2020 for me has been an amazing year so far. I am very grateful and humbled by that. My individual stock portfolio is up 550% since the same time last year. All my equity funds are up 15.59% collectively since the same time last year also. All in all, I'm up 62.68% from last year. All the time and effort I've put into the market finally paid off.

10.2 YTD XIRR. 80/20. No market timing throughout all the craziness this year, just deployed whatever cash was in accounts on dips.

Up 8.92%. We are currently 75.8% stocks.
S&P 500 is up 14.14% so something seems askew. We sold all our bonds and bought stocks and CD’s so maybe the timing of that messed us up.

Not sure of percentage...would have to factor in contributions vs growth.

In april, I was down $114,000. December 1...up $112,000. Crazy year.

Jan 1 - $639,000
Dec 1 - $751,000

Contributions were somewhere around $12,000.

Up 8.2% YTD, using moneychimp simplification, on a 1/3 bond allocation. I had a big windfall I had to adjust for, so it's probably a few tenths higher. I think that's right...a money chip calculation presumes 1/2 way through the time span, giving the windfall time to earn. But I just got the windfall, no time to earn. Anyway, this thread is all fun and games. Just pleased to be solidly in the plus column for the year

Up 6.73% YTD, AA 36/64


Graph shows 11 months of 2020, both monthly growth, and YTD. Given what 2020 has been like, not too bad.....

Started in March from Prudential 401k to Ira with Fido.March =303106. this morning =381656. so it is up pretty good. Thats just mine but my wife's is similar altho about 100k shy to start, she is happy as well since our SS + pensions have funded us with no withdrawals since we retired in Jan.

Wife came in and said "look at mine too" so i did & her March=198560. her this morning =241385. so about 29% up so hers is invested in a less aggressive mix & I told her we could change hers too but she is happy. So we will just continue to ride along.I was in a stock purchase plan for the 25 yr. I was with Autozone & we bought some Apple about 9 years ago when my SNLaw suggested it that we haven't touched so we have those to keep us happy as well. I really wish I would have known a site like this existed before we got close to retirement but even tho we don't have a lot, thru blind luck and steady saving through our lifetime we will probably be ok and might leave a little for our daughter and granddaughter.

Dec 1, 2019 to Dec 1, 2020. It's been a wild ride but the last 12 months have my NW up 25%, about 3% was savings and rest investment returns.



Crazy thing to me is that last month my NW went up by 6 years living expenses! Easy come, easy go in the short term, so not feeling as rich as I look on paper but it is exciting to see my NW jump so much! I'll feel "rich" if in 6-12 months if the market doesn't correct and earnings start to back up the market valuations...
