Today I added share to MO, IBM, and CAH positions.
Here are my net worth totals for the end of November.
Today I created a new position in CAH and added to MO, IBM, VTI, and BND.
MO: 100 shares @ $42.60 --- Yield 8.45%
IBM: 50 shares @ $117.40 --- Yield 5.59%
CAH: 25 shares @ $46.71 --- Yield 4.20%
VTI: 4 shares @ $235.15 --- Yield 1.21%
BND: 6 shares @ $85.38 --- Yield 1.95%
Total capital invested is $12,750.63 and the combine yield is 5.95%. These purchases will increase my yearly dividends by $758.35.
I've been buying VTI and BND throughout the year towards the end of each month. Traditional dividend stocks continue to underperform so I'll gladly add to these position and start new positions as well.
Pipeline reconstruction in progress.
Today I added to MO, IBM, and BP.
Today I added to my MO position and initiated a position in IBM.
Today I decided to re-start dividend investing.
Here are my net worth totals for the end of October.
Another great month! I picked up $35K during October and this marks the 5th consecutive month in the double comma club.
The markets continue to defy gravity and are up roughly 25% for the year.
November won't be so rosy as I have spent quite a bit on home renovations. Spending money to add small/large pleasures from time to time is what life is all about. Hoarding money and just watching numbers increase on a spreadsheet seems a bit more strange to me now.
Hope all is well with everyone out there!
Here are my net worth totals for the end of September.
Markets dropped a bit, but I'm still a member of the double comma club. Looks like October is going to be fantastic!
Onward and upward!
Here are my net worth totals for the end of August.
I'm now comfortably above the 1M mark (until a market correction). Good all around month and year so far.
Now that I'm over 3 1/2 years into retirement I am starting to see how the next 30-40 years will unfold. Taxable accounts continue to hold up and provide daily income and more than cover my expenses. Retirement accounts also grow nicely and along with SS, I should be in really good shape in the decades to come.
Onward and upward!
Here is last of my past due updates. At the end of July my net worth ended at $1,017,133. The trajectory since March 2020 has been straight up. Unbelievable movement!
While I'm excited about making the $1,000,000 mark for a second straight month, It's most likely going to be short lived as I am about to buy a pool. The payments ($50,000ish) will be made over the next few months. If I have a really good back half of the year, I made hold the $1,000,000 mark, but realistically the S&P 500 would have to add to it's 18% gain and finish up close to 25-30% for me to hold the line.
No matter...I have been enjoying my life like never before and sometimes you just have to say "Fuck It"
A few days before my 50th birthday I finally hit $1,000,000 in net worth. There was a time 20 years a go that I never thought that I would hit that number even if I continued working through age 65.
This number is nice, but the fact that I was able to hit it 3 1/2 years after retirement is even nicer. Despite spending in excess of $150,000 since retirement, my net worth has actually increase by $100,000 which means that my portfolio is growing on average $6,000+ per month before expenses.
Even nicer is knowing that my 401k is very close to be accessible, if needed. Also nice is knowing that Social Security (again, if needed) is accessible in less than 12 years.
The multi-stage rocket ship is operating very efficiently and escape velocity is close to being reached. I'll just keep enjoying the view along the journey
May was another positive month. Based on the dealerships having virtually no inventory, my 65k mile Jeep Wrangler has a much higher value than I have reported. In time as the value fall back down below $14k I'll start depreciating it again accordingly.
April net worth inched a bit closer to $1 mil. Passive 401k continues to be the strongest engine. Actual Jeep value is much higher, but I'm going to value it conservatively.
Net worth grinded to a new high in March. Put sales increased and the march toward $1,000,000 continues.

February saw a slight increase in net worth and I ended at a new all time high. I also began selling quite a few put options to help boost retirement income. Mostly DGI stocks.

Time to finally catch up on some posts. THESE ARE THE RESULTS FOR JANUARY 2021
No longer using Mint to keep track of my net worth. Manual calculations and wild ass guess on the Jeep.
It looks like my net worth decreased by the amount of my monthly expenses. I also sold quite a bit of stock to lock in some gains at 0% taxes. Will be doing quite a bit of put selling going forward. Hopefully at better prices. :)

All figures except my Jeep value are calculated using Mint.com.
