September 2026 net worth update

September 30th, 2026 at 06:43 pm

Well, this was a meh month for net worth. We basically erased the $12K of gains from last month. I'll really be interested to see where this year ends vs where it began, because I don't feel like we've had too many great months. At least we're still in Coast status by both my future calculations, with the lower estimate being that we have a $280K surplus in retirement savings, so that's good.

Most of the loss was retirement accounts and a few grand was borrowing from the HELOC to cover our shortfall. More on that hopefully in a separate post; suffice it to say it's still a sticky financial situation but we're much better off than we were at the end of last month. We're still adding a lot of debt this year and we'll still need to pare down our 2027 annual budget, but once again, pulling together with my partners has yielded a great amount of progress!

    Yeah, ever since the war with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz business, the overall economy, and my portolfio as well has been pretty meh. Right now, I’ll be happy if we can just settle a flat end of the year.

    Still though, you guys are doing great, so keep coasting along!

    I feel like every gain we've made is then wiped out so I agree, meh is accurate.

    LAL, I agree. I feel like we keep cutting more little treats and extras from our grocery list yet still going over budget every month. Not to mention utilities and gas.
