Friday Gratitude: CENSORED!

November 4, 2017 by Mr. 1500 Days 11 Comments

On Monday, I mentioned that I may be gone for a while because I'm moving my site. Bluehost had a bad habit of going down once per month, so I decided to move to another host, DreamHost. DreamHost has turned into NightmareHost as my site now routinely takes over 10 seconds to load. Not good. Do I go with unreliable or slow? I don't know.I hope that the issue is mine and … [Read more...] about Friday Gratitude: CENSORED!

Gratitude: When Sh*t Hits the Fan Edition

August 24, 2017 by Mr. 1500 Days 33 Comments

The mechanical objects in my life have plotted against me. Dead Battery After we got back from vacation, I went to start-up the Honda Element and found that it was dead. Hmmm, maybe I left a door open or interior light on? I charged the battery and drove around a bit, but it was dead again the next day. To figure out what was going on, I broke out my little friend, the … [Read more...] about Gratitude: When Sh*t Hits the Fan Edition

Shannon and Sergio who write over at Screw the Average guest post today with a healthy dose of gratitude! Screw the Average is a pretty great blog name, but I like their tagline even better:be an outlier.And these two are definitely outliers. Check out some of their travels. While those photos are awesome, you must see the one here (and read the story on that page … [Read more...] about Gratitude Found Through Perspective

Friday Gratitude: Frugal Travel with Friends (and The Jim Collins Lounge Lizard Tour!)

July 14, 2017 by Mr. 1500 Days 38 Comments

The best (and most unexpected) part of blogging is all of the great friends that we've made from interesting parts of the world. Some are fellow bloggers while others are just nice people I've run into at meetups or chatted with over email.I recently mentioned that we're going on a big trip to Maine, Vermont, NYC and Scotland. However, I didn't mention that this trip mostly … [Read more...] about Friday Gratitude: Frugal Travel with Friends (and The Jim Collins Lounge Lizard Tour!)

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
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): $3,223,173**

2021: Investments only
1/1: $3,223,173

Overall
2021 investment gains: $0
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $2,793,703
Net worth***: $3,519,746

* 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, so now count it as an investment.

** Tesla.

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

Finally, we still have about $370,000 in mortgage debt (which I love!). No regrets about the debts!
