Well another close to another year and more nestegg growth – though not quite as spectacular as 2013. Overall my investment performance trailed the SP500 slightly this year, but after last year’s insane outperformance I can’t be too sad.

One thing I am proud of is that I contributed the most I ever have to my retirement accounts in a single year by a significant margin. It’s sort of funny how writing out a check for $131,000 for some land would give me the financial freedom to start concentrating on my retirement accounts again. This year I contributed $43,456 to my nestegg, which is nearly $17k better than last year and $13k better than my previous best year (2008).

Going into 2015 I will be building a house, but my goal is to try to contribute $50k to my nestegg.
