Processing a milestone

[u/BigTintheBigD]

Still trying to wrap my brain around this:

The nest egg has made more money since retiring than I did in 30 years of working.

3 years of passive returns > 30 years of full time work

The compounding is insane (admittedly we’ve had a great run the last few years).

It makes the 30 years of working seem so pointless but that is what amassed the snowball so it was necessary.

This is the exact moment a lot of people finally understand why the boring advice works. You did the hard part. Now the money is doing what it was supposed to do. Enjoy it
