Ask The Readers: Stepping Out Of Comfort Zones

November 12, 2018 by Mr. 1500 Days 16 Comments

I've been thinking a lot about comfort zones lately. If you never stray from them, you're not going to grow much and that's no way to go through life.But first, we must address the question from many weeks ago where I asked if financial independence could be a bad thing for your life, specifically your marriage.Marriage On FIRE Or Fire? Not having a job has allowed … [Read more...] about Ask The Readers: Stepping Out Of Comfort Zones

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. - Steve Jobs on work I have a couple pieces of information that you may find interesting:Early Retirement is not a goal. It's a tool that gets you time back. That's … [Read more...] about Ask The Readers: Your Perfect Work

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!

Investments only (primary home excluded)
1/1/13 (The Start): $586,043
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

2023: Investments only
1/1: $3,112,821

Overall
2023 investment gains: $0
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $2,526,778
Net worth***: $3,342,821

* 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. 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!
