In July I hit two financial milestones:

1. Total Brokerage accounts reached $200,000+ in value
2. Total Net Worth reached over $500,000 (a half-million!)

While these are mostly psychological (since I can’t retire with only these amounts) they are huge milestones that I only reached through a consistent investment philosophy and a little help from the market.

In July, net worth continued to increase due to stock market gains amid the pandemic. Net worth went up 4.9% to end the month at $519,258, or up about $24,000.

In June, net worth continued to go up due to stock market gains amid the Coronavirus pandemic, partially over optimism that states are starting to re-open. Net worth went up 2.6% to end the month at $495,019, or up about $13,000. This month’s gains were about half as much as last month, but we are now within sight of the half million dollar mark! Something we haven’t reached since February.

In May, net worth was up due to continued recoveries in the stock market even while the pandemic is still going on. Net worth went up 4.6% to end the month at $482,158, or up about $21,000. Still away from all-time highs reached at the end of January, 2020 at $481,000+, but a second positive month is a great sign!
