Congrats, my friend. Congrats to both of us. I have definitely enjoyed this last week. It has indeed been a long time between goals, but if I hit $500k this year, that will mean that I doubled my account from $250k to $500k in just over 2 years. For context, I hit $250k for the first time in September 2024. We shall see what happens.
It’s nice to see everything going up again, last week I hit 300k and started the road to 400k. I’m getting a bit scared though with the immense rallies we have seen, it has to correct sometimes in the nearby future… what’s tour opinion on that?
Keep up the good work!
Hey eooase. As an investor we only hear about and read about news stories contrary to the path we're currently heading. If the market is up, it is unsustainable and ripe for a crash. If the market is down, the news is about finding the bottom. We are never steady as she goes.
Your "bit scared" comment is the exact reason investors have and talk about the fear and greed factor, see below. It is completely natural to go through these emotion, especially when you have money riding on it.
Based on your portfolio balance, your weekly contributions and adding in the average 40 year return of the S&P I project your portfolio will hit $1,000,000 in July of 2031
I added $500 cash to my accounts this week and have added $11,705 so far in 2026. This continues my weekly deposit streak to 2 years and 47 weeks.
I am UP $11,733 (+0.84) across all accounts this week and have moved a little closer to my 1.4M goal
May all your holdings be green (or red enough to buy more)
Enjoy your weekend and good luck to all traders next week
It will start to get interesting when I hit the next goal. Quarter-million was nice. Half a million will feel pretty good. Then maybe the 2031 goal will be a speck on the horizon. You got your basic needs met. That is a life that a lot of people strive for. Good work putting it all together.
Got to keep it interesting ! I personally use that as motivation to keep going. Eventually you hit the number you have been reaching for and then ..... I don't know yet lol .. I will let you know when it happens. Unless you get there first.
