I need support since no one in my real life would be happy for me! 400k at 33.

I \[33F\] just reached my $400k milestone in investments.

I’ve lived very modest for most of my 20’s (possessions and rent lifestyle) and 10% was from inheritance after my grandparents passed.

I make a modest salary for my age ($60k) and am having a very hard time dating. Got out of a 8-year relationship at age 30 and had to learn who I was and rediscover myself. Never had a support system who truly wanted the best for me.

I had about 60% of this in cash at one point and almost bought myself a home, but then I made the hard decided to invest in the market instead.

This $400k milestone is not something I receive support from anyone in my real life, sadly.

There’s no guarantee any of my current family members are leaving me with anything and relying on them would mean sacrificing my own freedom and happiness.

I’m so proud of myself and while other things in my life are dull and I don’t have a support system in real life. I know investing isn’t always steady but I’m in it for the long haul.

I know that I’m doing the best I can to protect my future self in old age.
