Follow me and let me know when I post to myself only 😂

Hey all, new to this sub but I've always had a personal goal to reach 1 million by 30 and I'm glad to of found likeminded people that share the same goal. I am currently 25.

Currently net worth of around 350k. 15k in a HYSA, 300k in robinhood, the rest in an HSA and Roth 401k. 80% VOO, 20% VTI.

330k home with 10k of equity.

Salary varies from at least 120k to at most 200k.

Currently house hacking and the mortgage is covered except for $500/mo which is my responsibility. No car payment.

Am I on track to hit 1m?

This channel has been around for like 2 months, and i offer an additional video after purchase if you pay $50

Hit $108k today.I’m 25, and my goal is to reach $1M before I turn 30. So technically I’m 10% of the way there, which feels good for a day... but honestly it doesn’t feel life-changing yet.I’m still living pretty much the same. Same routines, same mindset, same focus. No crazy celebration, no pretending I’ve made it. Just one more reminder that small moves stack up if you stay in the game long enough.I know $100k isn’t huge in here, but it’s the first number that’s made the bigger goal feel real to me.For the people who hit their first six figures young, did you treat it like a milestone, or just keep your head down and keep building?Welcome like minded people to exchange and learn together.

The title says it all! Finally reached $600k Net Worth! I have been investing since 2018 and it has been a crazy journey. Like everyone else here, I want to get that Millionaire Milestone.

Here’s the Net Worth breakdown:

Dividend Portfolio- $365k

1 Bitcoin- $76k

Roths- $95k

Growth Portfolio (QQQM)- $6.5k (New project!)

HYSA- $37k

Ask me anything and any other advice?

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.

I’ve been working since I could at 16, driven by my want for stuff and the money my parents didn’t have for it. Thank god I’ve let that go. Since then I have tried to live as frugally as possible but lifestyle creep is real. Now as a 41f single mom I feel so happy and free. No I can’t quit my job but I’m not desperate for it like I’ve been in the past. Also couldn’t have made it without the support of my family who I have lived with at various points in my life for free.

When something like the Strait of Hormuz gets disrupted, the impact spreads everywhere.

This isn’t a narrow event.

~20M barrels per day normally pass through that route

~25% of global oil shipped by sea

~20% of LNG trade

There is no real replacement capacity. Pipelines can only reroute a fraction of that volume.

That’s why even partial disruption creates pricing pressure.

But not every company experiences that the same way.

For airlines or logistics → higher costs

For fuel-linked revenue models → higher topline potential

NXXT fits into the second category.

Because the business is tied to fuel delivery, revenue is sensitive to price per gallon.

Same volume, different environment:

28M gallons

$2.90 → $81.2M

$4.13 → $115.64M

That’s +$34M in revenue potential without growth assumptions.

Now add fundamentals:

2025 revenue: $81.8M (+195% YoY)

Adjusted EBITDA: $17.1M

And a new development

NeutronX partnership unlocking access to federal energy and infrastructure contracts, with a pipeline estimated at $1.3B–$2.2B

Plus the broader US advantage:

fracking-driven production

net exporter status

stronger positioning during global supply shocks

That combination makes the current setup very different from previous cycles.

My 20 years in the stock market haven't been smooth sailing, but my beliefs have never wavered. I've never become arrogant because of my accumulated wealth; instead, I calmly analyze and consider how to maximize my profits day after day.

(A respectable +100K YTD profit) In order to reach my $2 million retirement plan, I decided to join you in this sprint and share my simple portfolio for making profits in small-cap stocks, helping you achieve your long-awaited breakthrough!

Pic 1: Prioritize finding stocks that have already attracted capital attention, such as those that have entered the top gainers list, have seen a surge in trading volume, and have broken through key moving averages. When the price consistently remains above its moving averages accompanied by increasing volume, it signals that buying pressure is entering the market. If a stock breaks through a resistance level after consolidating at a high level, it is often a signal that the trend is accelerating.

Pic 2: A good entry signal is when the price breaks through the platform, retraces to confirm support, and stabilizes at the key level. If the price retraces with reduced volume and then surges again with increased volume, it indicates that funds are still driving the trend. I would choose to enter the market in batches while controlling the risks.

