Tell me why I can't grow my account to $1M in 12 years

  1. Not really, read it again. Why do ppl invest? To grow more money. If you have enough, why grow more. Especially when time and risk is involved.

    I see.
    I was thinking more of the broker's adage: "only risk your money that you don't immediately need"

    Thankfully people be greedy, if not already rich people would simply retire, rather than grow the business, plow money into medical research, make better cars, bla bla bla.

    I'm lazy, 200K and I'll retire!! :)

    Why not keep reinvesting in real estate?

    Lousy question.

    Better to ask yourself, “How can I grow $30k to $1M in 12 years or less?”

    That question is of a different focus and will put you on a different path.

    Most of the work will be unlearning most of what you have been enculturated to believe as true by the FI.
