RAGBRAI On FIRE

July 31, 2019 by Mr. 1500 Days 17 Comments

Almost two decades ago, my girlfriend said something like this to me:There is a bicycle ride across Iowa called RAGBRAI! Let's do it!At this point, I thought that my future wife was insane. Riding past cornfields and hog farms for 500 miles in the heat of July? No thanks.However, I went along for the trip anyway and it turns out that biking across Iowa is a lot of … [Read more...] about RAGBRAI On FIRE

Midwest Roadtripping/ Questionable Swimming

July 22, 2019 by Mr. 1500 Days 9 Comments

We're currently on a road trip that will span almost a month. When this goes live, I'll be on a bike, riding the farm roads of Iowa. However, the trip started in Colorado...First, we made a stop at Camp FI Rocky Mountain:Then we went to Minnesota. I'm a Midwesterner at heart and always love my trips back to the region.After Minneapolis, we drove down the … [Read more...] about Midwest Roadtripping/ Questionable Swimming

Fitness Update: 58

December 14, 2018 by Mr. 1500 Days 8 Comments

Mrs. 1500 is trying to lose a couple pounds and so am I. I've been focusing on cardio exercise because:Greece and Thanksgiving were unkind to my belly and butt. In other words, I was overserved. In other words, I struggle with self-control and shove food into my mouth with reckless abandon sometimes. Mmmm, stuffing and pecan pie...My shoulder still hurts. I'm going to let … [Read more...] about Fitness Update: 58

RAGBRAI: Days 2-7

July 29, 2013 by Mr. 1500 Days 14 Comments

I meant to post every day from my little bike trip/vacation. Didn't happen. Internet access in rural Iowa is hard to come by. Also, cell service is horrible when 25,000 suddenly roll into a town whose population is 2,000.Anyway, we made it. Mrs. 1500 and I (along with my father) successfully biked all 400+ miles. We didn't even get a flat! Woooo! Other random … [Read more...] about RAGBRAI: Days 2-7

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 (primary home excluded)
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): $3,379,746**
1/1/22 (9 Yrs Later): $4,762,642
1/1/23 (10 Yrs Later): $3,112,821

2023: Investments only
1/1: $3,112,821

Overall
2023 investment gains: $0
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $2,526,778
Net worth***: $3,342,821

* 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. 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!
