Kim Ehardt: Resourcefulness, Optimism, And Inspiration

February 16, 2024 by Mr. 1500 Days 3 Comments

Every once in a while, you come across someone amazing. Kim Ehardt is one of those people.

Her life has been a wild adventure; from living on couches to becoming a firefighter who owns rental properties. She’s optimistic and resourceful.

It’s refreshing to meet someone truly different in the financial independence space.

Listen to her interview on Mile High FI or watch on YouTube:

To hear more of her backstory, listen to her interview on Afford Anything.

And visit Kim at KimEhardt.com.

Thanks Kim for being an inspiration.

    Comment to pass to Kim. I clicked your link to her site and you can’t ger to any content unless you give her your name and email and subscribe. That’s a turn off. I’m not subscribing to unless I have seen something to like first.

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
1/1/24 (11 Yrs Later): $4,562,750
1/1/25 (12 Yrs Later): $6,060,794

2025: Investments only
1/1: $6,060,794
2/1: $6,147,861
3/1: $5,729,518
4/1: $5,358,309
5/1: $5,444,482
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!
