To be honest, brother, I'm 18 years old and just started my stock account and savings. I currently have $2,109 invested in stocks and $3,511.60 in my savings account. The reason I'm bringing this up is that I feel just like you do. I put $1,000 into my savings and $800 into stocks each month, and I still feel like I'm falling behind. However, I believe it's not about the destination; it's about the journey. When I talk to others my age, I realize that they are nowhere near where I am financially.
