I just wrote the blog about me approaching $2 million net worth. Yesterday I logged into my Monarch account and I had already achieved $2 million net worth. That was fast! I achieved $1 million net worth in 2020. Only 5 years later & that has doubled. I'm really blown away, honestly. I remember being in my 20's & knowing that it was possible, but it seemed so far away. I rember thinking that I could never max out my retirement accounts. I've been doing that since 2008. I just decided to do it & then it became automatic after that. Everything that seemed so unlikely has happened. I'm very grateful.

It was not that long ago that I reached $1 million net worth. That was only during the Codid pandemic which was 5 years ago. Wow, seems like yesterday. It's wild that I'm now looking at $2 million. I may reach it before the end of the year if the market doesn't have a downturn. I really can't believe how quickly my net worth has grown. I just want to make sure that I don't accumulate debt again, which is why I'm being very prudent right now to pay off my medical debt & traveling from this year.

I am depleting my savings to pay off debt this month. It makes me nervous to see the balance go so low, but debt makes me nervous as well.

For 2024, I completed all of my goals save for the savings goal. For the last few months I had to pause savings as I was spending so much money due to the new home & move.
I did not get my eye surgery this year & I am expecting to have a surgery for my fibroids so some of my FSA money will probably go towards that. I will reassess having eye surgery. I got contacts, but I am not happy with them yet.
2024 Goals:
$23,000 TSP ✅
$6,000 TSP employer match ✅
$7,000 IRA ✅
$6,000 brokerage ✅
$12,000 savings ❌
$2,600 FSA (to fund my vision surgery) ✅
My Net Worth increased by $316,569 in 2024.
2023 Net Worth $1,489,227
2024 Net Worth $1,805,796

September was so very expensive: moving, new home, new furniture, a lot of home supplies & services purchased. I'm looking forward to settling into a more normal or routine schedule as far as expenses goes.

I posted my net worth update on the 1st & again a blog has disappeared. It's so frustrating when that happens. This one had my first numbers for the house as well. I am finally moving today, but I will repost the blog when I get a chance.

I just posted my June New Worth, then eclipsed that with this week's gains. So much in fact that Monarch had me surpossed $1.7 million for the first time. Pretty cooly. Lucky 7! I will feel very confident when I reach $2 million. That is my goal by age 50.

Good Morning and Happy July! It's been over a week since I've seen the house. I'm headed there this morning for doctor appointments and will stop by to see the updates. I'm antsy to see whatever progress they've made. I don't get nearly enough pictures. 🏡

My brokerage account is earmarked for my downpayment on my home, which is scheduled to be completed 6 months from now. I'm glad to have 6 more months to accumulate savings. I know they say that a downpayment shouldn't be invested aggressively, but I don't want to pull the money prematurely.

I added my VIN to Monarch & got a vastly different car value than the one estimated from Credit Karma. Interesting. I really don't look at my car like true asset, but it does have value. However, if I had to replace my car I'd definitely be out more money.
I am sticking with Monarch. Mint was free, but I paid $50 for the year. I think it's worth it. I think it's the closest to replicating what Mint was. Still keeping Credit Karma as well.
Piling up cash as I really get serious about looking at houses is a big priority. I want to be back in my hometown by Christmas. So if I'm building I need to start soon.

Yesterday my Thrift Savings Plan balance crossed $1 million for the first time. $1,001,824.87 to be exact.
My Roth IRA balance is $295,011.92. If this holds steady I can expect to cross $300k next year.

One of my CDs pays the monthly dividend on the 1st so I'm always a day late.
TSP $980,827

Brokerage $86,295
Total Investments $1,357,671

Monthly Gain/Loss +$117,446
Checking $16,841 (included this month just to give an idea of what I usually have for cash flow, not included in my net worth calculation)
Car $15,062 (checked Kelley Blue Book value this morning, also not included in my net worth calculation)
My investments gained another $14,000 just one day later. I'm less than $9,000 away from reaching one million in my TSP. So close!
