2020 Year End Net Worth -- New Record

 



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


Wow! What an amazing year!! Definitely one none of us will soon forget. My net worth continued to march higher as the S&P capped off a 16% yearly gain. At one point in March the broader equity markets were down 36% from the February's high. Scary times as my net worth had briefly dropped below $800,000.

Fortunately the bear market was short lived and the losses were not only recovered, we reached new highs throughout the back half of the year.

At first glance I gained $43,000 throughout the year. Even better, that is after subtracting $36,000 in spending and some depreciation on my Jeep. In other words my portfolio generated about $84,000 in gains or $7,000 a month. 

I have not received any W-2 income since retiring 35 months ago so I feel fortunate that my portfolio continues to comfortably fund my lifestyle.

The march toward $1,000,000 continues.

  1. Fantastic MDP! Q1 was definitely worrisome for the short term of the markets and it's still crazy that the S&P 500 was +16% for the year. Even more absurd is that the QQQ was up nearly 50%. It's great to see someone successfully navigate ER and even better to see your net worth continuing to move ahead. All the best in 2021!

  2. Getting close to the million dollar mark. I hit that for the first time around half a year ago and it's a great feeling. Great progress!

  4. With no W-2 income, you can convert $12,400 (2021 standard deduction) of your pre-tax dollars to a Roth and pay $0 in income taxes. Not only does your money grow tax free in the Roth, it lowers your RMD's in the future.

  5. Great update! Your portfolio is probably even higher now. I bet your net worth is over $1 million now. Looking forward to your next post. :)
