Turn your first $1,000 to $1.6M

Here’s what $1,000/month invested in the stock market looks like for an aggressive portfolio of 80% equity and 20% fixed income:

 

In one year, you will have $12,000 (That’s 6 months living in Thailand.)

 

In two years, $25,440 (That’s a car purchase.)

 

In five years, $76,234 (That’s a down payment.)

 

In eight years, $147,596 (That’s a 5-year sabbatical.)

 

In ten years, $210,585 (That’s capital for your business.)

 

In fifteen years, $447,357 (That’s tuition for your kids and a nice retirement for your parents.)

 

In 20 years, $864,629 (You can switch to part-time hours.)

 

In 25 years, $1,600,000 (That’s enough to retire and never work again.)

 

And the best part about walking away with $1.6M is that you only had to put in $300,000 of your own money!

 

This is the power of compound interest and it really starts to take off from year 10 and after you hit over $100,000 invested.

 

This is the point where you’ve made more in returns than what you put in.

 

Investing is a powerful wealth-building tool that gives you the option to live a rich life. 

 

It is the only vehicle where your money works harder than you do.

 

But to reap the benefits, you have to first build a Profitable Portfolio and most importantly, remain CONSISTENT.

 

Inside the Surplus Stack Society, I will teach you how to build a Profitable Investment Portfolio plus the support and accountability to remain consistent, especially in a shaky economy, even if you've never invested before.

 

By the end of week one, you will know all your numbers, such as how much exactly you need to retire on and how to invest based on your specific goals, including investing for your kids or retiring your parents.

 

By the end of week two, you will know exactly how much risk you should be taking based on each goal and how to efficiently allocate your assets so you’re making the most money without unnecessary losses.

 

Because your first 100K is just as important as your first $1,000, by week three, you will map out your first $100,000 portfolio and the types of investments to hold in this portfolio so you’re making steady gains every step of the way.

 

Then by week four, you will know exactly what to look for when choosing ETFs and be able to confidently purchase your first four ETFs.

 

Week 5 is all about dividends and what to look for when choosing a dividend stock.

 

Weeks 6-8 focus on stock picking and how to perform fundamental analysis on companies so you’re buying stocks based on profitability instead of hype.

 

In just 8 weeks, you will go from novice to investing better than the finance bros, and your head won't spin from all the jargon, and you won't have to make any risky moves.

 

The Surplus Stack Society is not only a place where you get to learn and make informed decisions about your finances from investing to budgeting, saving and paying off debt, but you also get hands-on, real-time support for any questions or challenges you might have about navigating your money.

 

I can confidently say that there is nothing else like this out there.

 

So, if you’re ready to turn your first $1,000 into your first $100,000 and $1 million, and truly live your rich life, then you should already be inside SSS 😁.

 

Don't want to lift a finger? Sign up for the annual plan, and I will create your investing plan for you. You'll walk away with a shopping list of what to purchase; all you need to do is just hit BUY.

 

Doors close in less than 24 hours (Friday, June 20th at noon EST), so join now so you're all settled in before our classes start next Tuesday.

 

If you still have any lingering questions, just hit REPLY!

 

See you inside.

I'm ready for next Tuesday đŸ™ŒđŸŸ

ETF Portfolio Styles
Let’s be honest, a lot of y’all are holding way too many ETFs and still not getting the returns you should.   And it’s not your fault. You’ve been listening to every finance influencer on your timeline, collecting tickers like they’re PokĂ©mon cards, and now your portfolio is out here looking like a hedge fund.   Here's the thing: ETFs are pre-packaged securities, and the person who puts them to...
Common ETF mistakes that are hurting your returns
Before I get into it, do I have permission to drag you? Lovingly, of course.   If you’ve been learning about investing, by now you probably know that ETFs are the way to go.   But after reviewing hundreds of portfolios, I’ve seen a lot of investors, even the so-called seasoned ones, make the same mistakes when building their ETF lineup. These mistakes lead to slower growth and sometimes even lo...
Why willpower isn’t the key to managing your money
Let’s have an honest moment. If you’ve ever said, “I just need to be more disciplined with my money,” I want you to pause. It’s not that you lack discipline. It’s that you’re relying on willpower to do the job of a system, and willpower is a resource that runs out.   You might have days when you're on top of everything: budgeting, tracking, planning. But when life gets hectic (because it always...
