It was a bumpy 2018 for sure. Nice to see the gains in January. I used to be in the VTSAX club but Vanguard just changed Total World to Admiral shares. Instead of just the U.S. now I have the entire world in one fund at a very cheap cost(VTWAX). Grats on your networth! Looking forward to watching it in 2019.

In reply to Jim. I maxed out our IRAs before waiting for my accountant to say it was okay to do so... First time I did that in 10 years, and of course it was the first time we weren't allowed to contribute since we made too much! (I had sold a website that year which pushed us over)

thanks for the update…. out of curiosity, how did you mess up your Roth last year?

In reply to J. Money. Ah, if I was so rich, I wouldn't still be blogging and doing some consulting! Alas, gotta save my pennies to provide for my family.

Dayum! That’s a big increase! How good does it feel to be so rich?! I shoulda invested more in the dip, but I didn’t want to deal with the stress.

Hope the kiddos are doing well.

I hit a milestone this month! $200k, woohoo!!! I started at $60k when I first started tracking in June 2015.

Thanks J. Money for getting me on the net worth train :)
