Looking for a reality check and some inspiration.
I always had the aspiration of hitting the infamous seven digit portfolio by 40, and now I’ve done it at 39 ahead of schedule. I’m extremely thankful and happy, but wondering what happens next.
• How did your net worth trajectory look afterward?
• Did you stay the course or shift strategies?
• What would you tell your 40‑year‑old self?
I’m thinking for my next goal: to have an inflation corrected $2.5M, which will be all I need to retire. I’m hoping to achieve that in the next 10 years. Would love to overshoot that goal though.
