Probably I hit the $100k at 30, but I did it on Latin America so make it there is way harder, I moved to the US and investment opportunities are greater plus compensation vs cost of living allows to invest more, I'm on track to be $2 million in 2028.

Looking to get some feedback on this investment strategy: Contribute 100% of the allowed limit in ESPP program(15% of base) to get full company match(15% of my contribution).

I understand the short term tax implications but still feels it is better to invest in etf than in company’s stocks. Thoughts?