Pic 3: Phased accumulation of positions. Start with a small position to test the waters, then add to the position once the trend is confirmed, and further increase the position size if the trend continues. This allows you to capitalize on upward trends while keeping risks within an acceptable range. If the price falls below key support levels, you can decisively cut your losses.

Summary: Success stems not from a single stroke of trading luck, but from self-discipline, patience, and the consistent, repeated execution of the correct processes over time.

Let's keep moving forward! 🥂

I consistently adhere to a relatively conservative strategy, which has enabled me to achieve sustained profitability. The core philosophy of this strategy is quite simple: through a combination of position sizing, diversification, trend following, and fundamental analysis, I prudently select high-quality individual stocks or ETFs. This approach not only helps me effectively weather the impact of severe market volatility but also allows me to precisely capture growth opportunities.

If you are interested in learning more about my approachYou can send me a private message.I am happy to share my investment strategy with you free of charge. However, I cannot guarantee whether or not it will be suitable for your specific circumstances; I simply hope that you will consider it as a rational reference point.

Because I've received many messages asking about strategies, I'm a bit overwhelmed with replies. If you haven't received the sharing yet, please wait a little longer, as I'm sharing it for free with so many people. If you haven't received it yet, please don't accuse me of being a scammer; I will send it to you. I hope you understand.

I ve been in this line of work for many years rising early and staying late, staring at screens day in and day out, trying to capture every single market fluctuation

along the way, I ve experimented with all sorts of strategies. some worked, others didn t. by now, I no longer even obsess over finding that so called "perfect entry pattern"

recently, I ve reached a new state of mind: I feel I no longer need to grind away as relentlessly as I used to. so, I ve decided to step away for a while. no more waking up at the crack of dawn just to stare at candlestick charts all day long

to be honest, it feels a bit strange. you get so accustomed to that daily "grind" that when you suddenly stop, it almost feels surreal

I m not saying I m hanging up my gloves for good and giving up trading entirely, it s just that, for the time being, I ve chosen to reclaim my time for myself rather than devoting it to those charts

This is my first post here, and it finally felt worth posting now that I’ve hit my first $100k. I’m a 31 year old French guy, and it feels like a real milestone and the first serious step toward the bigger goal: $1M in the next 5 years.

My bet is pretty simple: semiconductors and AI infrastructure will be one of the best places to be over the next few years, so I decided to focus almost entirely on that space.

I know a lot of people will say diversification is key, and for reducing risk, that’s true. But it also lowers upside. So I made a conscious decision to stay highly concentrated.

I screened for companies with:

• strong moat
• high margins
• solid ROIC
• strong growth
• real importance in the AI stack

After way too many hours reading filings, analyst notes, investor decks and listening to earnings calls, these are the 5 names I landed on:

• Nvidia: still the king of AI compute. The moat is not just the GPUs, it’s also CUDA, the software ecosystem, scale, and massive R&D.
• Broadcom: a major player in custom AI silicon, networking, and now software with VMware. One of the best picks-and-shovels names in the space.
• Arista: my favorite networking name. EOS and strong execution give them a real moat as AI clusters become more network-intensive.
• Micron: yes, it’s cyclical, but memory is becoming more and more critical in AI, especially HBM. One of the few major US memory players.
• TSMC: the manufacturing backbone. Massive industrial moat and absolutely central to producing the most advanced chips across the AI stack.

My logic is simple: I want exposure to the key parts of the AI hardware stack: compute, networking, memory, and manufacturing.

I also looked seriously at names like ASML, Marvell, Lam Research, Celestica, and Nebius, and I already have a bit of money in some of them, but at some point you have to stop building watchlists and actually pick your main horses.

Maybe this blows up in my face. Maybe concentration is exactly how I underperform. But if I want a real shot at turning $100k into $1M, I’d rather go deep on a few businesses I really believe in than spread myself too thin.

Curious what you guys think.

I live in a developing country and hope to reach $1M before I retire. I have a full-time job and am trying crypto trading on the side, but I haven’t been successful. T.T

I also tried starting a business during COVID, but it failed. I don’t know if I’ll ever earn $1M in this lifetime.
