Just hit $100k NW today and it’s pretty exciting for me. I was at -$50k (student loans) before graduation in May 2019.
No crazy luck in crypto or investments. Just basic saving, 401k, ESPP and low expenses. Next step is to start investing by myself and taking some risks!!!

TC: $82.5k

I’m an early startup having raised a bit of money from family and friends to help grow my business. Time is moving fast and I’m potties I won’t hit my targets and being the return back to those who invested.
Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?
