Portfolio Value Reaches $50,000!



I never thought I'd ever write that title, especially if you asked me 22 months ago.  But just yesterday I bout 56 shares of KMI which pushed my total portfolio value to more than $50,000! 

That put's me half way to my first $100,000, which most people say is the hardest.  I believe it now.  I've seen the money that I socked away start to trickle back to me in dividends and capital gains.  Once I get to the magical 100k mark the journey to 200k will be supported by that raging inferno. 

A short update after a long long pause but I feel good.

    Congrats on the 50k milestone. I'm sure 100k will come much quicker now that you have more dividends coming in. Also, nice grab on KMI shares while prices are down. I recently added to mine as well. Take care!

      AAI Thank you! I was pretty excited about this achievement. I've still got a ways to go but it's nice to hit these milestones.

      I think KMI is a great pick up right now and will add to both of our annual dividen income.

      Thanks for stopping by and dropping such kind words.

    Kechi,

    Congrats on hitting $50k! I've been trying to comment on here, but find that it's a bit more difficult for non-blogger users.

    Here's something you might want to try, I found this on AAI website:

    From writing2reality: " love to comment and discuss the posts of many of you, however, you MUST change your settings to allow those of us without blogger to comment. How you ask? Make sure you allow people to "comment as" a Name/URL. Look below where you see the drop down here on AAI's page. See the Name/URL? Make sure your site allows this. "

    I just got across your blog.
    I agree 100k is the hardest! And big Congrats on your milestone!
    I am at 70k mark in my combined accounts speeding to 100k myself, so it is nice to see other investors undergoing the same path. It is motivating me to see where others are and push myself more. So thanks for sharing your achievements!

    Hi Martin,

    You're right! I love to read blogs by MMM and Dividend Mantra, but it is also nice to read about people in a similar situation portfolio wise. It really helps to see that you're not alone on the journey. I still remember when my portfolio was at $2,000 and thinking how far I have to go. Now I'm at $50,000 and it still seems like an upward battle.

    Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my posts. Hopefully I can get to posting more regularly.
