Go Curry Cracker authors clarified that saving multimillions took 16 years, not the 10 years stated in a previous article. This included 5-6 years to become debt-free, 10 years of aggressive saving, and an additional 3 years in retirement during a bull market.
“In the aforementioned article, it states that we saved multimillions in 10 years.”
“That isn't 100% true. It took five to six years to get out of debt. 10 years of saving like crazy. And another three years of being retired during a bull stock market to get there.”
“Those last three years of post-college work. Out of a total of 16. I was depositing my whole paycheck into the brokerage account.”
