Nice job, man. Adds up really quickly. It’s amazing just how quickly. I just recently hit the double mark from where my investment portfolio was at 12/31/2013. Did a quick calculation and that’s an annualized increase of over 22%. Of course that includes all of my contributions, but it’s still a great number to see!

I recently got my girlfriend to join me in tracking her/our net worth together. She’s not someone who will read a finance blog, but her response was “WOW! Surprise and happiness!” when I told her that her net worth had increased 14% since she started tracking it as of 8/31/2016.

Good times!

In reply to ZJ Thorne. So glad the spreadsheet is helping you :) It was actually built off another that I found myself almost 10 years ago! So we all keep passing it forward while tweaking along the way!

In reply to Debbie. Most people I know have it in 2-3 different Vanguard funds (to diversify into bonds and/or international) but I like having it all in one biggie for max growth potential. Too young to worry about preserving cash w/ bonds and what not, but that's just my personal opinion. Totally good to spread it around a bit if it makes you more comfortable :)
