Well another year in the books and another year of growth for my nestegg. Overall my nestegg grew by over $80,000 this year and topped the half-million mark in April.

My investments outperformed the SP500 pretty handedly this year with my nestegg investments besting the SP500 by almost 6% and my individual stock accounts besting it by almost 13% which is excellent – especially in a flat year like 2015. **note earlier version of this post incorrectly listed SP500 return without dividends

Another very positive thing is that I contributed $47,500 to my nestegg this year which is an all-time record for me as well. This is actually a little surprising for me given all of the expenses we had this year with a new baby and being in the middle of building our dream home. I definitely have $50,000 in my sites for next year – which is also what I said last year, but I still have the looming house hanging over my head so am still hanging onto a large cash cushion for surprises.
