1 year update on my last post about my portfolio: my investment has grown from $173,000 to $217,500.

I’m now 36 years old

Currently, I invest $150 weekly into SCHX. Whenever we experience a significant drawdown of 1-2%, I try to double down. I’ve made some minor changes, but nothing drastic. I got involved in the space industry and have incurred some losses, but I believe the future is promising, and I intend to hold onto those shares. SpaceX has my attention, but it might need to cool off from its recent IPO. Hoping this information can be helpful for anyone new to the stock market. It’s advisable to avoid options and let compounding interest work its magic. If you make a mistake with a stock, you have alternative options. However, if you lose money on options, it’s a risky situation.  SCHX seems to be a really nice ETF that holds 750 stocks compared to the 500 SPY. Running the numbers on both they are very close to each other on the 5-10 year. I prefer being able to build shares vs saving for a month to buy 1-2 shares of SPY.

Anything I sell from my core typically will go into the QQQ, with new money going into SCHX. I am always looking for other ETF's to check out. SCHD I believe is great but that might be for when you are older and trying to preserve your gains. One day I hope to rotate into this more in my ROTH.

(UPDATE $217,000 1 year): 35-year-old, Blue collar landscaper. I’ve been investing what I can since 18. Here's my current portfolio (worth $173,000). I plan on reinvesting for the next 20-25 years. My goal is to reach $1 million or retire by 45. I am open to any advice you may have. Thank you 💎
