It’s good to keep track of your returns to make sure your investments are at least in line with the market.

However, until you hit roughly 250k your monthly contributions will significantly outweigh any investment return on your portfolio (unless it’s a special case where one year you have massive returns)

So to go from 10k -> 25k will be achieved within a year if you invest $1250 a month a have a 0% return. If you can only afford to invest $125 a month it will take you 10 years with a 0% return.

If you can’t contribute anything to go from 10k -> 25k is a 150% gain. It will take you roughly 13.5 years assuming a 7% return. With a 7% return annualized and $100 a month you would cut that down to 8 years.

So the power of shortening the timeline isn’t outsized returns, it’s just being disciplined and investing a constant dollar amount every month.

I started with $500 about 10 years ago and it’s now at 1.5 mil 🥺🥺 best of luck to you

Congrats.You gotta keep putting money in every month.

Age?

I think you can get there shortly

But you have to be more trader-y

Unless you throw 5k into like AMD. Or throw 5k somewhere it doubles

I think itll be a while if you just sit there

However i guess thats assuming you have more than like 5 stocks

I started with $50 in December 22 plus the $100 from Fidelity for depositing that 50. I broke 1k in Feb 23, 10k in March 24, 25k in May 25, 50k in Jan 26, and 50k again the first week of this month. Broke 60k yesterday for the first time. 


I've been putting in as much as I can spare. 22-24 I was only making 30k a year or so doing an awesome job that just didn't pay well. Finally got an adult job and really upped my contributions, and got incredibly lucky some individual stocks I picked 4-10 Xed. My taxable account is up 378%, my Roth IRA is up 117 % over the last 3 years. 

Well, I did from 4k Q4 2025 to 130k Q1 2026. Sadly lost 70K in beggining of Q2 for not covering shorts, still pretty huge profit. Now parked out in safely stocks

Slop.
