Today's 10 Questions comes from Kevin Ha, better known on the internet as the Financial Panther.I first met Kevin at a Camp FI in his home state of Minnesota. At one point, he made the mistake of falling asleep on a couch which was a mistake on Kevin's part:Please take the time to read all of Kevin's answers. He added his own question at the end which I found to be … [Read more...] about 10 Questions With The Financial Panther

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!

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!
