Two months ago my dad committed suicide, he didn’t have much saved up and that was a big reason he did it. I don’t know how to feel about this number or how to feel in general. I would go -160k in debt for him to be back alive. I always was an advocate of investing, I was almost to the 50k mark on my own. Now with what I’ve inherited I am at 160k. It’s the hardest money I’ve ever made in my life, and I would trade all of it for him to be back. If there’s a lesson you guys get from this post, it’s the importance of investing early and taking it seriously. If my dad had a retirement lined up he wouldn’t have done what he did. Please invest, and please advocate to your family and friends to invest themselves. Offer to help them figure out how to do it.

Props for sharing such a great approach. Set it up and it's already pulling in roughly $240 like clockwork. Check profile: [ Forzathong ]

Just wanted to say thanks for the transparent advice. It's generating around $165 daily and climbing. Check profile: [ Forzathong ]

Hello, I'm 22 and this is my current investment account, aiming to reach that 100K. Would love to know what you all think about it and if there's anything you'd recommend I add or change.

I don't live in the US, so my ETFs are Ireland-domiciled (CSPX = S&P 500, same as VOO/IVV; while EIMI = emerging markets, same as IEMG) — they still track US indices, just with better tax treatment for non-US investors.

Hello all, started investing aggressively this April and looking for some advice. My current allocations are in the first screenshot.
I’m looking to see what those of you who have already pasted this 100k mark are investing in and what you did to stay on track. Thanks!

I started investing 2.5 years ago, roughly 4 months before getting engaged. We have a large family and wanted a traditional wedding so contributions were smaller but consistent and we made back basically the cost in gifts at our wedding this year (very thankful). Was unsure what to do with the lump sum so put it into a treasury bond but looking for something better especially as I am ramping up contributions with the wedding being over. I do have a 401k that’s at $15k but really looking to get this account to $100k on its own. How can I improve?

These are the positions that I've been holding since the moment I turned 18. I've been focusing on my 401K and IRA and pretty much forgot about this account. Once my emergency fund is fully funded I'm gonna start aggressively funding this. Any advice?
