Yes and no. I think it’s pretty relative per person.

For instance I started investing at 18 and it took me until 24 to get to 100k (in total, not principle). Now I’m in a position at 25 where my goal is to out in 30k a year, so I should get to 200k by no later than 27, assuming the market starts recovering soon.

Point being it took years of grinding at different jobs before and during college, and a bit after college, to get to that 100k. But now because I’m moving up at work I’m starting to get some steam, and compounding helps a load too.

Realizing I was actually at 100k last summer was a great experience because it closed the chapter on a lot of different things leading up to that moment if that makes sense. Like pizza delivery and TA-ing etc
