In reply to SMM.

It’s definitely an uphill battle in the beginning (took me a year to save $50k) but as time goes on it just gets easier and easier as you have more money saved up working for you.

As Charlie Munger once said, “The first $100k is a bi*ch, but you gotta do it.”

Very useful! I guess it’s true when they say the first million is the hardest. It’s a uphill battle in the beginning to save a lot and bigger than that to be consistent about it. Your numbers say it all. Of course everyone wants more bang for their buck and thus want to see how their money is working for them. But you gotta have money invested to make money right? 🙂

Dude, THANK YOU for sharing this. I’m having a conversation with Mr. Picky Pincher right now about whether we need to be investing right now. Gonna whip out this tool and see what makes the most sense.
