Title: $500,000 in my investment portfolio!
Post by: Feebolob on December 10, 2024, 11:35:46 AM

Can't share with friends and family, but wanted to get this in the world. I owe a large part to the Bogleheads' Three-Fund Portfolio. What a great book. Here's a short online wiki article, but I highly suggest the book. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio (https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio)

Cheers,

Congrats! There's also a whole thread of people "racing" to $500k, good place to share your accomplishment:

Congrats! We also hit this milestone this year and I agree - it feels HUGE!

I hadn't joined any of the "race" threads before, but I did join the one RWD recommends and it's been nice to both chart progress and be inspired by others.

Welcome to the "not millionaires but well on our way" club :)

Congratulations!  You’ll be surprised how much faster the second half of that first million arrives!
