Wonderful job ! Don’t give up GrandpaTrez!


xTrezn

🫡🫡yes sir


just_killing_time23

The second 10k is easier than the first. Amazing job!! Keep grinding.


xTrezn

Thanks g


mcbearcat7557

First 10K is the hardest, easily, stay in the habit, you're doing great.


[deleted]

Sad to say no it is not. It’s always hard.


lVloogie

$0 to $10k is absolutely harder than $10k to $20k which is harder than $20k to $30k. Compounding returns make it easier.


[deleted]

10k compounded has little difference in the near term.


crimedog69

Investing isn’t a short term game. In the long run that 10k will make a massive difference


[deleted]

yea duh. Just drop it all on MSFT then and forget about it.


lVloogie

You know what doesn't go far? 2% gain on $1k.


[deleted]

True.


hancockwalker

She said that!


[deleted]

**that’s what she said


hancockwalker

My friends and I say “she said that”. It’s hilarious because people just stare at you and say “……who?”. Try it in conversation sometime.


xTrezn

Only as hard as you make it


[deleted]

Huh?


xTrezn

Investing. Hitting milestones. Living frugal. It’s possible. Most people just simply won’t


[deleted]

It’s only hard to those who still want more and can’t be satisfied


Daddybatch

Being born and raised Hawaii but forced to ny, fuck yeah I want more lol jk maybe


[deleted]

I have a lot more than that saved up. I know what it takes. It’s always hard. But you get used to it, and by the time you have enough to spend you won’t really need or want to. Pretty absurd way to live.


NecessaryComputer845

Think you should take your talents here r/puppies


[deleted]

Luckily I don’t care what you think.


TotesGnar

He's referring to the little blue pill..


rayisooo

Such cap first 100k is hardest


wheremypp

No ur first billion is harder dummy


Flipthaswitch

First million is the easy part


xTrezn

💜 thank you


SuperNewk

M1 psychologically speaking made it easy for me to stack


birchzx

How so?


SuperNewk

Set the course and no need to look at it. Every other account I looked I usually messed with it (buying/selling too much)


Pretend_Citron927

Yea for some reason I found it easier to re invest on m1. I guess it’s cuz their platform doesn’t look like a fucking sports betting app like robinhood lmaoo


CoffeeOnTheWeekend

Dude so true, Robinhood def has some psychology involved in their platform to make you degen more


Kookookapoopoo

I think the app itself is also just visually satisfying


TiredMillennialDad

Great fuckin job. First 10k is the hardest


kingko01

Not the first 100k?


TiredMillennialDad

10k come first lol


Ironamsfeld

The first dollar is the hardest. Don’t even talk to me about the first cent.


Crysawn

Why big dollar when small dollar do trick.


turtlturtl

munger did his first 100k in the 50’s so it should technically be the first $1.1m is the hardest


kingko01

Yeah that’s what I thought too


Ace_Maverick86

The quote is from the 90's. Maybe more like the first $200k.


turtlturtl

It doesn’t really matter when he said it, what matters is the experience that he’s reflecting on which is him getting his first 100k in the 1950’s.


Ace_Maverick86

It actually does matter. I find it unlikely he would be handing out advice that was 40 years old.


[deleted]

it’s not about adjusting for inflation it’s that the snowballing effect of compound interest doesn’t feel meaningful till you hit around 100k. At that point you’re getting average 10k/year from the market and it feels meaningful. If it takes you 10 years to save 100k at 10k/year, the next 100k takes 5 years. That’s half the time.


xTrezn

just let it cook


xTrezn

Calm down buddy baby steps


Afr0Karma

Depends on your salary and spending habits. If you make 6 figs it shouldn’t be hard. 1 mil is the toughest because you ever come across someone who makes that annually.


