Welcome to The Growth Focused Guy journey

Every January 1st, I’ll post a snapshot of my taxable brokerage account growth to demonstrate the impact of compounding and small contributions.

2024 portfolio: $30,564
2023 portfolio: $20,374
2022 portfolio: $15,368
2021 portfolio: $8,926
2020 portfolio: $3000


To be fully transparent with my journey to financial independence, here’s a screen shot of my current holdings.

Retirement accounts 

I have a traditional IRA account and a Roth IRA with Fidelity brokerage, and another set of traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs with my employer-sponsored retirement account.

In August 2020, I also opened my first Roth IRA with Fidelity.

Taxable Dividend Stock Portfolio

I started with Robinhood in January 2020 with a $3000 investment and have been steadily increasing my investment since then.
