I just updated my annual spreadsheet (haven’t been on top of it) and some “fun” facts that no one asked for:

  • Our portfolio almost covers my base salary at a naive 4% withdrawal
  • Our net worth is 81% of total lifetime gross earnings
  • My pay at my current job has increased an average of 20% annually over the last decade (with considerable volatility)
  • My pay this year is almost 7x more than my first job out of college (inflation adjusted)
  • Our highest earning year was 4 years ago
  • Our net worth has increased a bit over 6x since I heavily got into FIRE
  • My 401k is worth just under double the gross contributions
