Incidentally, I too started investing at age 25, about 7 years ago, with zero net worth, so if your net worth is above zero you are already off to a good start. As long as you save a high percentage of what you earn and invest it regularly in both good times and bad, you can surely achieve this and much more.

I don't think I'm Wall Street material any time soon. :)<br /><br />I definitely still got a long way to go to $1B. But as the saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. :) At 12% annual rate of return, I should get there in 58 years. At 10% annual rate of return, I should get there in 69 years (still possible within my lifetime). The destination is cool (what would I do with $1B?), but it's the journey that counts!JTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917770023204677425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692556574549543503.post-86026332990625939252017-01-02T02:23:04.439-08:002017-01-02T02:23:04.439-08:00Nice work JTTF.

Long way to go to $1B...! jk.<br /><br />PIDPassive Income Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698511310449851311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692556574549543503.post-63841617329004454522017-01-01T17:20:02.136-08:002017-01-01T17:20:02.136-08:00Very impressive!

I am still in the early stages of my investment career but seeing some figures like this gives me the confidence that I can achieve it one day too. I am probably still young enough (25) to be able to achieve this. But hey, a combined increase of 37% is nothing to scoff at! Well done Buy, Hold Longhttp://www.buyholdlong.comnoreply@blogger.com
