Almost 20 and feeling lost.
Hello. I’m a college student who turns 20 in December and I’ve had a Roth IRA set up since I was 18. I don’t have a lot in it, around $7k.
I keep on seeing people my age online or even sometimes in my classes talk about their brokerage or savings account. They have huge amount in there (huge to me) like 20,30,50 thousand or more, and it makes me feel a little worse about the progress that I’ve made.
I understand that life isn’t a race, and everyone has their own path etc etc, but it’s difficult trying to keep my head down and not be envious about these people or feel like I’m behind.
I know that this isn’t the traditional boglehead post, but I just wanted to see if anyone here has had similar experiences and how they’ve dealt with them.
Thanks.
