I wanted to wait until the end of the year to post this, but I’m too excited today. I reached the 50K portfolio goal,I set for myself for 2026! 🎉 What you don’t see behind this number is everything that happened this year. I got laid off, went through multiple interviews, landed a new job, and ultimately moved back in with my family because the commute from where I lived was just too much. Everything changed at once, and I’ll be honest, some days it’s been really hard to even get out of bed with the anxiety and depression that came with all the uncertainty. As a single-income person in my 30s, it’s been tough. Moving home has sometimes felt like I’m taking steps backwards, but I’m trying to see it as an opportunity to stabilize, save aggressively, and build toward my future. Five years ago, I didn’t understand ETFs or investing. I learned through Blossom, countless YouTube videos, and of course @joyeeyang my go-to is XEQT btw! For anyone just starting out, or feeling like they started later than they should have, remember: everyone is on their own journey. You don’t see the layoffs, sacrifices, family situations, setbacks, and adjustments behind someone’s portfolio. If you’re showing up and investing whatever you can, that is enough. ❤️ I’m usually so focused on what’s next that I forget to acknowledge how far I’ve come. So today, I’m letting myself be proud. $50K. Next chapter: Road to $100K.🚀

All good in your 30s, you have so much time to make it back. but when it happens in your mid 50s, it’s not so easy to be so positive about this…

Moving home is nothing to be ashamed of. That is what family is for.
