My goal was to build a debt-free* 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

1/1/19 (6 Yrs Later): $1,549,440
1/1/20 (7 Yrs Later): $2,035,040

2019: Investments only
1/1: $2,035,040
2/1: $2,118,622

Note: The big jump in 2019 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.

2020 gains: $83,582

Overall
Gains: $1,532,579
Net worth**: $2,483,622

*I still have about $80,000 in mortgage debt (which I love!). My solution was to accumulate enough money to cover this or $1,100,000.

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