Mile High FI: Ask Us Anything

June 23, 2021 by Mr. 1500 Days 4 Comments

I’m not going to write a post about every podcast, but this one was the most fun one yet, so I’ll blab about it just a little here. We had innocent intentions for this episode, but it eventually devolved into a discussion of asparagus pee. Doug and I had a load of fun recording it.

Juvenile antics aside, perhaps the most fun part of blogging/podcasting is interacting with readers/listeners. Y’all leave some great, thought-provoking comments which become fodder for more content.

Doug and I are going to occasionally answer listener questions. Listen to our first Mailbag Q & A on your favorite podcast platform:

  • Apple
  • Google
  • Spotify
  • Stitcher

Or, watch the YouTube video here:

    Regarding withdrawals once retired: In my investment accounts, I have dividends set to cash out instead of reinvesting. Since my annual withdrawal is usually around 4% of assets, and I get 2-2.5% dividend yield from my portfolio, more than half my withdrawal comes from the dividends. The remaining 1.5-2% withdrawal comes out of whatever in the mix is too high in the mix (as Carl said).

    If people had knees that bent the other way around like on a chicken, what would chairs look like?

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
2/1: $3,582,368
3/1: $3,716,852

Overall
2023 investment gains: $604,031
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $3,130,809
Net worth***: $3,946,852

* 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!
