually better, I forgot my password, and intentionally avoiding recovering it just to keep from checking.

I need to train to think long term too. With NW of $1 million and invested assets of 800k I'm still at least 6 years away. All savings is on automatic and honestly looking at this monthly doesn't help at all.  I wish I could be more stoic and just be more present in life vs thinking about something in the future all the time.

Yeah, even with this particular thread, there's no rule that says anyone has to post monthly. For me, I think quarterly will be more healthy.

Too much information really f's with our heads. I look back to when I let $1000 worth of crypto dominate my thoughts on weekends, checking it constantly to try to catch a wave. That was ridiculously bad for me. I got a glimpse into what it must be like for day traders and addicted gamblers. The serotonin rushes are crazy strong.
We tracked monthly when we were making major changes (buying a house or changing jobs).  Once things stabilized, there wasn't much value in the monthly tracking so we rolled it back to quarterly.  We were (still are) years from our target so no reason to get down in the weeds on our exact position.
