Monthly Financial Update – July 1, 2022

MonthlyUpdatePiggyBank

The Monthly Financial Update gives our readers an inside look at the allocation and performance of our personal portfolio. At the beginning of each month, we share a snapshot of our investments and highlight their performance over the previous month. In addition, we compute our progress towards achieving our retirement number.

Back In Time?

Well, it looks like we may have somehow traveled back in time. How else can you explain our net worth matching the level it was at over a year ago? Time travel is the only logical conclusion...All jokes aside, the market really dropped heavily this month. The S&P 500 is now hovering around its 52-week low and we have officially entered a bear market! What lies ahead in the short term is anyone's guess. However, long term I'm pretty sure I know how things will play out. With that in mind, the ship remains as steady as ever as we sail towards our early retirement destination! It wouldn't be exciting without a few storms along the way...right? 🙂

Results:
-5.59% month-over-month growth

106.9% of retirement number saved
