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.
