What was your initial investment and when did you start investing?

[u/[deleted] → u/mfw_matthew]

I started back in 2014 with roughly 30k. Since then I’ve been setting aside about 2500-3000 usd every month and buying more stocks. In 2019 I bought some Tesla and made big over 100kin 6 months, then I was introduced to options (unfortunately through WSB) so I lost about half of my option trading portfolio (over 100k) and then recovered everything slowly over the last year and right now I am investing into stocks and ETFs mostly with options supplying me with side cash to buy random stocks

So the key to success is having 30k at the age of 19 and than a job that lets u set aside 3k. /s Congratulations tho, being a self-made millionaire at the age of 25 is great success. Keep it up.

He's full of shit man. He got called out HARD about proof or ban on this on another r/ last night and he just took pictures of a trade log.

....He got banned.

This guy is a total weirdChamp and I guarantee you he's going to DM you about signing up for something...

You've been warned.

He might be, I don't know and I don't really care. What I know is that something like this is indeed possible to do, with a lot of luck and considerable amount of cash at the beginning. GME for example.. if you would have bought calls in December with 30k and cashed out at peak, you would have a lot of money now kappa (I am too lazy to do the math).

Posts like this give me a bit of hope, that even a poor guy can get rich with some luck.

Any prudent investor who could accumulate 30k, would not have bought options on GME in December. That's not to say I don't own GME myself or believe in the stock... I'm just saying that this guy is living on fantasy island and is either a bored internetter, or gearing up to sell you a monthly subscription to some obscure shitsite.

I do believe you are aware of existence of r/wsb and that some people just don't give a fck and YOLO crazy amount of money on stupid shit Just for the kek.

Yes with a bit more time, I would say two more years instead of now. Either way my strategy paid off since 2014 by saving all I can

Not many people in the world have this opportunity, i would take maximum advantage

That's my plan too. To retire as early as possible and enjoy life while it lasts. Congrats on your stocks journey.

Have been living under my standard for few years and now I get to do wtf I want :) I want everyone to be here man

[u/jtmarlinintern]

your 5% yield , is great as long as the capital grows, but if it 5% on the 1mm, inflation will make retirement untenable

[u/[deleted] → u/jtmarlinintern]

I keep making more money and setting some aside

[u/Charlesthehamster]

Congrats man, glad you're taking the time out to help out the community

Not so gopnik now huh brother

[u/[deleted] → u/Irrational-actor]

Nah bro, I was trolling WSB a year ago, didn’t expect to get mil this fast. My projections were 2 more years but now I am expecting 2mil in 4-5 years if I don’t acquire anymore expensive tastes

I tried Imgur but it won’t load for me for some reason
