April was another amazing month!  We passed our $730K net worth goal this month and are fast approaching our $740K net worth goal. Our net worth increased $9,864.76 from last month to a total of $735,865.85 (spreadsheet screenshot). 

Retirement Accounts

Our retirement accounts are comprised of our 401(k)s, our Roth IRAs and our Traditional IRAs.  We contribute 7% to my wife’s 401(k).  My wife’s company matches up to 5% of her 401(K) contribution (100% vested when deposited) and chips in an additional 5% on top of the match in March (vests over 3 years). This month, we contributed $847.84 to her 401(k).  We contribute 10% to my 401(k) and my company matches up to 4% and deposits the match in March (100% vested when deposited).  This month, we contributed $740.68 to my 401(k).  The total balance of our retirement accounts increased $11,498.94 from last month to a total of $330,674.42.   

Brokerage Account

Currently, our brokerage account consists of a handful of stocks and some cryptocurrency (I prefer to track crypto in the “Brokerage Accounts” field rather than “Cash & Savings Accounts”).  The total current value is $9,759.80, up $1,788.51from last month primarily because we invested a little more money.

Cash & Savings Accounts

Cash and savings accounts consists of a small sum of cash at home and our online savings accounts balance. It does not include our checking account balance that we use to pay our bills each month.  Our cash and savings accounts decreased $6,430.99 this month, bringing the total to $8,933.67.

College Savings Accounts

Our kids have 529 Plans through Vanguard.  This month, we contributed $0 to our son’s 529 Plan and it increased $968.38 from last month to a total balance of $27,227.25.  We contributed $0 to our daughter’s 529 Plan and it increased $570.02 from last month to a total balance of $16,085.97.

Vehicles

My company provides me a vehicle and gas card.  My wife has a 2017 SUV with 55,000 miles.  Her company gives her $300/month auto allowance and $0.53/mile reimbursement.
