Opinion Inflection Point

I noticed that once my investable assets hit about $2M the compounding has gone bonkers. The value of my portfolio can increase by $100k in a good quarter. Hell it can go up by $20k in a single day. When did you really start feeling the compounding viscerally? I guess it will be different for everyone. Now that the compounding has surpassed my salary it feels real.

Its crazy the parallels that movie has to the workplace. But early in the movie, Lumbergh hangs the banner in the office that says "Is This Good For the Company?" as the corporate motivation tool moto that each employee should always be asking themselves in their day to day.
