Congrats  @nick663 and  @JLee crossing the finish line!

Welcome @Sugaree

Down $19K this month despite $4K net savings. Happy for a little stock market correction now versus a big correction later.

Joining y'all officially. Looks like I never started posting for this race this year. Contributions won't be as large since we're saving cash for some larger purchases but I always like holding us accountable to keeping eyes on this.

Welcome zeli2033!

Down month in the markets. Also, last month, I started including my hubs taxable account bc it's getting too hard to filter (accounts for the 60k jump, the rest was market gains and my contributions). Feeling super motivated lately - but also in the thick of childcare costs- so I can only do so much lol

Edit to add: Dedication is way more powerful than motivation; that's why my investments are automated. This is also my mantra for exercising- but it's nice to feel motivated anyways

Nice! This makes me think I should have some progress in May unless something bad happens in the next 10 days.

Hopefully good progress after your recent hitting of 800k! It's hard not to check often at this point. It seems unreal to me, and we just hit 800k not that long ago ourselves.

I ripped the proverbial band-aid off and wrote down the book value of my apartment syndications by $38.5K this month. One of three is on the brink of failure, but I'm hoping they all can hang on and at least break even over the next eight years.

Congrats @SpareChange crossing the $800K mark, @falsekrakk808 with the all time high! And @PlanetDee , congrats to you too, crossing the $600K mark! It is certainly unpredictable what the markets will do. Gotta love the good surprises.

@dandypandys big congrats on graduating!

November 18, 2023: $580,473.22 as of this morning. Small market upswing plus a fairly large payment from my business deal earlier this year means I hit both my Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 goals well in advance on paper. Some of this will be taken out for taxes, but it’s been a crazy month for progress toward my goals.

December 1, 2023: $603,891.35 as of today's paycheck. Approximately $27K of this is earmarked for taxes, so I'm sitting at around $576K "true" net worth. I've reached out to my CPA to see if I can to do anything before year end to reduce that bill.

January 18, 2024: $601,752.29 as of today. This is the adjusted "true" net worth after taking out the tax account I have earmarked (currently sitting just under $45k). So I'm well on my way to my Q2 goal of $620K early, but I also have a lot of work that needs to be done around the house. I just paid for a bathroom remodel, and have a lot of other work that needs to be done (water penetration issues and remediation). Overall doing well and feeling good about the progress I'm making.

February 12, 2024: Weird mid-month update I guess. $622,698.18 adjusted "true" net worth with earmarked taxes taken out of consideration. Hit Q2 goal already, but I likely won't hang onto it for too long since I still have a LOT of work around the house to get done. I'm hoping to keep the kitchen + flooring + drywall down to ~$25K or so but we'll see. Already $23K in this year between bathroom, re-grading the lawn, and installing gutters and french drains.

March 6, 2024: $628,383.97 for now after bathroom, re-grading lawn, and installing gutters and french drains at the house. Still have more work to do, but just glad NW is still mostly holding through the spending. I'll go ahead and mark my quarterly goal as met, ahead of the curve and still waiting on some disbursements.

April 8, 2024: $704,138.33. Still doesn't really feel real, but I'm going to keep my head down and keep moving forward.

June 4, 2024: $757,837.00. Missed the May update, can't believe it's already June. Hit Q1 2025 goal. I need to adjust my goals but it's hard to keep projecting increases when I'm not really sure when the "gravy train" comes to a halt. I'm keeping my head down, working, investing, and fixing up my damaged house. Not a whole lot else going on.

I really like the attitude that comes through this latest post.  You have made fantastic progress through the years and exemplifies the focus needed to get to where you are.  I hope to graduate to this thread this year, but need to be more like you (focused) and a little less YOLO in my own financial journey.

Thanks so much for the kind words. :-) Although the vast majority of my progress has been from blind luck in a few key moments, it's still required a lot of work. I will say that it's been a massive struggle, I've given up too much, and it's taken a toll on my health and wellbeing, so I hope that you find some middle ground and keep on marching toward your goals in a healthy and sustainable way. You got this!

I've been keeping an eye on your progress too, and it looks like you are already buckling down and making it happen month after month, too.

Nothing major to report. We're spending a good chunk of time analyzing and planning for some larger purchases. I don't anticipate investing progress to make major headway while we're in cash saving mode but we shall see!

Whoops, looks like I missed May completely!  We are in the very boring and very tedious middle.  But I have learned to strike a good balance and am taking some time away from work/career to focus on our new move and young kiddos until another opportunity presents itself.  Still able to put away some in IRA's but not going full throttle like a few years back.

New milestone... $hit's getting real. Love that my stash is working so much harder than I am now.

[J.P. MoreGains]

I'm only checking balances every 3 months... I kind of like these tables where it's tracked every month.

Any downsides to monthly tracking? I haven't wanted to follow too close and get discouraged too often when I have a down month.

But I like the data points like this. Can pretty much anyone post their numbers here?

No one is going to stop you. But generally this thread is for folks with a networth between 500k and 1M.

Any downsides to monthly tracking? I haven't wanted to follow too close and get discouraged too often when I have a down month.

But I like the data points like this. Can pretty much anyone post their numbers here?

I switched from monthly to quarterly once our investments grew to the point that the market had more say in the direction of our net worth than our savings. Additionally quite a few funds distribute dividends on a quarterly schedule.

But you don't have to choose one or the other. If you use good accounting software you can pull up historical data for any period/frequency you choose. I generate net worth graphs in GnuCash using monthly data points, even though I only reconcile everything thoroughly once per quarter.

I'm only checking balances every 3 months... I kind of like these tables where it's tracked every month.

You could continue to check quarterly, but backfill the two prior month data points.

Here's the 100K-250K thread.

It's exciting to graduate from one thread to another! And it breaks up the journey a bit.

As of yesterday, tally was…..994,767. I exclude an investment account for the 7 month old that has >$7k in it. So I guess if you include all members of the household, we are officially over the finish line. I’ll hold here until we are solidly over. 20ish months for this race.

20ish months to complete this race is incredible.  I am about to join this race, and am now even more inspired.  I was shooting for sub 4 years once in this race, but sub 2 years, WOW!!!  Incredible!

It is impressive! @tacticalteam4 would you mind sharing how much of that growth has been from saving? Are you saving $15K-$20K a month or are you 100% BTC? ;)

Saved roughly $240k in 2023, and around $130k so far this year. Rest is dogecoin and Pokιmon cards.

June update:$826,477. Up $16,473. We've been really short of labor in my dept this month, so I've been helping out by putting in a few 60 hr weeks. That well should dry up before the end of July. Nice little $$ boost.
