Does anyone have a long term investment success story?

Hi Gang,

Im a first generation American, my parents came here has immigrants in the early 80's from a 3rd world country(Guyana) i hear their stories about how eggs were a luxury to get and eat, most of their food came from trees or rice/flour. They never knew much about investing other than 401k, recently i found out my dad crossed the 1M line in his 401k at age 60; hes been contributing since the 80's. Im really proud of him.

For me i try to max out my employer 401k match, max my roth ira and put about $300 a month into a personal brokerage account. By my calculations i should cross the 1MM mark in about 15-17 years. Before 50 :)

I want to hear everyone else success story how has your life changed from long term investments. How do you keep motivated? What was crossing the 1MM line feel like? Any first generation Americans?
