Net Worth Update on 26th Birthday

In partnership with

On Monday I turned 26. As my goal has always been transparency, I wanted to give you an update on my investment accounts and what they are currently valued at.

I started posting on social media back in 2020 and I remember my first net worth update was around $40,000. Since then, pretty much every milestone, I have shared my account values to hopefully inspire others to start their journey. A few days ago I turned 26 & on X I posted my net worth update with some money tips. In this newsletter today, I want to share more of a breakdown of how my accounts are split up.

Make Your Money a Multitasker.

With Betterment's expert-built ETF portfolios, you’re automatically diversified across thousands of stocks and bonds at once. These expert-built portfolios are designed to help reduce risk, regardless of what’s happening in the market.

Here is a picture of my overall net worth:

How is this split up? 

ETFs: These are by far my largest place I put my money. Recently due to the crypto run up, my ETF % has decreased, but I would love to get this back to 70%+.

Crypto: Most of this is in Bitcoin. Due to the recent run up, this has grown drastically in terms of % of my net worth.

Robinhood: This is my fun portfolio. It used to have ~$60,000 in it but due to some good stock picks (so far) there has been a huge increase in value of this account.

Non-Stock: This is things like a nice watch I have, my truck etc. Very minimal amount, but I do include it since so many people told me I should haha.

I have always been an advocate of foundation first, so that is why I focused a ton on building up a solid amount in ETFs before getting into other places. Now that I have my ETFs built to a solid amount at my age, I have been able to take on higher risk assets to try to grab some higher returns. So far those have been turning out well, but always downside risk.

My goal is to get to $700,000 by 27. Not sure if it will happen, but it could. I will update every step of the way 🙂
