Hi everyone, just wanted to share a milestone. (I had to add my SoFi and C1 savings manually as fidelity wouldn’t let me)

I started investing in May 2025 with a Fidelity Roth IRA and a SoFi brokerage, and it’s honestly become pretty addicting. Any extra money from my paycheck, I’ve been adding on top of what I already planned to invest.

Staying consistent can be hard, but like Charlie Munger said: “The first 100k is a bitch.” I’m definitely feeling that.

Every time I invest, I wonder if it’s all going to be worth it later or if I should enjoy a little more of my money now. I’m trying to find that balance between enjoying my 20s and building a more comfortable future. And then I start thinking about when I should even start saving for a house.

Anyway, just some random thoughts. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve already reached 40K in four months

I want to thank all my friends who have helped me along the way. Starting as a complete beginner who didn’t even know how to buy stocks, I’ve been able to achieve what I have today

After two months I did it. I can honestly admit i don’t believe this could have worked if this market wasn’t as volatile as it’s been this year but I’m grateful it has been. With that being said I officially crossed over 100k 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I got a head start from a grandparent passing , started with 38k got to 50 this morning. Now to 100k I go.

Who ever would’ve thought that two days after crossing the 50k mark I would be this close to crossing the 100k mark. Let’s see if I can cross over this week. Thanks amd , qqq weeklys micron technology, gld. Spy weekly’s. Once I cross if yall would like I’ll post every trade I made along this journey. Wish me luck.

21 F, started my investment journey in late 2024. All the money came from my part time job ($18.50/hr) that I still work during the weekends with the exception that $2k of it was given by my mom which I’m grateful for! I usually put $30 a week for my brokerage and $70 a week for my Roth, but put more during the summer. I want to learn how to do options but I’m still confused by how it works. Is really the only way for my investments to increase is to steadily add money?

I feel like I’m very behind even though I’m technically not. It’s just hard not to compare yourself on this subreddit!

Btw I stopped adding money to my investments for the past 3 months because I’m trying to save up money for my study abroad.

I’ve been working ever Sense I’ve been 14 years old full time. I work 10-12 hours a day and now I’m finally starting to show for it. I have an extremely aggressive portfolio but we will see what happens with crypto in the next few years. I’m still down some but hopefully BTC will take off soon and then I’ll be up!

My Roth IRA is 72% Oscar Health. What do you think?

Also that’s not 20% cash they are $18C Jan 2026 on Oscar Health. 😆

Should I take some gains off the table now that I’m beating the index year over year?

21 days after hitting 10k and joining this race. I have officially crossed 50k with today being one of my biggest trade days. Thanks to AMD, QQQ weekly, and SPY weekly. Next stop 100k 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥let’s goooo

Finally got to 20k total. I have around 11.5k across robinhood portfolios, then around 8.5k in my savings/checking account. I’m 20 years old right now and have no debt and want to know how to get to 50k sooner. I want to reach 50k by 21 and don’t really know how. Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve never had a job before so that’s my first thing I’m gonna do but other than that I’m a bit lost. Let me Know!

I’m really proud of this because it’s money I’ve been able to save and invest as a single mom 😊

Reached 10k about 32 days ago, personal contributions significantly slowed down. But still reached the 20k mark today! SNDK to the moon. Started investing January 2026. Hopefully this year goes well.

This is my first 250%+ , sold at the beginning of today ( 5-7-26 ) initial cost was like 18k or so. The week before this I did 5k profit and the week before that was 13k. Only trading QQQ with ORB, Bull or bearish just ridin the direction 👍🏾

I am betting big on META, MSFT, and ServiceNow at current prices. Plan to hold for about 2-5 years maybe more. Hopefully this gets me to 50k!
