Thursday Rant: Ain’t got time for a rant

October 30, 2014 by Mr. 1500 Days 18 Comments

I had something almost worked up for today, but it didn't feel quite right. We have been working our butts off on the house, so there is little time for much else lately. It is all our fault though.A couple months ago, we successfully convinced all of our relatives to come to our house for the holidays. Score! Oh wait, there isn't flooring or doors in half of the rooms … [Read more...] about Thursday Rant: Ain’t got time for a rant

September 16, 2014 by Mr. 1500 Days 5 Comments

About 10 years ago, Mrs. 1500 and I were going through an old box of random stuff*. She pulled out a little green dinosaur and said, "What is this?" To which I replied, "Wow, I've had that dinosaur since I was a little kid. Let's keep him!"Shortly after that day, a goofy tradition was born. The dinosaur would travel with us and get his picture taken. Our little green … [Read more...] about Interview with the Frugalsaur

Thursday Rant: Frugalsaurus and the American Money Trap

August 6, 2014 by Mr. 1500 Days 48 Comments

Have you ever heard of an Indian monkey trap? It's a device with a hole barely large enough for a monkey to stick its hand in. You put a banana in the trap and the monkey reaches in to grab it. The monkey finds out that with its hand wrapped around the food, it can no longer remove it from the trap.

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!
