Millennial Dad Money

At 25, I thought $100k invested would change my life. At 30, I crossed $1M. Now my target is $1.5M invested by age 35. I'm a Canadian dad with 2 young kids, a mortgage, and a full-time corporate job. I'm documenting the journey publicly. Let's see where it goes.

@Naimaintaipei Yes it is!

@XCompoundQuiet Is this app blossom?

I made $37,500 in my first job after university. I lived at home. Drove an old car. Saved everything I could. Today, my portfolio is currently up over $18,000. Almost half of what I earned in an entire year back then. Some days the power of compounding doesn't feel real. The money is nice. But what motivates me most is knowing that every step forward creates more options for my two daughters.

@BitcoinBendeer Wouldn't give that time back for the world.

@XCompoundQuiet 🍊Time trumps any asset, and is absolutely the most valuable. Congratulations to the whole family, well done, sir!

My wife was nervous about stepping away from her career for maternity leave. So we invested the $160,000 she made last year and let time do the work. Today that investment is worth over $240,000. The gain is nice. But the real payoff was giving her more time with our newborn daughters when they needed her most. Money is great. Buying time is better. 👼👼

@itsthewealth4me Probably add not divorced to the list.

3 goals I think are worth working towards by 45 if you're a 9-5 high earner: - No debt outside of your mortgage (no car debt, personal loans, credit cards, etc.) - 780+ credit score - Net worth over $1M, 75% liquid You're in pretty good shape, if that's your reality by 40

@Leo_Traydes BUT I WANT AN AUDI Q5!!?

Once you hit $100,000 by the age of 25 you can put that all in the SP500 and retire a millionaire without ever investing another dollar It really is this simple🤷‍♂️

@MiniRetireMatt Crazy man, on the bucket list!

Liquidity Event

@InvestsDad @WealthJourney21 Love to see it!

@WealthJourney21 🟢🟢🟢

How did your portfolio perform today?🟢🔴👇

@Mauriinvesting1 Nice to hear! Hope the week is net green.

Portfolio did very well today 🟢🟢🟢

@investwithjohn9 the $SPCX getting thrown in their face must be unbearable.

People holding cash today

@Lizardhunt_ @_LamNam_ Is there a catch to $JEQP ? Why did you sell?

@_LamNam_ I'm not a fan of JEQP or these income funds. I had a bunch the sold them all

🔔 Road to £100k: The Daily Close 🟢 2 green days in a row! Can’t argue with that, you may notice I made a little change 👀 Trimmed some JEQP to start a position in $MU - I’m aware it’s at ATHs but that’s not a reason not to invest in a trade that has legs. If it dips I might add more! The Scores on the Doors: 📈 Portfolio: +1% (+£77.32) 💰 Balance: £7,323.96 ⭐️ Performers: $META +4.5% $JEQP +2.19% 🔴 Red Card: $JEDG +5.45% Tactical Breakdown: $MU was the absolute star of the market, rocketing over 10% today. Investors are aggressively bidding up the stock amid fresh signs of AI-driven memory chip shortages, sparking widespread optimism that the industry is entering a prolonged "supercycle". While the heat map shows a massive 10.09% daily gain, the actual portfolio impact is smaller since the position was just initiated today by trimming some $JEQP.  $META and $JEQP anchored the legacy portfolio with fantastic gains. Meta rode the broader tech recovery upward to secure a 4.55% daily return. Meanwhile, $JEQP still provided a solid 2.19% boost despite being trimmed, proving it remains a highly reliable compounding asset. $JEDG took the red card today with a painful 5.45% drop. While the broader market soared, capital continues to heavily rotate out of broader space ETFs. With SpaceX surging another 16.3% on its second day of trading, institutional money is seemingly liquidating smaller space holdings to consolidate directly into the newly public industry leader.  How did you get on today? #ISA #FinX #RoadTo100k #Investing

@Bobil2322 The one-liners kill me..

@XCompoundQuiet That’s what I’m here for Not for dumb motivation speeches

@JamieFInvests Hey Jamie! Look forward to engaging! Congrats on the initial following.

Wow what an awesome community! Already up at nearly 250 follwers after setting up a few days ago. Thanks to everyone for the support. I am so glad I set up a dedicated account. Literally talk about stocks all day 😅😅 so it made sense to set up an account to document my ramblings 🤣🤣

@GrowthStockDad Thanks bro 🤛 I am sure you guys did something similar?

@XCompoundQuiet Amen, Dad Amazing stuff You both will never regret this!

@itsthewealth4me Its combined! We always found it strange couples that keep finances separate. My wife and I make about the same but she works probably 1/3 of the hours 🤣

@XCompoundQuiet Is this combined with you and your wife, or your solo?

@BullMarketBoss You have any FOMO on $SPCX ? I may just delete it from my watch list....

Hats off to another day in the markets. The stock market is the greatest show on earth. Did you buy back any future time and the freedom it brings? My adds: No adds today, just managed my options and was watching the $SPCX jump. HBU?

@WealthJourney21 Nice little bump ~1.7%. In the green baby.

@alecsime Any time those little girls are mentioned I get emotional. Thank you bro.

@XCompoundQuiet saved everything on $37K and let time do the rest. that's not luck that's just discipline compounding quietly for years. your daughters won't know how early it started but they'll feel it their whole lives.

@tkzxbt Haha awesome, good to do it while young. We have some great mountains.

@XCompoundQuiet yep, i am obsessed and i have passion for the markets im not materiallistic, but i do love going snowboarding lol. i spent 5 months in canada unemployed just snowboarding, did it cost me a lot yeah, was it worth it. fuck yeah
