Just did the 2025 update and up another 22.5% this year....it's been a great run.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

Never tracked net worth in the early days but I have for the past 8 years. Crazy to see the YOY increases.

14.5%🔼
7.7%🔼
13.5🔼
31%🔼
7.2%🔻
30%🔼
33%🔼

Stay consistent and believe in yourself.

@LonestarMoney @MHIIisKing You nailed it.

As someone who grew up watching the early 90's Braves and currently live around MIL, as long as it's not the damn Dodgers things will be A OK.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@LonestarMoney @MHIIisKing Agreed. For the Brewers it would be the final bridge from starters to Uribe/McGill. Still not worth a high price tag IMO for 2 months.

In reality there are 3 WS front runners and they are all in the NL.

@realfrugalmogul @SteveOnSpeed You and me 🤝

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@SteveOnSpeed Can-yes
Can and live our current lifestyle for 30ish years- also yes
Can live 40+ yrs and live the lifestyle we want- NO.

2.5 is so close but not quite where we want to be.

@LonestarMoney @MHIIisKing And 38 y/o on top of being a rental

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@SCHDETF Answer is- I don't know.
I poured money in like a maniac last Thurs and Fri. I was ready to dump the rest in today if we opened red.

We are green so ill keep the last couple hundred bucks in cash hoping for more red later this week. If not red, I'll invest it next week.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@LonestarMoney @MHIIisKing Brewers fans are saying the same thing but can't touch Made, Pena, Fischer, Adamswezki, Lara or Pratt.

I mean somebody will have to give on a good prospect to make it happen.

@BoomerDivvies We did C (though with a lot more invested)- stay crammed into the small home.

We eventually paid the small house off, grew our income to the point we could buy the bigger home without pausing investments. The small home has so many advantages that most people don't think about.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@MonacoFreedom Hope you had a great one. My cousin's kid and my oldest also share birthdays with you.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@LonestarMoney @aincomeinvestor Considering our mortgage is $0 , I guess we did it!

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@TheDividendDog Birthday and holiday money always gets split into buckets, at least 30% each time goes into thier UTMA.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@TheDividendDog @PunkyCovfefe Hit Mike Jones up on the low!

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@BrewPack8 Where is the rest of the division going?

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@OleTimeHardball They forgot @Brewers legends John Jaha and Greg Vaughn. Need a new list asap.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@LonestarMoney @TopDividendETFs I own, dgro, vym, vig, schd, divo and fdvv for what would be considered dividend etfs.

Dgro is by far my largest holding followed by VYM. It's been solid for years.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@TriplePlayHQ @SCHDETF This guy nails it. I've also heard that it could get added to the S&P but the board needs to approve it and the price needs to stay above either 16.85 or 15.85 to meet the market cap requirements. If included it would dive up share price as well.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@LonestarMoney @shahh I'll add always be buying quality etfs or mutual funds.

Someone who kept buying enron in 08 didn't do so well.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@plasticboss @DadisFIRE I loved how close our kids were forced to be in the smaller house. Now they can spread out. Don't knock the house cause it is small, there are many benefits to it.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@DadisFIRE @plasticboss Our first home was 995 sq feet. Worked for us. 15 yrs in it and only recently moved out to a bigger home (which was more for the schools, not for the home space).

Kind of miss the smaller utility bills, smaller taxes and less maintenance cost.

[Retire to Warmth @Strachota73]

@DividendBreeder Realized this much later than should have been the case. Working hard to build it up now.
