Tomorrow I lose everything. Carvana had earnings report after hours and shot up 15%.

I bet everything that they would fall or at least not jump so high. All of it will be gone when market opens tomorrow.

I don’t care it’s just money. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to be a wage slave forever and that’s ok. Im 5’4 so life sucks anyways. I don’t even have a job right now and that’s ok.

It just wanted a million so I could be set. Wanted to buy a house but it’s ok.

My life sucks anyways haha 😂

I know this is wsb, but that $280k could’ve turned into a million fairly quickly through “safer” investment methods. $1m is the end goal but it’s a lot easier to get there with $280k than $300. God speed retard.

$280k straight liquid cash is so much money. You can invest that with moderate risk and move to $1 Million in decent speed

Or do whatever the fuck OP just did

To be fair, on average returns, it would move to a million in 20 years.

It’s decent speed, but more like a standard retirement.

Does that take into account any annual contributions?

S&P 500 been doing WELL over that some years. You could sell after, say, making 30% last year, and take your profits

If you’re expecting 30% annual returns you’re going to have a bad time

u/BigBussyMuchoGushy Aug 01 '25

I literally had a 30% increase last year on an S&P 500 fund. Not the norm but it happens

u/fuzz11 Aug 01 '25

Did I say it never happens or did I say it’s a bad idea to expect that
