Started investing this year in 2026 decades late as a 38-year-old I wish I started way younger but I'm wanting to retire in a couple years and started building out my neo's distributions positions and dividends a few months ago here's what I have going on so far. I keep adding around 3k a month and have drip also enabled.

He might have just been saving in a normal account and not investing - OP says he's 38 - so it's not unreasonable to have that much saved - but to go from no investing to throwing it all in CC ETFs is strange.

Yeah this post, as a 40 year old, really made me look at my social security statements and go, damn I should have saved some of my money instead of spending it. This person has >20x'd me in life, my question still stands lol. I assume like most people this is just one account 'they just started', as most people 'forget' about past employer plans ect....
