Hello $10,000,000!
Seven years ago I got this wild idea to chase an absurd net worth goal. At least it seemed absurd at the time to the outside looking in. We had just ended the year (2014) with a net worth of $181,364 and I published my $10M goal in early 2015. In that moment, we were […]
Q3 2022 – Detailed Financial Report #87 – Net Worth $7,933,251
The end of Q3’2022 was a significant milestone as we collected the third and final payment related to selling a majority share (60%) of the business I founded almost four years ago now. Not only did we hit the one-year anniversary of that transaction but it represents another inflection point in how and when I […]
Q2 2022 – Detailed Financial Report #86 – Net Worth $7,948,365
Another quarter in the rear view mirror and that means a new financial report. Our net worth did end slightly lower (-0.70%) for Q2’22 vs. Q1’22 but in relation to the rest of the market, it’s hard to be upset with a relatively flat month. There was one major surprise that significantly offset the decline […]
Portfolio Deep Dive
As the markets correct from their extravagant rise these last couple of years I am taking this opportunity to not only “be greedy when others are fearful” but also to digest the $5.5M that I’ve deployed since 2018. Let’s start with the high-level breakdown and then get granular with it. December 2018 marked our official […]
Save Like a Pessimist and Invest Like an Optimist
I’m pecking at the keyboard in the middle of a severe market correction in both the stock and crypto markets. Chicken Little is starting his “sky is falling” campaign and things could very well get worse before they get better. It’s a bit laughable that people forget that markets don’t go up in straight lines […]
Q1 2022 – Detailed Financial Report #85 – Net Worth $8,003,869
It’s been three months since my last financial update and this is the first report in the new quarterly cadence. This month includes several major milestones to celebrate: (1) We sold our prior primary residence. (2) We used the net proceeds from the above sale to pay off the mortgage we assumed when buying our […]
Everything Always Works Out – New 10 Year Vision Letter
2022: Wow! I can’t believe it has been three years since I went through this exercise for the second time in ten years to plant the seeds of what I desired my life to look like over the next ten. Here is the second of these letters, the one that I wrote in March of […]
A Letter I Wrote To Myself From The Future – A 10 Year Vision Of My Life
2021: I’m republishing this post one final time to reflect on the future I had cast for my life almost a decade ago. With this last and final update, I will add any additional annotations with blue text throughout the letter below. In the near future, I plan to provide a similar style of update […]
Our Spending Budget is $500,000 This Year!
WARNING: This post is about to get ridiculous and maybe even border on preposterous. I realize that we have reached a level of finances and spending that is not relatable to the average person but I can’t let that stop me from sharing my journey. I’ve always written under a policy of full transparency and I […]
