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.

We downsized our house, joined the Double Comma Club, fell out of the Double Comma Club, bounced in and out of it for a while - and will … [Read more...] about Get Comfortable Talking About Money

Ladies, Take Care of Yourselves and Get a Mammogram

October 27, 2015 by Mr. 1500 Days 35 Comments

Hi there, Mrs. 1500 back again for the second day in a row.So a few weeks back, I wrote about feeling financially guilty because I bought 4 new bras. You ladies responded that $30 a bra isn't excessive - in fact quite the opposite. I appreciated your responses, and am trying to get over my guilt. I even got rid of those old bras that didn't fit. Thank you.Now let's talk … [Read more...] about Ladies, Take Care of Yourselves and Get a Mammogram

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!
