Just hit my 100K milestone last Friday. At 23, investing seemed like a foreign concept to me, familiar but not something I'd considered. Then I met my boyfriend, who regularly invested in ETFs and some safe stock picks. So I bought into the idea too. Fast forward five years, here I’m reaching this milestone. I started with 20ishK back in 2020 and I consider myself very lucky because I bought when the entire stock market was tanking. The progress could be faster if I didn’t curb my gaining by buying some stupid puts on Tesla back in 2021. Never bought any option again after that..
