Finally hit a milestone of 100k invested!
Took 4 years and 1 month.
Anticipating 200k by Feb/Mar 2026.
Charlie Munger once said ā'It's a b----, but you gotta do it': Charlie Munger says that your first $100K is the toughest to earn ā but most crucial for building wealth.ā
Lifestyle creep. You donāt even notice itānew car here, nicer apartment there, upgraded everything. Suddenly, your raises are gone and your investments are starving.

As a gamecock fan I 100% agree. It sucks the best player on the team got hurt but this is football. No launch, no target of the head, no crown of the helmet. This is a clean football play. The game has gotten a bit soft
Pretty crazy: just $160 a month for 40 years can turn into over $1 million. š¤Æ
Thatās only $76,800 out of pocket⦠the other $935K? Thatās compound interest doing what it does best. š
Start early. Stay consistent. Let time and math do the magic.

Not surprising and kind of terrifying. We are going to have a legitimate retirement crisis in the next 15ā20 years. Americans are gonna be working longer in life than they ever have it any other time in human history.
Why this is very impressive⦠there were only 16 teams in MLB. He had the best players in the league around him. All of the best players in the world were not allowed to go play in MLB yet. There was no playoff. Win the division and you are in the WS. There was no free agency.
Absolutely. No shot theyāre letting Ozzie walk at $7M. Thatās highway robbery for what he brings. Easiest decision the Braves front office will make all winter.
Wild how you can have a $4M net worth and still get treated like you need a co-signer for a Netflix subscription šš³
Just a reminder: Credit scores ā wealth. The system wasnāt built to recognize real assetsāit was built to judge how well you play their game.
That was so fun we did it again today!
Dave Ramsey definitely would not approve thisā¦. š„¶š„¶š„¶

Attending the @ABCA1945 definitely the best baseball professional development decision I've ever made as a coach. Great to meet and learn from all these great minds. Cannot wait for Dallas 2019. Looking forward to implementing new stuff in our program.
We live in such a microwave society where people want results and want them now. Most people neglect to realize it takes 10 years of early mornings and late nights, sacrifices and long work weeks to be an overnight success.
I bring home about $5000/month most months. I have a great life. Live in a 500k home, drive a 4x4 truck, have a perfect dog and a job that I absolutely love. It can be done.
I also contribute $1893/month to my 401k and $95 to an HSA. Which really cuts down take home pay.
