Munger, Allocation, Sheep and Crazy Uncle Larry

November 10, 2015 by Mr. 1500 Days 44 Comments

MMM (My Favorite Munger) Let's start off with some Charlie Munger quotes.

Performance Update 28/50: April and the Joy of PEX

May 27, 2015 by Mr. 1500 Days 32 Comments

My main goal is to build a portfolio of $1,000,000 in 1500 days with no debt*, starting from 1/1/2013. Every month, I provide an update on my status. My goal for 2015 was to get my portfolio up to $874,353. Because we saw exceptional returns in 2013 and 2014, I have already accomplished this. Let's have a very late look at April.Hey, isn't this blog supposed to be about … [Read more...] about Performance Update 28/50: April and the Joy of PEX

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!
