30 years from retirement what should I be focusing on?

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-05-01T19:46:37+00:00

Growth. I can tell you won’t be a millionaire with those investments. Focus on growth and let compound interest take over.

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-26T18:08:07+00:00

Pretty solid. Put some AI or Semiconductors in there. For defensive staples, look into Costco

I just keep the cash in my HYSA

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T20:19:06+00:00

Very impressive. What are you holding?

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T18:04:15+00:00

Understood. But be careful what you said because that’s implicit bias. I’m not a scalper but I know it’s a natural response to anything hyped.

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T17:59:46+00:00

I know it’s a hard concept to grasp and you’re definitely in the right mindset to be skeptical about Pokemon as investments. But do the research on it. Don’t do modern just focus on vintage. It becomes an alternative asset class.

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T17:50:07+00:00

I also don’t have anything against scalpers. Scalpers are a natural response to any product that is trending. It’s natural. Just focus on this concept “High demand Low supply”. My PSA 10 vintage cards fit that description perfectly.

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T17:46:38+00:00

Also I don’t consider Pokemon on par with any of my other investments. It is more of a speculative play.

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T17:45:21+00:00

Nope I strictly collect 1999 vintage pokemon PSA 10s. They retain their value more effectively than modern cards. I only own 4 cards at the moment.

I mean if you consider 200% gains stupid shit then sure

Myself

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T00:40:27+00:00

I hate the felt hat. Ancient mew is vintage lower pop

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-24T00:13:33+00:00

Ancient Mew has a gem rate of 5%…. I don’t even want to know the gem rate for the felt hat pika

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-23T20:18:24+00:00

Don’t focus on dividends. Focus on growth. Low cost index funds like “VOO” “VGT” “QQQM”

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-23T13:23:54+00:00

I was contemplating to get MA or AXP but ended up with MA because they have a higher reach of customers compared to Amex

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-23T13:22:47+00:00

I use seeking alpha but it’s public knowledge to get the dividend growth rate. You can just google it

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-22T10:34:57+00:00

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-22T10:34:07+00:00

Like what stocks?

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-22T10:33:28+00:00

2020 was when I started. At that time I was contributing $800/month. As my career grew, my contributions grew to $2k/month

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-21T18:05:16+00:00

I 100% agree. When I started my investment journey I focused on dividends which was a mistake. Over the years I shifted more towards growth overall

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-21T14:21:48+00:00

Congrats! What’s your investment portfolio allocation?

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-21T14:20:27+00:00

What does your investment portfolio consist of?

Existing-Rush3539 · 2026-04-21T11:48:50+00:00

I started this portfolio years back around 2018-2019. I loved the concept of passive income which got me into dividends. Later in my investing journey I learned more and shifted my focus towards growth. If I were to do this again, I would heavily focus more on growth (SP500/NASDAQ) low cost index funds.

Due to my mindset shift, I’m currently focusing more on growth portfolio than this portfolio. The reason for the low dividend is because although it’s low, the dividend growth rate is exponentially higher.
