Neat, you’ve averaged 18% annual returns for four years straight even in your retirement accounts? That’s 50% better than the S&P 500 over the same time period. With that kind of dumb luck, you should think about hitting the slots in Vegas. I wonder what sort of magical 401ks you possess that have access to funds that might have enabled this.

Kind of odd that out of all the high dollar responses you are picking on mine but you seem to be averaging returns across two points without consider impact of fluctuations in between those points and contributions during down market periods.

Here is just one account, TSP with an 80 C/20 S split.

2020: $212k
2021: $285K
2022: $374K
2023: $318K
2024: $428K
Today: $466K

You do realize that your numbers are provably impossible, right? Are you just stupid or what? The documented returns on TSP C and S funds do not concur with your alleged claims. If you’re going to fabricate information at least make it plausible.

Sure PP, I am stupid. I took the time to log into my TSP account and look up the figures for sh!ts and giggles. Keep on being jealous of my crazy, $465k TSP portfolio.

No doubt you logged in, but you most certainly lack the intelligence necessary to properly digest and report upon your results. It’s okay. We can’t all be financially savvy. I’m guessing based on your TSP balances that you’re 24, maybe 25? Well, by the time you hit 30 and have $1M, then you’ll be in a better situation to talk about others’ jealousy of your TSP portfolio.

The TSP C fund returns are 18.31 (2020), 28.6 (2021), -18.1 (2022), 26.2 (2023) and 7.1 YTD. That takes 212 to 369 without contributions (at least $82k) or matches. I don’t think this is anywhere outside the realm of possible.

Uggh. It takes 212K to 357K. Historical prices are available. Your research is sloppy and your sucks; you also conveniently ignored the blended lower returns due to the split between C and S funds. Furthermore, only on DCUM do we include our contributions to the stock market when we report on what we’ve made in the stock market. Like inheriting $10M, growing it to $10.5M and patting yourself on the back for making $10.5M in the market instead of the actual $500K. Oh DCUM!

zero trust funds or inheritance, on the contrary we support my and husbands parents with financial help. To clarify, this does not include only growth in value of the accounts, we have also contributed funds from earnings on a consistent basis.

What is your stock/bonds ratio?

About 40% stocks and 60% mutual funds (mutual funds are either target date retirement funds or stock market index funds)

PP I can’t tell if you are trolling (probably) or just insane, but seriously calm down.
