43M. Finally hit $250K last week. 🎉
Not too long ago my only goal was fighting massive debt from a divorce just to get back to zero. Today I am over a quarter-million positive. Life changes in unimaginable ways with a little patience, faith and self-belief.
At Jan 2025 my self directed portfolio was sitting at around 1k. I moved my accounts from Sunlife to self-directed last April 2025. I had added some funds last year to buy the dip but haven't added fresh capital this year. Just rotating proceeds, staying patient and letting the portfolio do the heavy lifting.
Sitting at over 37% up for the past year. Compounding is beautiful when it works for you. 📈
A few lessons learned:
- Earn first; you can't cost-cut your way to wealth.
2. Capital preservation is the single most important rule.
Growth-equity demands emotional discipline.
Don't trade daily but don't miss the days that move the market.
Take control. Nobody loves growing your money more than you do.
Stay in the game. $250K is just a checkpoint. Onwards. 🚀
