Well another $100k milestone. 2020 certainly has been a crazy year and just reinforces that no one in their wildest dreams can come remotely close to predicting what will happen to the economy/stock market and you are an absolute idiot if you think you can time the market. Stay invested with a long term focus and let time work in your favor.
The market was actually down about 7% since my last milestone, but my individual stock performance was able to outperform the market and bag another $100k milestone. These are getting less and less impressive as time goes on as my nestegg has grown large enough that only 6% increases will result in another $100k. This in theory could happen in the matter of only a few days. I think once we hit $2M it will require me to go to 250k increments as I honestly will not even be able to follow my portfolio close enough to catch the 100k jumps here pretty soon.
