Hey guys!
I’ve got another monthly net worth update for you. Spoiler: I’ve broken the $200k mark for the first time! Let’s take a look at my monthly net worth status updates since I started writing about it in March.
- March 2021: $162,239
- April 2021: $181,250

Sometimes it feels like I’m not making much progress, but then I look back at views like this and it puts things in perspective for me. In just over two years that I’ve been tracking my net worth, It’s gone from about $70k to over $210k in two years. That’s insane and something to be proud of. To those who may be feeling the same way, zoom out a bit and see how you’ve done over the last few years.

Another month that I made a few strategic bets. You may be wondering why my “investments” section didn’t go up more given how well the market has done lately. The answer is I moved a bit more money from my taxable account into my crypto portfolio. Crypto has done really well lately and I continue to feel good about its growth over the next few years. Plus, all of the money I do have in investments serves as a buffer in case crypto goes to zero. I still believe that’s a possibility, so I don’t put any more into crypto than what I’m willing to lose completely.
I’ve also got a bit of debt still on my 0% APR credit card from my wedding, but I expect to pay this off in the next few months to get back to debt free. As much as I want to pay it off immediately, it actually doesn’t make as much sense because I can earn more interest in my high-yield savings account (3%) than I would paying off a 0% APR card.
Have you guys done well lately? I hope so. Until next month!
Your next $200,000 won’t take as long. It’s great seeing the gains.

I’m hoping so, although the last few weeks have reminded us that the market doesn’t always go up. Thanks for reading!
