My question has grown exponentially because, giving truth to your topic, the true question lies in why you made this thread at all.
I think the fact he started at 35 is kinda cool. So many people think it’s over past 30. The thread is positive.

what aggressive investment choices did you make?

I'm 100% in passive ETF equities, 80% US, 20% International (ex. real estate)

I like vanguard

Our 401K rollovers are somewhat conservative at roughly 50:50 between VWENX and WVIAX. Asset allocation between these is about 50% stock funds and 50% bond funds.

Our Roth IRAs are aggressive. Funds are: VWUAX, VSGAX, VIGAX & VMGMX. These are all stock funds and may not ever need to draw from them, so can afford to be aggressive with them.

I hope you use it to build generational wealth, so your kids don’t have to work as long as you did. Also, I hope your kids work as long as you did, because wealth should not stop them from spending their time making worthwhile contributions to society.

Not bad OP, but most of us pull 2 million after 200 days. Average income here is 3.65 mill/year.

No one here actively posting to strangers on a website is doing so out of the best interests of their heart. Every single one of us has a reason for being here communicating with people we don't know. OP stated, in response exactly that. He is wanting to share with people he has zero responsibility to. That is an understandable answer. I get that. But you had better believe that anyone posting here has some reason for doing so that the rest of us would find interesting if we knew what it was and it isn't what they are saying. People who post regularly are doing so because they are hiding something from themselves or from others, those who make threads like this are doing so because they are hiding something...OP said exactly that. I was probing. Nothing more.

Congrats op.

I know this is a bodybuilding forum, but a lot of us seem to struggle with what to do in life, and a host of other topics, I think moneymaxxing and smartly investing at an early age is something that should get a spotlight and only enhances this forum.

I hope your retirement/ whatever you decide when it comes to you me life and finances works out well

Don’t understand this. What would people be hiding from themselves if they’re sharing it here?

Hiding self hate, and insecurity are common. Inadequacy and a lack of companionship also. Lots really. One of the reasons people (IMO) post here is because we are facing the world one way but posting here in a completely different way. Not two faced...more like, our other side is showing.

OP: I am definitely not trying to hijack your thread. I will back out. Peace bro.

Aren't you a big-4 accounting/consulting wagecuck? Enjoy spending your prime years in a cubicle. Before you settle for your beta-white BF that you can show off to your other Asian female corporate wagecuck loser girlfriends.

Good job OP. My goal is 2 million by 54 then retirement at that age.

Its really hard being disciplined and dedicated when 99% of my peers are flexing hard with brand new trucks, 4-wheelers, boats, etc. all the time but I know in the long run it'll be worth it.
