| My first half was messy due to some business moves then the decline, so it’s hard to calculate, but growth was 14% June-Dec. or about a $1.5 M increase. |
That’s not pathetic! You’re in the black. Keep going! |
| Keep in mind the dollar is down 10% and will likely plummet further when Trump gets his Fed pick. So at a global level your increased net worth isn’t necessarily leading to higher purchasing power. |
And then,.depending on the investment they expect you to pay taxes on the "gains" at some point. Good scam they have going there. |
| Regular w-2 family. NW up 29%—19.9% if you include real estate. Tripled since 2020 to $6 million. Such a wild ride. |
| 840k to 1.1, finally crossed 7 figures at age 30 |
|
Stock market was up 15%, but everyone here is up 30%.
Must have shorted the market at the beginning of the year and then went "all in" on international small value stocks. Brilliant! |
A lot is from contributions so not 100% growth |
| Give me some stock tips! I’m the pathetic poster from before. I have a 403b and a Roth with Vanguard. In another year and a half, I’ll be fine paying for my kid’s college and will have a lot more to put in my retirement. I’ve got 100% VTSAX in the 403b and 100% VOO in the Roth. |
| My net worth (excluding home equity and 529 plans) grew 17.5% year over year, so most of it was market gains, and the rest was brute savings. |
You are doing exactly the right thing (eventually consider adding some VXUS). Keep it up. |
Same. |
What's your allocation? I'm basically even with the market plus savings. What am I doing wrong? |
Thanks! I’m looking forward to my last tuition payment next year so I can start really investing. |
I think you are doing the right thing. Always remember that "slow and steady" is the way to invest. |
