I try to focus on hitting smaller milestones instead of thinking about how far I still have to go.
Right now, my next milestone is $5 a day. I'm at about $3.66.
My long-term goal is to eventually reach $1,000 a month in dividend income. Once I get there, I'll set a new goal and keep going.
I'd love to hear what goals everyone here is working toward.
The only individual tech stock I own is Microsoft, but I also have a lot of tech exposure through ETFs like VTI, VOO, QQQM, and JEPQ.
Would you add more tech stocks, or just leave it alone since I'd mostly be doubling up on what I already own through my ETFs?
I'm 27 and almost all of my money goes into ETFs because I like keeping things simple. But I feel like this might be the right time to start building a few positions in individual companies while I still have a long investment horizon.
What would you be looking at that doesn't overlap too much with the ETFs I already own?
I've been investing for about 5 years now. The goal: build a portfolio that can eventually give me a solid stream of passive income in retirement.
I know I'm still young and have plenty of time, but it's hard not to compare yourself when Reddit is full of people posting million-dollar portfolios. Every now and then I catch myself wondering if I'm behind or missing something.
For those of you who've been doing this for a while, what do you think? Am I on the right track, or is there something you'd be doing differently if you were in my shoes?
I'm 27 years old and I'm focused on long-term investing. My goal is to buy great companies and hold them for decades.
I'm looking for growth stocks right now. What do you think of Visa? It has a strong business, growing dividends, and seems to offer significant protection from competition.
Do any of you own Visa stock? Do you think it's a good choice for me?
Not exactly retirement money yet, but I'm getting close to the point where my portfolio can buy me a coffee every day.
Small milestone, but I'll take it. On to $5/day.
Most of my portfolio is built around broad market ETFs, with a few individual positions like MSFT and JEPQ.
What do you think? Am I on the right track, or is there anything you'd change at this stage?
I'm 27 and trying to build a portfolio for the next few decades.
AVGO keeps coming up during my research, but I'm not sure whether the upside from here justifies the current price.
Would you be buying shares today?
My dividend income keeps growing little by little, but sometimes I wonder if it'll ever be enough. I don't earn a ton, retirement is still a long way off, and it's hard to know what the market or economy will look like in 20–30 years.
Does anyone else have these doubts, or is it just part of being early in the journey?
My goal is to invest long term and eventually build enough passive income to have a comfortable retirement without relying only on a paycheck.
This is what my current sector allocation looks like. What do you guys think? Anything you’d change or improve to make the portfolio stronger long term?
What do you think?
On to the next milestone!
