Thursday Rant: I’m A Quadrillionaire! (And Other Crap)

June 14, 2018 by Mr. 1500 Days 21 Comments

It's been a while since I tossed a rant your way. The weather is warm and the drinks are cold. Life has been good. Rants are largely a product of foul moods, so I just haven't been feeling it.However, the other day, I noticed a ridiculous story on a financial "news" website. It went something like this: Why the Markets May Double before 2020! That got me thinking about … [Read more...] about Thursday Rant: I’m A Quadrillionaire! (And Other Crap)

About the Time One of My Heroes Called Me a Loser

September 19, 2017 by Mr. 1500 Days 97 Comments

If you're reading this blog, you're probably a saver. And I'd bet you'd cringe a little if someone called you a spender. Frugality is nerdy. And by nerdy, I mean cool. So, I laughed a little when someone forwarded me an article written by Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad) where he called me a loser: And then it got worse. Robert called us out by … [Read more...] about About the Time One of My Heroes Called Me a Loser

Rant: ???

March 9, 2017 by Mr. 1500 Days 90 Comments

I've largely given up on my ranting. It's a side-effect of trying to live a more positive life. However, sometimes I just can't help myself... Exposed! We were mostly anonymous until we received some press last year. After that, our cover was mostly blown. To my surprise, none of our friends or family cared much. Some of them made comments like: Oh wow, I see you're on … [Read more...] about Rant: ???

1500 Days: Bringing out the Worst in People since 2013!

August 25, 2016 by Mr. 1500 Days 93 Comments

My buddy Jim wrote a post last Tuesday about trolls. He was inspired by an article about us that went viral and showed up on Yahoo!. Like every other personal finance success story, the trolls came out in force. No bother, seasoned bloggers know not to look at the comments.While I don't entertain their vitriol, lately I've been thinking a lot about the trolls. I mostly feel … [Read more...] about 1500 Days: Bringing out the Worst in People since 2013!

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!
