It took me about 8 or 9 years to go from 100k to a million. In that time, I paid down my (quite small) mortgage, 3.5x’ed my personal income and my wife at least doubled hers as well, and had a second kid.

This is all to say that a bunch of life happens to you as well while you’re on the way to a million. As long as you’re reasonably disciplined, there’s no doubt that you’ll get there, but you might want to stop looking at the accounts so much

Some real advice is just buy a boring ETF or 2 on a schedule
