40yo. Immigrant nurse. I did it
Came to the US exactly 20 years ago. Graduated with a nursing degree. Worked my butts off, obtained citizenship, saved and put everything into stocks, mostly sp500.
The morning my account hit that magic number, I just felt...normal, like it's expected. My life quality isn't suddenly increased. I still drive the same Honda Accord, buy the same discounted coffee at work, pack my own lunch. If i returned to 20 years ago and told myself that one day I would be a millionaire in America, and it feel so normal, I wouldn't believe myself either.
