Money and Finance
Four years. In early November I reached my 4 year "blogiversary". I honestly don't know where the time went because it doesn't seem like it was 4 years ago that I was writing that horribly brutal post introducing myself to the finance/investing blog world. Seriously, don't check it out.
So much has changed over that time. For starters my portfolio has grown significantly. My FI Portfolio's value was $0 with total investments of $48250. Just 4 short years later and those numbers have grown tremendously. My taxable accounts, FI Portfolio and Loyal3, totaled over $190k at the end of October with total investments worth over $360k. My net worth has grown by a factor of 6 to just over $400k at the end of October.
Even more impressive, to me at least, is that those numbers include this year which has seen a considerable decline in investment capital. I've only added a net of $7,500 to my FI Portfolio this year due to other demands for my cash. Yet my portfolio has continued on churning out dividends that have already surpassed $5k for the year. That's almost as much capital as I've added to my portfolio through dividends alone.

Has It Really Been Four Years Already?
