Not a lot of decrease in spending.
But, my 401k is killing it, 17% rate of return....
My individual trading account even more, around 80%.
Good signs:
401k total value, 178k, started putting money in this in 2015.
Contributions this year: 19148 personal, 3079 employer match.
Change in market value, 25800.... More than the contributions, really nice to see this, it is the first sign I am finally doing the right thing.
Personal:
Total value
12300, up 5500 over the last year :-):-):-).
No trading, just buying plug power for several years...
Looking to rebalance more towards vti and iwn.
I was joking that I only need a few years at this rate of return.
Other things, around 140k equity in the house, bought this year.
Got an 30k theoretical increase in value since bought, but contributed to "losing" around 100k usd in rsus as I sold some for the downpayment and then they got up by around 50%.
Other than that, managed to not sell as many rsus as last years which means I will get to around 90k in vested shares in 20 days.
All in all, the work started in 2015 (first time putting money to work while sleeping) starts to pay off.
If I can keep it at relatively the same rate (440k net worth increase in the last 6 years) I should get to the 7 figures net worth in the next 6 years.
Even better if I manage to reduce spending...
For now I am relstively close to increase my income by around 20%, if I get my mojo back to perform well for 4 more years I should be able to take the dreamed sabbatical...
Enough ranting, I still stressed that I don't have enough to secure things yet, although in theory I could almost coast FIRE now?
400 starting stash for 23 years looks relatively fine for retiring at 65....
Still dreaming of being able to at least get to part time in 4-5 years, my son will be 13 then...
