Once a year net worth statement with a pre-calculated depreciation schedule for my car and only adding project cost to home value. I still budget weekly to monthly to ensure the ship is on the right course, but try not worrying about the preset behaviors. My mortgage company loves trying to tell me the estimated equity in my home (without knowing my project work) and following up with HELOC/loan..... Not too concerned with paper gains on a home - great to see and reaffirms I picked a good place, but can be wiped away in a bad market.

Quarterly net worth statements have been a huge help for me. I agree daily/weekly is probably too much but monthly or quarterly makes sense to know your decisions are helping grow your net worth, and keep you motivated on the journey.

I totally agree Bo. I like MMSA and HYSA for short term and emergency saving. I love CDs for medium term goals such as transitioning fund for leaving the military, PCS or home buying. In 2020 I had a person who had all their money invested as they were transitioning even though I told them they needed liquidity while they were searching for a job. The COVID crash came and then they understood.

Our properties are 68% of our total assets and our investments are 38% (from the Net Worth template). Should we focus on paying our rental property loans early or to increase our brokerage accounts? We already maximize our 401K & IRA accounts. The loans interest are from 2.75% to 4.5% and the loan balances are from $18K to $355K. Thanks!

No, you can't have too much cash. You may have more cash than you need for your goals, but maximizing wealth is not required. I don't even think of cash as an emergency fund; I think of it as an opportunity fund. It's nice to have cash on hand when a good opportunity presents itself.
@vaderwashere3652 ай бұрын
Once you have more than enough cash, don't let it sit idle. Keep it in investments that you can liquidate quickly or borrow against. When you only can barely have an emergency fund, then maybe keep it in cash, otherwise, that is dead money. I learned this the hard way by having $80K in stale cash for years and never had to use it (except to buy another house). I missed out on years of gains. Now I keep everything in the stock market and real estate and have never had a liquidity problem. It is the best of both worlds, when you can afford it.
@mthlay152 ай бұрын
I'm sure that at some point, the opportunity cost outweighs the convenience of cash. Sure, having cash on hand or in a bank is great, but if I have twice my annual salary sitting in a bank account for five years or more, inflation is just sucking the money's purchasing power away. Instead, invest that cash in a Total Market fund. Capital gains tax are minimal and growth is double what a HYSA gives you. Management fees need to be addressed, but many index funds can be found with management fees that are less than 0.25%. Lossing $100 per $10k over four years in fees is better than losing $1500 per $10k over a similar length of time..

If you have the ability to have a large reserve fund, you realize this. Again, there are niches where this won't be true, but we have the ability to have a 25 month emergency fund, but we only have 2 months or so in cash - we keep almost all of it in our investments (mostly stock). I too was ultra conservative and had a 6 month reserve fund. After years of missed gains, I started acting like the wealthy person I was and put more of my $ to work. If you need your funds in an emergency you can sell stock and tack the capital gains tax hit and possibly risk timing the market, or you can just borrow against your assets and keep letting your dollars work for you. We have never had to do this, but that is what assets give you... flexibility.
