Wow. A small percentage looks like a lot as you gain more net worth

Just an observation. My wife's mother unfortunately died WAY too young. Thankfully, I had a boglehead mentality which I shared with my wife so we didn't squander or mis-use the inheritance. We donated a significant amount in her mother's honor to a charity she would have loved, and invested the rest into VTI/VXUS.

But it's wild to see how a 1% increase in a day shows up as THOUSANDS of dollars difference. It's 1%. But thank goodness I don't check daily, and I trust in the process. Cause normally, seeing a negative of thousands of dollars would be .... puckering. But I understand it's the long term.

Stay the course everyone. And while I check and record my NW monthly cause I'm curious and want to know, I'd recommend not even doing that unless you can be SUPER chill. I'm ALMOST chill enough.... almost. lol.
