    You’ve probably heard the saying “the first $100,000 is the hardest but did you know that once you amass a $100,000 investment portfolio you’re actually ⅓ of the way to surpassing the $1,000,000 mark? That’s right, reaching that $100,000 milestone is a bigger deal than you’d think. Let’s take a look at the math and see exactly why that is. Stay tuned because this is great news for your future.

      The market is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds. that’s what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 30% capital growth minus dividends.

    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

Based on my current savings rate of about 28k per year and compound interest, I should reach 200k by the end of 2026. My biggest goal is to retire in my mid to late 30s with a house fully paid off and around 500k invested. I really, REALLY do not wanna slave my life away and be forced to work until I’m 65. The fact that most of us work 40+ hours per week for 45+ years is insane to me, and in my opinion wasteful of our one short life. It’s the exact reason why I’m so frugal and mindful of my finances.

    If you have high income and you put away 100k every 3 years then it will be much smaller of a fraction. Less than 1/5 in this scenario. But the good news is that your investment rate is going to boost your base like crazy. After 16 years you’ll be around 1 million. More than twice as fast. 36 years will see you at 5 million.

But if you contribute $1k/month (where I am almost at), it takes 6.45 years to get to $100k, and 26.07 years to get to $1 mil, which is about the 1/4 you are saying. And as you said, if you contribute even higher, the fraction of the journey that $100k accounts for is even smaller.

    the stock market was negative 27% of the last 94 years. This simple model is not reality. A 50% haircut like 1999 sets you back decades.Then you get another 50% haircut in 2008. Each 50% loss requires a 100% gain to get back to break-even.

      Kpads got it right when you get a raise its a chance to increase your wealth by investing or saving your money . 95 percent of people get a raise they go buy toys and things they don't need. Years later the toys are broken and they missed their best chance at building wealth. Don't be the 95 percent.

    This video offers a great perspective on how compound interest builds wealth over time. The breakdown of how much money comes from contributions versus interest at different stages is particularly insightful. It motivates me to start investing early!
    One question I have is about reaching the million-dollar mark sooner. The video mentions a few factors besides math that can accelerate growth. Can you elaborate on some specific strategies to potentially reach that goal faster?
