First off, $100,000 invested is a big deal. Only 22% of Americans have reached this number. So give yourself a huge pat on the back. I know that it took a lot of dedication and consistency to get to this point, but you may also know in the back of your head that $100K is not enough for you. And a lot of people in your situation don't have a lot of people they can talk to about how to grow that money more. Nobody wants to hear from someone with $100K in the bank. Boo-hoo. Mr. Mrs. $100Ks, life is so difficult. It's taboo to talk about money, especially when we're talking about amounts like this. But the reality is that $100,000 is just a starting point for a lot of people to get to the levels they want. And what got you to this point may not get you where you want to go. This is not about trying harder. It's not about using a fancier budgeting app. It is about building a smarter plan that matches the level you're playing at now.
