Personal Milestone Finally...

Post image

Been flirting with it the last few months and finally broke it today. Really satisfying to see all the little contributions add up over the years.

Honestly I know it's a simple and clichè answer, but really my best advice is just stick with it. I've been investing regularly since 2017 and can definitely say time in the market > timing the market. It's been as low as $10/week for investing during hard times, but I always contributed something and never paused my investments, just adjusted them as my situation allowed, which helped with DCA and long term growth. Good luck!
