once you hit 1 million the money starts compounding pretty well and you are less stressed about how your portfolio is doing so you just let it do and don't do stupid stuff like move it around when the market flutters. thoughts? experiences?

Yea, but watch your overhead and reserves. Dipping into it will really set you back.

Do not decide that you’re wealthy now and then start spending too much. And don’t fail to maintain cash reserves for normal life events. Don’t dip into that brokerage account.

good point.

I think stuff like this gets easier though, as you get to that million. you feel less pressure to "over" save... so you maintain a healthy reserve and never need to touch it. basically ur at the point where you can completely forget you have the million in the bank and let it compound.

I logged into my brokerage account today for the first time in over a year to check my 401K balance for that other thread. My bank lets me yeet money over and into an ETF with a single click, which I do every month or two when the reserve cash drifts above what I think is needed.

Probably +30% in appreciation plus maybe another 10% in new cash flow I’d put in. The last time I checked it was in November 2023 when I did some tax loss harvesting.
