Thursday Rant: A tale of two homes

March 6, 2014 by Mr. 1500 Days 44 Comments

As some of you know, we're in the middle of a big home improvement project. We've had a bunch of ups and down. Last week, there were many ups. We passed our framing and electrical inspections. The inspector was happy with all of the work and went out of his way to tell us so. Woo!However, things took a downturn over the weekend. On Saturday, the garage door opener broke (I … [Read more...] about Thursday Rant: A tale of two homes

Performance Update 12/50: December and 2013

January 7, 2014 by Mr. 1500 Days 41 Comments

My main goal is to build a portfolio of $1,000,000 in 1500 days with no debt*, starting from 1/1/2013. Every month, I provide an update on my status.

Uglyhouse Unglues our Sanity just a Bit

September 10, 2013 by Mr. 1500 Days 39 Comments

We are doing all kinds of crazy projects to the home we recently bought. I call it Uglyhouse because it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wrong. The renovations on Uglyhouse have temporarily turned our lives upside down. I'm not sure if things have ever been so chaotic. We spent Saturday tearing off part of the roof and loading a 20 yard dumpster to capacity.My body is sore. My … [Read more...] about Uglyhouse Unglues our Sanity just a Bit

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**
1/1/22 (9 Yrs Later): $4,762,642

2022: Investments only
1/1: $4,762,642
2/1: $4,404,447
3/1: $4,214,068
4/1: $4,499,622
5/1: $4,007,476
6/1: $3,929,270

Overall
2022 investment gains: -$833,372
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $3,343,227
Net worth***: $4,159,270

* 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!
