Today I celebrate my 40th birthday which is also a milestone stone for me and my portfolio. When I was in my 20s working at the Bank. I thought to myself…wouldn’t be nice to have 1 million in liquid cash by 50 years old. It was a dream seems unrealistic at first. Fast forward 20 years later my portfolio is now a little half way there and I’ve still got 10 years left for that goal of 1 million. I will say I been lucky and fortunate to have a steady career and been frugal/saving. However, majority of my milestone is through sacrifice, hard work through sweat and tears. Really proud of me because I didn’t have parents who just handed me money or teaching me “how to” invest. Self learning only about 4-5 years through mistake and painful lessons. Writing this post to remind me of what I have accomplished and also tracking each year progress. This is to my future self one year from now I’m curious to see how will this portfolio be at. Thank you for this wonderful community as I’ve been reading and learning from many posts to better educated myself on learning more about the investing world. I still got more to learn. 🍻
My portfolio contains a mixed of primary ETFs
SCHD 35%
SCHG 18%
QQQI 11%
BTCI 2%
SCHY 2%
UPS (rookie mistake and painful lesson learned 32% which I’m planning to shave off soon).

June 6th is my Bday and you always count UPS deliver my Bday present on time every years.

Proud parent moment today.
My daughter’s portfolio returned +30.79% over the past year — outperforming the S&P 500.
Sometimes the best strategy really is the “boring” one:
✔️ Stay invested
✔️ Stay consistent
✔️ Ignore the noise
Slow and steady can still win the race.

This portfolio combines SCHD, SPMO, VOO (33% split)

I love my SCHD. Anyone want to share their.
