Crossed 2 CR and 2.5 CR in the same year
Hi everyone, The year end is here. It was a great year for my FIRE journey and I thought I'll share an update with you all. With few days left in 2023, I've crossed 2.65 CR in net worth after touching 2 CR in May this year. Here's the breakup: Direct shares: 1.7 CR (this was the major driver of growth), ELSS: 0.06 CR, Company shares: 0.06 CR, Real Estate: 0.4 CR (while it is between 42-45 now, keeping this unchanged from May), EPF: 0.34 CR (interest for last year kicked in), NPS: 0.06 CR (investing because I'm in 30% bracket, getting 14.8% xirr here), SGB: 0.03 CR The driver for growth has been a high saving rate. In 2023, i've added 29.5 lakhs in equity, about 2.5 lakhs every month. 6 lakhs in company shares (US listed). The EPF and NPS savings are on top of this. My target was to save 36 lakhs in equity overall, and it's done! Targeting the same for next year. I'm aiming to cross 2 CR in equity before July 24. Another change I did this year is that I've moved away from active advisory. I get the stock ideas from Twitter discussions, analyse them fundamentally and take bets based on the charts. I'm quite confident of my charting skills with max drawdown of 25-30% but upside of multiple x. I could capture 2-3 2x this year with sizable investment in them. I got this confidence after i could take my wife's account from 11 lakhs to 20 lakhs in about 2 years. While the next year can be a huge bull run if BJP wins, I'm still trying to diversify. I'm planning to add a real estate of about 75 lakhs by paying 10%. This will help me leverage as well. The rental yield is the property is approx 5% and calculations show that I'll have to only pay 40-45% of the EMI and rest will be covered through rent. This should bring my equity exposure down from the current 65% to less than 50%. In this I'm trying to diversify and leverage while not denting my current equity corpus. Suggestions welcome to make this FIRE journey better! Thanks!
