@retired made a recent post about thr first 100k invested and how its the hardest. I want to piggy back off that: One of the craziest things about investing is how different the journey looks as your portfolio grows. From age 22 to 24, I spent 3 years saving aggressively to reach my first $100,000 invested. Every dollar came from working, budgeting, and consistently investing. It felt like a huge milestone at the time because getting to that first $100k took real sacrifice and discipline. Fast forward to today at 32, I now have kids, way more expenses, saving less, and my portfolio has gained over $101,000 in just the first 5 months of the year from market returns alone. It took me 3 years of saving and investing to earn my first $100k. Now the market has generated that same amount in less than half a year. That's the power of compounding. The early years feel slow because you're building the foundation. But eventually your money starts working harder than you do. The first $100k was by far the hardest. Every milestone since then has come faster. Keep investing. Keep buying. Keep staying the course. The results can be pretty amazing when you give compounding enough time.
