I never changed my investment strategy. I lost a bunch in PE a few years so I’m kind of fun shy. PE deals always look good on paper. I pretty much agree with Avanade 1.

As I get wealthier, the only thing that changes is larger numbers of shares in the same funds.

Stay the course.

Simplicity and reduced anxiety remains my investing philosophy after 1 and even 2 million. No stocks, no Bitcoin, no speculation, prominently 3 fund portfolio (total US, total international, small % alternative and real estate). I just invest and ignore it.

Here’s how much you’d have to save per month to get to your goal… assuming 10% annually… so 240k / month post tax.

Yes, net inflation.

I'd call 5% for equities a typical case, not a bear case. It's what global equities (and those of the average country) have historically done.

7% or more real is what you get with an exceptional country or an exceptional period of history, and to me assuming that is assuming a bull case. :)

Assuming you are 39 and want to get to $6.25M by 50, that’s a lot of ground to cover in the next 11 yrs. I’m not sure how to turn $500K into $6M without making some aggressive investments and increasing how much you are saving.

Not really no. Once we achieved 10M we started with non-traditional PE type investments but until then it was pretty vanilla. It's just so much easier.

Is 401k considered liquid?

It depends on your i dividual circumstances.
If over 59.5 the count it as liquid.

I'm 58, already retired, and including my 401k in liquid bucket since I'll be able to unlock it in about 1 year from now.
