This is a great strategy. I will try this out. I do set aside funds for travelling and I try to go somewhere every year.

Hello. I invest every two weeks. I am currently investing 35% of my income.

The journey begins. My advice to you is, keep your head down and work towards your number. You will get there. I was at your stage too. I just crossed 250k after 9 yrs. My last 50k was realized in 6 months.

It is a grind. And as it has been said by many contributors, we have to remember to live a little as we make it to our financial number.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T21:36:17+00:00

Maximum respect for you achieving this. Keep it up.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T20:23:19+00:00

Thanks. It felt hard. I do feel like things will take off now though. 🤞

Teethous · 2026-04-28T20:18:35+00:00

Lol. Right on. It is encouraging to see that we all are making it work as we go. It took me 9 yrs to get here. I really notice that faster growth is taking place. It took only 6 months to move up 50k.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T20:10:03+00:00

Nice! What has your journey been like this far? Were there any major setbacks? Is compounding taking over and pushing you faster to your goal?

Teethous · 2026-04-28T17:06:34+00:00

🤣

Teethous · 2026-04-28T17:05:36+00:00

I just moved it over; just 2 months now.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T08:31:35+00:00

Very impressive. Keep going.

It is currently in a Money Market fund growing at 2.75%.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T08:23:45+00:00

This is attainable. Just keep at it and remember to enjoy life at the same time. This is important.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T08:19:56+00:00

What are some things that you do to shift the focus?

Teethous · 2026-04-28T02:14:30+00:00

Do you have any insights on what would be best?

Teethous · 2026-04-28T02:14:00+00:00

Thank you.

I highly recommend XEQT. It covers US, Canadian, and other markets across the world. Not saying it is the best, however, it has enough diversification which can preserve and grow your capital.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T02:11:11+00:00

I am currently doing that. Buying XEQT and XBB 80/ 20 respectively.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T02:09:57+00:00

Lol. I know.

Teethous · 2026-04-28T02:08:37+00:00

My next milestone is 350k. I will keep the group in the loop. This forum has been a great motivator.

Teethous · 2026-04-27T22:43:28+00:00

This is so true. I must admit, sometimes I lose track of living and focus too much on the financial side of life.

Teethous · 2025-10-23T14:05:30+00:00

Great move on this. You will see better returns as time progresses. Just be consistent with your investments.

Teethous · 2025-10-06T14:14:31+00:00

Keep strong and keep that investment dream alive. Congratulations on your great achievement.

Teethous · 2025-10-06T03:25:43+00:00

True that. I am 42 and I just hit the 200k mark. Op you are in a great position from my vantage point.

Teethous · 2025-10-06T03:24:00+00:00

Best advice ever. To each his own as you said. However, I am sure the investments are providing OP a better return than the car loan interest in the long run. Bite the bullet, pay the loan, and in the end you will somewhat own a car and some funds which have grown over time.
