I’m clearly more proud of my high-income investments. My peers generally feel “6% a year passive income over 10 years … only 60% profit over 10 years… Too low too slow.”

I asked only a few peer investors. I can only assume that most of my friends in my cohort are not debt-free. I feel most of them are not only dreaming but aiming at a 200k->$500k-1M windfall, over 5-10Y. My wife might be one of them.

Q: So how much risk capital are they committing for that target windfall? 100k? 200k?

Q: is that level of return realistic? I guess only tech stocks and BTC can deliver 30%/Y compound return, usually low growth, low growth … short bursts of high growth.

I don’t want to overthink this question, since it affects only them, not me.

Q: Did I ever aim at that target and how did I decide to stop?
A: perhaps I was never so ambitious so hungry for windfall, after I become an investor.
