I made $140,000 last year trading part time.
While running a podcast. While on tour. While building brands.
Not because I found a secret strategy.
Because speaking to the world's best traders every week forced me to actually apply what they were saying.
Read more books. Read to escape reality. Read to understand reality. Read to challenge what you believe. Read to think better. Read to write better. Read to argue better. Read to know yourself. Read to build something. A single book can completely rewire your brain.
The Roth IRA limit is $7,500 in 2026.
That's only $145 a week.
If you invest $145 a week into S&P 500 index funds for 30 years, you'll only spend $225,000 of your own money.
But at retirement, you should have $1,400,000.
This is the power of time and compound interest.
An investor with a portfolio of 2 or 3 good index funds will outperform 90% of single stock pickers without even trying.
Index funds offer a stress free way to build wealth.
If you put $2,000 into Micron $MU in 2010, you would be rich today.
Well...
Let’s play it out if you somehow did nothing & held until right now.
You would have about $3,250 by the end of 2015
and did nothing
Then watched that $3,250 climb to about $13,200 by the 2018 peak
and still did nothing
Then watched $13,200 get cut almost in half to about $7,300 in the late 2018 crash
and still did nothing
Then watched $7,300 rip to about $21,400 at the November 2021 peak
and still did nothing
Then watched $21,400 collapse to about $11,600 at the September 2022 bottom
and still did nothing
Then watched $11,600 explode to about $175,700 by right now
and for some reason finally decided to do something...
Then yes, $2,000 in Micron in 2010 would be worth about $175,700 today.
The lesson is the same.
Everyone fantasizes about the final number.
Almost nobody has the stomach to sit through the volatility to create that...
