Share your net worth progression

Hey @Sirob @SteveDB and @weirded (and potentially others), the Net Worth tracking sheet is now available in English. Check it out :

@dbu @weirded @danfaiz : we now have to specify the year in the first sheet, and the currency exchange is then fixed at the last day of the month. And for the ones that don’t want to use the automatic converter, they can keep their account in CHF and do the conversion themselves. This way, the sheets stays flexible and modular for each usage.

Will be useful especially for new members starting to keep track of their situation.

Below from 2012 to 2021, did not record closely in 2018 (probably was 2.0M) or before 2012. But I do remember being at ~125k in 2005 and below 25k in 2000… goal is 5M.

Still the wrong direction but with all taxes paid for the year (hopefully) we should be good for the next growth phase.

You should virtually withhold any future taxes that you know you will have to pay anyway, this will smoothen out the chart.

Good progress! Good to keep some cash instead of bonds. If the market drops again heavy, good way to put that money at work.

Couple of questions as data starts in 2018. Can you share:

  1. How many years have you have been working and where if outside CH
  2. Industry
  3. Roles

Indeed, you can see in the spring 2020 the cash going over to some stocks :slight_smile:

I am working in IT in CH since 2007 but earning well only since 2014 or so. Earned almost nothing before that.

Hi,

How are you accounting for your “residence”? Buy price fixed without deducting the mortgage debt? Do you depreciate it? Same for the rentals. Are these rental properties you bought and you are accounting for the buy price no debt?

Just curious. Congrats for being well over 1M!

I very slowly appreciate the amount I put into my property in CH after having done some renovations and given the recent increase in prices in the last years.

Yes I don’t count the mortgage because it’s huge and would depress me :slight_smile:. Also I probably will sell the place at some point and with the proceeds buy a larger one outright in a lower cost of living area where I’ll most likely retire.

The rental is again a very conservative evaluation of its price minus the mortgage.

Nice progress. May I ask how old you are? And how much you are able to save each month?

Great success Giff!
I just can’t get over the random dates at which the numbers are evaluated :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :see_no_evil:

Early 40s. Not sure how much we save, something around 10k/month on average I would guess

It’s the day I get to freeze the numbers, any day will do as long as it is before the salary comes in.

Why did I ask, now I feel like I’ll never reach FI :rofl: I make around 10k net a month before taxes. At least I have the advantage of being 10 years younger :slightly_smiling_face:

What do you mean with “net before taxes”? I was making 7500 gross when I was your age…

I mean this is the amount that reaches my bank account, but not subtracting the yearly cantonal and state taxes.

A quick portfolioupdate: I am currently moving out of the (US/EU/CH) equity market and preparing for next correction that seems to be around the corner IMHO.

I plan to go down to 50% with my equities and to have 10% cash buffer by the end of the year and 10% gold as inflation hedge and because it’s shiny. Missed a good oportunity last week when gold was crashing… I am also a fan of p2p and plan on doubling my money in this asset class (yes I know it’s very unpopular here but I like the regular cash flow since i have already retired). And I’ll buy some more crypto next time it crashes because I like to gamble a bit :black_joker:

Nice progress!

If I’d get a dollar every time someone says this, I’d be in retirement already :smiley:

True, but one day we will be right :nerd_face:
The way the central banks are printing money ATM this can only end bad.

So let me get this straight: you are moving out of the equity market and into currency. At the same time you’re afraid that too much currency is floating around. Or did you invest in something else? If yes, then what is it? I wonder what kind of asset is safe from low interest rates and covid support programs.
