My little slice of the internet tugged at the corner of my mind for the first time in a long time this evening as I browsed through a few of my favorite personal finance blogs- also for the first time in a long time. I was really amazed to see in numbers the strides I've made since I last updated my "Where the Money Stands" sidebar back in June 2016, just over 2 years ago:

Since I keep track of my finances very closely my net worth didn't surprise me, but I was really taken aback to see it compared to my net worth just two years ago. Holy cow! What awesome motivation to continue on this journey.
