Index Funds
In the figure below you can see my index fund value as of 1. October 2020.

Income, Expenses And How Much I Can Withdraw According To The 4%-rule
- The figure above shows the connection between my income (orange), expenses (blue) and monthly FI money according to the 4% rule
- As a result I will become financial independent when the blue and red line crosses each other.
- If I quit my job today and never took a paid job again - my monthly FI money would pay out $1,338 every month for the rest of my life
It’s motivating to see that I can safely withdraw $1,338 every month for the rest of my life.
I will do everything I can to raise this dollar amount in the future.
As you all know my goal is to save $500.000 USD.
This means my monthly FI money goal is $1,667 USD each month. I’m over 1/2 to my goal and it feels great!
Recently I wrote a detailed post on how I will reach a $500.000 net worth in only 12 months!

Mortgage
We own an apartment 50/50 that has a total value of $547,000. That means my share is $273,500.
While this sounds good, my share of the mortgage is $226,574
The interest rate on the mortgage is 1,40 %.
Pension
My current pension is $59,215.
I recently found out that I had a pension plan in a job I had as a teenager as well. Pension is a really iliquid asset class, because I can't withdraw the amount before I'm 62 years old.
Student loan
After nine years with different studies I got $53,129 in student loans.
In Norway the university has no fees, so this is a loan covering basic living expenses while you're at the studies.
The interest rate is 1.39 %.
I'm not paying anything on this loan at the moment.
Total Net Worth
- Index Funds: $401,509

I challenge you to retire from your day job when you reach your goal of $500K savings. I have an unfortunate feeling that you wont and will work beyond that in the same company or a different big company. But prove me wrong, and I will follow your foot-steps 🙂
Challenge me all you want. I don’t know how I will do it yet. When the right time comes I will retire 🙂
Did you take out another stock loan?
Your invested funds grew more than $50.000 from July-Oct… 🙂
With an avg income of $8.072/month that’s pretty impressive 😛
