I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.

It's time for some money rehab.

Today, we're talking about a magic milestone in investing, your first 100K.

Now, some of you might have already hit that number.

And if so, incredible.

Please pat yourself on the back for me because it is the hardest financial finish line you will ever cross.

For others listening, 100K might feel impossible.

possible.

But please know this, you can do it and it only gets easier from here.

I wish someone had told me this at 18.

Your first 100k is the hardest money you will ever make the next 100k way easier and the 100k after that even easier.

And when I say it gets easier, I'm not talking about fuzzy, squishy feelings.

I mean, mathematically, it gets easier.

So today I'm going to show you how to hit your first 100K, even if you're earning the average US salary, which is right around 64K right now.

We're also going to build a real life doable five year plan to get you there.

You can, of course, scale up or down based on your timeline, but I'm giving you five years as a baseline.

And just to be clear, this is not going to happen with luck.

This also won't happen with a hot stock tip.

And it won't happen because your cousin Chad is really into crypto right now.

This happens because of strategy, consistency, and I'll be honest, some compromise.
