Race from 500k to 1M!

[JGS1980]

There should be a special prize for people who cross over $1M right at the end of the year ...

There is, it's called a second comma.

[talltexan]

Isn't there usually a late-year pullback?

About what I expected to be the outcome of the last month and a half. We've bought a house (and started renovations), gotten married, and went on our honeymoon in the last 5 weeks so I'm not too surprised by the drop.

01/01/21 - $400,149
02/14/21 - $427,486 (+$27,337)
03/01/21 - $443,490 (+$43,341)
03/19/21 - $451,670 (+$51,521)
03/31/21 - $458,005 (+$57,856)
04/15/21 - $470,187 (+$70,038)
04/30/21 - $475,833 (+$75,684)
05/15/21 - $486,446 (+$86,297)
05/28/21 - $497,565 (+$97,416)
06/05/21 - $505,428 (+$105,279)
06/30/21 - $517,109 (+$116,960)
07/30/21 - $534,405 (+$134,256)
08/15/21 - $543,454 (+$143,305)
08/30/21 - $548,512 (+$148,363)
09/16/21 - $578,628 (+$178,479)
09/30/21 - $563,939 (+$163,790)
10/15/21 - $574,190 (+$174,041)
10/29/21 - $598,171 (+$198,021)
12/16/21 - $584,144 (+$183,995)

Really wanted to hit $600,000 by year end (in part to keep on track for our ~7/2023 $1mm goal - which realistically may be more like 10/2023), but looks like we're going to fall a little short. Just means we need to step up our game for next year - I'm being told I'll be getting promoted, which should help increase the size of the shovel at least a little bit.

Hello!  We just had a big NW jump this month to jump us up to this thread.

Oct 2021:  $563,047.23

Nov 2021:  $571,338.24   A much more usual nw increase, around $8,000 in a month.  Nothing else exciting going on.

8k is great! Co-worker who is ~40 years old told me they had <10k saved... total.

Unexpected bump due to some unexpected cash allowing some extra investments. Never mad about getting more in investments in what would have otherwise been a flat to down month. December will likely be only the market. All tax advantage space is maxed and I don't foresee anything extra to go in anywhere else.

I'm going to have to add a couple columns to my table! Or just remove the previous "race."

Congrats on the gains you've made in less than four years - impressive! I really like your table. I'm new to the investment race (currently aiming for $500K). Random q: How do you create such a beautifully aligned table? I used google docs and it was a mess when I tried to copy and paste it here.

Thanks! Quote my post again and you should see the table formatting. Delete/add your info! That's what I did originally (borrowed it from @dogboyslim who originally borrowed it from @ASW...)

Don't delete anything between the [brackets] (i.e.- "table" , "tr', "table") Just delete/add years/months/data as needed. Do delete the brackets with "quote" and "quote/" though or it wil show as a quote from me still.

Ohhhh nooooo!

My in-laws, when my DH and I first got married, had money saved in their 401ks (idk how much), but a basically nonexistent emergency fund.  They had one large emergency and pulled from their 401ks to fund it, with a payback plan, and then another smaller thing came up and they asked if we could repay them for something faster so they could have funds to cover it.

Living like that must be so stressful.

Continuing the corporate slog as long as I can stand it is at least supported by the impact on my NW #s. As shitty as this pandemic year was in many ways, at least I took a big step towards eventually being able to tell my corporate overlords to stuff it when I FIRE.

Excited to close out this race with the close of the year!

Totals are liquid NW on Mint, excludes primary residence.
Since my last post I changed jobs within my company and find the new job to be much less of a miserable slog. I’m feeling good about finding balance with my work while building up the stash.

[kiliscout]

Closing up $126k for the year, and so close to the $600k mark that I can almost touch it! The $126k includes my maxed out my pre-tax savings, plus matching; roughly 10k to my brokerage accounts, and about $15k in cash. The rest is all thanks to the market. :)

Hi, everybody! Where's the coffee machine? The market's graduated a lot of folks from the 250k thread this year and I figure I might as well slip in right under the wire and join them.

Think I'll hang out here for a little while - on paper I should be here through late 2023.

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

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.

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.

I'm up $136,518 from this time last year. $41,200 of that is my own contributions, $3,500 is my employer 401k match, and the rest is market gains. Crazy!

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!

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.

My TNW didn't actually go down. I'm pulling in Zillow - 7% for house value and it was way too high last month and adjusted to a more reasonable amount this month.
