Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Share your net worth progression

Books are closed on 2025, and another nice year thanks to Mr. Market. We had our highest Y/Y $ increase, despite saving a bit less this year. DW and I had higher pay, with her getting a nice raise with a promotion. But expenses were up, largely due to an HVAC replacement and buying a new car (paid cash). We continue to max out both my and DWs mega backdoor, traditional back door and HSA. Looking to be on track to call it quits by 55, maybe sooner if the market keeps moving this way. But I know things are cyclical and fully expect we'll see the bear at some point between now and then. Will stay the course regardless.
