My Investing Strategy to Hit $1M by 30 (as a financially responsible 25 year old) $624,945 +167,243 (36.54%) All-time OTHER 37% VTSAX 1632.97 shares | 44.43% $267,137 USD +77,515.29 (+40.88%) VOO 111.39 shares | 11.68% $70,252 USD +20,397.58 (+40.91%) QQQM 248.11 shares | 10.30% $61,931 USD +7,858.63 (+14.53%) GOOM 9% VOO 11% 1: Stop Trying to Beat the Market I don't try to pick individual stocks (most of the time). The majority of my money is in index funds that cover the entire stock market. So instead of putting all my money on Tesla, I'm in 1000's of companies There are professionals that don't even beat the market. Why bother? 2: Automate Investing I invest the same amount consistently. Example: $500 every month Whether market is up or down Why this works: Removes analysis paralysis Builds the habit without relying on willpower Time in the market > timing the market No guessing. No "is this the right time?" I win by being consistent. My money is ALWAYS working for me 3: Use "Fun Money" for Individual Stocks I still invest in individual companies but only ~30% of my portfolio and this was AFTER i hit 6 figs in index funds My actual setup: ~70% -> index funds/etfs (core) ~30% -> individual stocks (high risk/high reward) Stocks I look for: Companies that I can hold for 10-20+ years Companies that can drop 30% and not freak out Companies that I actually understand GOOG 67.9 shares | 3.48% $20,903 USD +11,432.51 (+120.72%) META 28.55 shares | 3.08% $18,512 USD +2,623.36 (+16.51%) AMD 80.83 shares | 2.81% $16,912 USD +6,438.25 (+61.47%) NVMI 35.53 shares | 2.67% $16,038 USD +9,271.30 (+137.01%) 4: Increase Income Aggressively This is the most underrated part. Your investment growth also depends on how much you put in. Example: Investing $200/month vs $1,000/month = MASSIVE difference over time (duh) Focus on: higher-paying skills business opportunities multiple income streams More income = more invested = faster compounding
