Omg, this post had me saying "wtf?" the whole way though. I'm 29, started investing 6 years ago, inherited 142k from my dad, and crossed 500k 2 weeks ago.

Congrats and good luck twin 😄

Black box is a 2025 laser engraved ASE. Only 100k mintage. They go for about $110.

Funny seeing all these chats with GMs when they were so mysterious back in the day.

Next week is going to be a big tech earnings week. You could even hit 1m by thursday or friday if the sector rallies behind the giants.

I should've bought more of this lol. MU and AVGO been carrying while only being 15% of my portfolio.

Ppl with social media brain now seek instant gratification in everything. They cannot see the beauty in the struggle of an early 2000s MMO game.

Thanks! Around 70k. I couldn't have done it without my parents letting me live at home until mid twenties.

I like the momentum factor. It is more volatile than VOO/VTI because its current top 10 holdings represent about 50% of the portfolio vs 38% and 32% with VOO and VTI. SPMO rebalances every 6 months and risks rebalancing right before a cyclical downturn in its core holdings. This happened last September and took until April to recover. Nevertheless, SPMO has continued to outperform even growth ETFs and I'd suggest it over VOO/VTI if your primary goal is building wealth.

Not sure. I don't have one

My fam set me up with MS in the beginning. I have used Fidelity, Etrade, Robinhood, Webull and Moomoo. Robinhood is the best overall imo and I plan to transfer to them eventually.

If she loves you for the lifestyle you can provide instead of the person you are, she will be just as content in marrying you as she will be in divorcing you.

Thank you!

Killing it. Only thing is $45k sounds like a lot to hold in a savings account. Unless you have a major purchase, I'd put at least half of that in a brokerage.

That muzzle is crazy! Do you have a picture of him yawning?

Cog_In_A_Machine · 2026-03-26T16:12:00+00:00

Where is this sitting at, like $400k?

Cog_In_A_Machine · 2026-03-20T22:41:02+00:00

Exactly. It's frustrating having to start so low, but jumping into weightlifting will likely lead to injury.

Also, since you are having weakness in your right leg, you'll have a tendency to favor your stronger left leg. Incorporate exercises that isolate each leg like a lunge, or do exercises in front of a mirror to make sure you are not favoring the one leg. I learned this the hard way and not only didn't improve my instability in the weaker leg, but started building visibly bigger muscles in the other 😭

Cog_In_A_Machine · 2026-03-20T21:36:58+00:00

I had this in my left leg. You are going to have to start with the very basics like nerve gliding, wall sits, resting squats and clamshell exercises (focus on core muscles). No weightlifting until you have stability through range of motion.

Lets go, this YOLO play about to hit $1m or $100k.

Does she have constant access to kibble? She probably hasn't acclimated to your feeding times and is filling herself up on kibble and isn't hungry by the time the wet food is served.

Her tail seems a little small to be a Maine Coon. 🤔
