Here to celebrate reaching $30k in my Vanguard

[maglomanic]

I know 30k will sounds like a lot or a little depending on who is reading this but I just felt like making a little celebratory post for myself. I first started investing during Feb 2017. At this point I'm up to having $17,750 of my own money invested. I took a decent chunk out last year to pay for a new roof and I'm just excited to have made it way above where I even was before I took the money out. Like, I made $875 this month! I only made $1,435 from my JOB. So much excite. It's very satisfying to watch.

That is exciting.  Good work and keep going!  You are working on building momentum.

Congrats.  You'll have a considerable amount at a young age if you stay the course and keep it up.  Shoot for financial independence no later than 55.

At 29  I was still busy spending more than I made.

So congratulations to you, you are way ahead of most people !

No victory is too little to appreciate. In fact, it is the joy that you get from these wins that will motivate you to keep going, stay consistent, and optimize even more. Celebrate the wins. This is a long journey, but its pretty much a guarantee you will get there if you keep it up!

High fives and well done! The money you are saving now will pay big dividends in the long run.

Great job! A wonderful milestone, especially because you had a recent big house-related expense to work past.

Congrats--you're doing great!!

That was a lot for me at that age!  Terrific work!

Congrats. I got really excited when my investments made as much in a month as I earned working. That's a pretty sweet feeling. Keep investing and watching it grow. The numbers zoom up faster and faster.

Congrats! It took us 2 years to reach that , and we were dual income, already in our 40s !

It is a great feeling watching your money grow bit by bit all on it's own :)

Nice! I like the way you looks at investments gains vs, income from job. That gives it all additional meaning.

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

Congrats!  When I was 29 my net worth was negative $165,000.  Keep plugging along and enjoy the journey!

You are on the right track. Keep it up! I remember these times fondly.

Yay! congratulations. Keep dreaming big, if you are intentional they become reality sooner than we think.
