Assets should actually be $446,510. For some reason it doesn't count my car since it's a 2024 model. Hoping to get close to half a million without owning a home this year.

It's unfortunate I didn't get serious about money until really 2019.

Made this thread almost 9 years ago and my net worth is 12.5 times what it was back then. I still don't own any property other than a car. It's really all stock investments and retirement accounts.

I will openly admit I have not been smart or frugal with my money at all. I've done dumb stuff like buy a brand new car in 2024 then trade it in and buy another brand new car in 2025.

My deal is I keep my total debt at under $12K right now it's at $8.3K and $7K of that is the car. The other little over $1K is just monthly spend for living expenses and discretionary spend on credit cards I pay off monthly.

It's good to track it at least every quarter. Seeing it rise over time is encouraging and empowering. Financial freedom is a must, you see how crazy things are getting out there. Stay investing consistently for the long run and you'll be good. I wish more brehs would put their energy into this game.

Edit: I should reach half a mil by early 2026.

Ugh, just pay off the car and whatever the other CC debt is.
My credit card "debt" is just the float of my living expenses and purchases. I pay all my statement balances in full every month so I'm not paying any interest. The only way I'll ever have a zero balance is if I just stop using the cards which I don't because I get reward points on all of them. I'll always show a balance but if I'm not paying interest it's irrelevant.

I do have the money to pay off the car right now but I don't feel the need. The interest that high yield account earns is 4.4% and the loan is 5.9% so the loan cost me 1.5%. I will eventually just pay it off because it's a 5 year loan and I don't need to take it 5 years. Payment is $153 a month and every paycheck I add $120 to the account with the money to pay it off. In less than 2 years the extra money I've added will be enough to wipe out the loan.

I'm not really a debt free person. I believe whatever debt you have you should be able to wipe out if needed but I don't have a problem having controllable minor debt at low interest rates.

Even with this logic it makes more sense to just pay it off .
