November 2025 net worth update

December 1st, 2025 at 02:22 am

Wow, it's just wild to me that it's already the end of the year. I started working on my 2026 Annual Budget this weekend! I have to wait to see how a bunch of things shake out before I finalize it, but I did what I could at this point.

We had very small increases to our retirement and paid off about $1800 of debt principal, so we had a $6K increase to our net worth. Since it appears impossible that we'll pay off our HELOC by the end of the year, which was my deadline before I add it to our "official" debt on our net worth spreadsheet, I fully expect our net worth to decrease at the end of the year even if the markets go up.

But luckily we're over $190K ahead of where we need to be for CoastFIRE, so I'm not worried about it. Probably the worst case scenario is we'll still have $25K of debt in our HELOC, which is a bummer but won't make a huge dent in our Coast surplus. And I'm hoping when I tally things at the end of the year that I can pay it down a little so it'll be less debt than that.

EDIT: I forgot we received an annual update on one of NT's UK pensions, which increased by about US$6,000, so at least that means this month's net worth increase was double what I thought--just over $12K!
