August 2025 net worth update

September 10th, 2025 at 03:01 pm

I can finally access blogs and write entries, hooray! There was about a week when I couldn't, so I couldn't make my usual monthly net worth post.

It was pretty good news for August: about a $25K bump in net worth, mostly due to retirement fund values increasing. We're comfortably at CoastFIRE with a $140K surplus. I tried the calculator with different ages than my 65 goal, and it says I could theoretically retire at 62 and still be at CoastFIRE status. To retire at 61 (10 years from now) we would have to continue our current contributions ($250 per month) for 6 more years. To retire at 60 we would have to up our retirement contributions to $650 per month for the next 9 years (basically no CoastFIRE, just save til retirement).

Who knows what the future will bring, but it's kind of fun playing around with the numbers! We are currently on a European vacation that is definitely over our travel budget for this year, and we're facing spending overages in nearly every category this year, so it's good to feel like our retirement nest egg is healthy at least. I hope it doesn't crash too terribly in the coming months/years.

    Yay on seeing growth in your net worth!

    I agree, it was frustrating when we couldn't get into the blogs.

    Is the number the amount needed to replace current income or spending? If income do you need that much income?

    I didn't see your question, LAL, or rather I may have seen it in the daze of vacation and forgotten to answer! The number is my projection of what we will need; it's much less than our current budget because it assumes the mortgage payments are gone, college savings and summer camps for the kids are gone, and that passive income from the rental properties will cover utilities and property taxes and homeowner insurance.
