Trolls

Troll Control

July 26, 2017 by Mr. 1500 Days 36 Comments

I'm writing on InvestmentZen today. Click over to read about the different phases of personal finance. Or, read about my battles with trolls first. You know when a post is popular because the haters come out of the swamps. This happened with one that I wrote for Budgets are Sexy last week. Business Insider and MSN republished it and Harvey didn't like my words at … [Read more...] about Troll Control

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

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!

Thursday Rant: Hate Mail Edition! (How do you like my Apple?)

June 25, 2015 by Mr. 1500 Days

If your blog is read by more than five people, eventually you'll receive hate mail and vulgar comments. I'm no exception. I have received emails from disturbed folks encouraging me to: Go *f&? myself. No thanks. Go*f&? <redacted>. No thanks to that either Mr. Disturbed Person.And even: Why don't you &^%$ a cow and then after that, *&^% a ^$#@ … [Read more...] about Thursday Rant: Hate Mail Edition! (How do you like my Apple?)

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): $3,379,746**

2021: Investments only
1/1: $3,379,746
2/1: $3,616,567
3/1: $3,532,156

Overall
2021 investment gains: $152,410
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $2,946,113
Net worth***: $3,672,156

* 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!
