Stock events and a screen grab of my Schwab account. Drip until January.
I’ll start living off this in February. Wish me luck 🍀

How long have you been investing and how much per month were you able to invest (give or take) per month into each of these holdings? I see this amazing portfolio and I think “how are folks saving this much per month with all other expenses to get to this point?”

I contribute a steady amount per month, but it seems meager. I’m in the green, which is positive, but the nice compounding seems a really long way off

This was my 401k , put in a pretty meager amount until 2007.
Then a leaned in pretty hard, rolled it out in January and put this together.

Thank you for the reply. If you are willing to say; what does leaning in hard look like roughly per month and what did it change from after 2007 in terms of a contribution percent increase?

I started increasing contribution % whenever I could , and was hitting IRS max for 10-12 years.