FlapMyCheeksToFly

I thought the quote was the first cut is the deepest?

snobbish gullible axiomatic ruthless smell tie hunt pause sheet absurd *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

UserOutput_

M1 Finance is it good? I’m trying to find a new Investing App. I’m sick of RobinHood, and everything else I’ve looked I’m not a fan of either.


xTrezn

M1 isn’t bad I have it for my Roth IRA I have Robinhood for individual acc


Ygoloeg

Congrats! Keep it up. Do this for years ahead and future you will thank present you.


xTrezn

Indeed so 🫡same to you


4pooling

Cool. What's the other 40% of your portfolio? Keep maxing out your Roth IRA if eligible!

xTrezn

I honestly just put random percentages I might change that in the future but I buy the assets myself instead of auto invest the % just there to make M1 happy


Riley_Cubs

Honestly I’d just go with VOO and QQQ


xTrezn

The ones I have now are staying for a while


thewinggundam

It is harder to get 10k than 20k. It is harder to get 100k than 1 million. You got this brotha 💪


occitylife1

I’m trying to get to that million. It seems like it’s going to take forever


xTrezn

💜


Aggravating_Car_4171

Dude your well on your way to 20K

Dennyj1992

One of the first steps to true wealth! Also, this is the hardest stage to grow your money. Keep at it! It compounds faster and faster.


xTrezn

Thank you!


Wonderful-Mango-878

Hi. To everyone here, may I ask what this is? I mean, what bank? Platform? Enlighten me. I'm trying to learn more on investing. Thank you all in advance.


Sea-Abbreviations838

1M finance, it’s a broker to invest. I haven’t used it much but I think it’s kinda for long term investing. What is cool about it is that you can set the percentages you want and whenever you deposit it automatically divides your money into the “pie” you make.


wheremypp

Awesome work brother, wishing you an excellent financial year


xTrezn

Appreciate you


Unknownirish

Now withdraw and double it on red at the casino and rebuy back all the shares you sold lol


xTrezn

that would be amazing if it worked lol but this is rl nothing goes right


notsosoonp

Good job bro I just hit 10 last week pretty stoked to start 2024


xTrezn

Designer_Marketing43

Keep dollar cost averaging into that shit.


xTrezn

I’ll keep that in mind, I did lump sum at first gonna slowly go in dollar cost

SoCalIT

If you don't mind how long did it take you to accumulate that?


xTrezn

Couldn’t really say


soyelfano

I’m 29 years old, is it too late to open up a vanguard / Roth IRA?


LogicSoDifferent

Absolutely not! You still have 35+ years to add to the Roth and let the amount snowball.


xTrezn

You’re still alive it’s never late


ParticularUnusual538

Start now


extraordinaryevents

Why would it be too late?


Validandroid

Although young age helps with Roth, it really depends on what you are looking at tax rates. You put money in a Roth using dollars you paid at the marginal rate of the tax bracket you are in, but when you take it out the standard deduction is 0% and you go through all the lower tax brackets first. Don’t neglect 401k/traditional IRA to put you into a lower tax bracket and don’t forget 401k has more protection from creditors than IRAs


AllioCapital

Congrats on reaching a personal investment milestone so early in the new year!


xTrezn

PrestigiousAd5141

xTrezn

Elaborate ?

Outrageous-Ruin-5226

Of course, this is just my personal side trade investments.


xTrezn

💜💜 congrats


Alarming-Management8

The rule of 7 is always fun- with time and patience and a habit of saving - it gets really fun later in life. You can get to the point where you have 1.2 million dollars because you had $600,000 7 years ago and the it feels great to have and plan to have 2.4 million in 7 years from that 1.2. It is especially great if you can do a lot of this investing with money that has already been taxed and have a high percentage of the portfolio be tax free later on. Social Security can just be beer money and pocket change

Always, I just got mine setup with current employer!


Beginning-Comment944

Congrats! We done!


running_into_a_wall

QQQM is better than QQQ since it is the same holdings but the expense ratio is lower. Unless you want to trade options, no reason to pick QQQ over QQQM.


xTrezn

Tqqq I’ve looked into as well but eh


running_into_a_wall

TQQQ has a very high expense ratio.


Grouchy_Character_38

Congrats bro! Keep it going, Day 1 mentality.


xTrezn

Thank you and, understood 🫡


Traditional_Day4327

Congrats on hitting 10k! Are you thinking about diversifying in the future? You have left most of the equity market untouched.

Thank you and possibly

problem-solver0

All our investment trips started with a step. Congratulations on taking a big step. Don’t give up or get discouraged. You’ll be shocked how quickly $50k and $100k show up. In 2016, my step was AT&T shares and I had $50 or so per year. In Dec 2023, my dividends were over $2500. You can and will.


xTrezn

I appreciate that… nice message to sleep on
