So my invested assets rose in value by about 52k this year, and of this amount 37 k was due to passive income money coming and and being reinvested, or the growth of stock valuations (not sure where to categorize that but in my case I'm adding that into passive income.) So my regular work in this scenario covered our living expenses with about 15 k left over which went into new investments, and thus about 70% of the total increase of our invested assets was due just to letting our capital grow.
It will be fun to see what happens to that number over the next few years, as I don't see any big pay increases coming over the horizon, nor am I planning on working anymore hours either, so maybe we can get the ratio up to 80/20 or 85/15 soon.
