Retirement Accounts

Our retirement accounts are comprised of our 401(k)s, our Roth IRAs and our Traditional IRAs.  We contribute 8% to my wife’s 401(k).  My wife’s company matches up to 6% of her 401(K) contribution and chips in an additional 3% on top of the match at the end of the year (vests over 5 years).  This month, we contributed $4,486.30 to her 401(k).  We contribute 11% 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 $969.12 to my 401(k).  The total balance of our retirement accounts increased $26,088.94 from last month to a total of $456,472.41.  

Brokerage Account

Currently, our brokerage account consists of stocks and cryptocurrency (I prefer to track crypto in the “Brokerage Accounts” field rather than “Cash & Savings Accounts”).  The total current value is $62,017.76, up $23,000 from last month.

Cash & Savings Account

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 savings increased $4,800.09 this month to a total of $19,075.90.

Home

We use the $528K purchase price that we paid in July 2016 for our home value.  Current comps in the area are ~$630K.  The current balance of our 15-year, 2.875% mortgage loan is $175,366.37.  We paid $300 extra towards our home mortgage principal this month.

Vehicles

My company provides me a vehicle and gas card.  My wife has a 2017 SUV with ~80,000 miles.  We paid off the load balance on my wife’s car ($27,323.96). She will be getting a company car in the coming weeks and we plan to keep the SUV as an extra vehicle.  We also have a ski boat with a loan balance of $46,634.89 at 5.24%. 

Credit Card Balance

All of our credit card debt is paid in full each month.
