    In this week’s edition of celebrating random milestones:

    It took me roughly 10 months to earn last years gross salary in portfolio gains. Glad to see my portfolio earns more than I do, especially since it doesn’t have to pay taxes on that income.

      It’s a great milestone. I wish I’d started tracking my net worth back when I was young. I don’t even remember the first year my portfolio made more than I made in earned income.

      I’m trying to convince my nieces and nephews to save and invest, but they think it’s hopeless because they’re starting out with nothing. I started out with a negative net worth (student loans + brand new vehicle).
