May 10, 2019 by Mrs. 1500 22 Comments

Hi there, Mrs. 1500 today.I have been pretty silent about my run training and weight loss journey as of late, mostly because there haven't been many updates to make.I've lost the same 5 pounds about 10 times, only to have them creep back on again. It's not very inspiring to read about, and it sure isn't fun to write about.My running has taken a nosedive as well, as … [Read more...] about Mrs. 1500’s Second to-Last Half-Marathon Post

February 13, 2019 by Mrs. 1500 26 Comments

Hi there, Mrs. 1500 today.I'm writing this a bit late (Wednesday morning) because I wanted to weigh in this morning before posting.I'm FINALLY seeing a very small amount of success.

January 23, 2019 by Mrs. 1500 8 Comments

Hi there, Mrs. 1500 today.My friend, Miss Mazuma, texted me a few weeks before 2019 started, asking if I'd like to part of a step challenge.Sure, I answered. Because I DO want to get 10,000 steps every day, but it's SO EASY not to get them in. (As I sit here, at 7:35 in the evening, I have 5,270 steps.)I work. By choice, but I'm still sitting at a desk 5 days a … [Read more...] about Accountability: Mrs. 1500’s Experience with Responsibility

A YEAR Of Challenges!

January 16, 2019 by Mrs. 1500 7 Comments

Hi there, Mrs. 1500 today, to talk about all the challenges I'm participating in this year.Actually, I'm not SURE of all the challenges, yet. I'm already part of a Minimalism Challenge with Mrs. Waffles on Wednesday from last December, that I didn't quite finish in December so it's spilling over into January.My dilemma with that one isn't the stuff involved, it's … [Read more...] about A YEAR Of Challenges!

Freedom!

My goal was to build a portfolio of $1,000,000 by February of 2017; 1500 days from the birth of this blog (January 1, 2013). And hey look, I’ve since retired!

1/1/14 (1 Yr Later): $869,635
1/1/15 (2 Yrs Later): $987,351
1/1/16 (3 Yrs Later): $1,057,961
1/1/17 (4 Yrs Later): $1,257,128
1/1/18 (5 Yrs Later): $1,527,701
1/1/19 (6 Yrs Later): $1,549,440
1/1/20 (7 Yrs Later): $2,035,040*
1/1/21 (8 Yrs Later): $3,379,746**
1/1/22 (9 Yrs Later): $4,762,642
1/1/23 (10 Yrs Later): $3,112,821
1/1/24 (11 Yrs Later): $4,562,750

6/1: $5,830,567
7/1: $5,904,562
8/1: $6,469,507

Gains (since 1/1/2025): $408,713

Overall
Gains since 1/1/2013: $5,883,464
Net worth***: $6,869,507

* The big jump between 2019 and 2020 was partly because we bought another home, but kept the previous (much more expensive) one as a rental and started counting it as an investment. We have since sold it.

** Tesla.

*** Includes our primary home equity in addition to our investment portfolio.

Finally, we still have about $290,000 in mortgage debt (which I love!). No regrets about the debts!
