Don't Worry About Other People's Net Worth

When you look at social media,
posts like "Reached 10 million yen in assets"
or "Reached 100 million yen in assets"

often appear.

Of course, achieving those milestones is wonderful. But if seeing those numbers makes you feel down, I think it's best not to worry about them.

Because looking at someone else's net worth won't increase your own.

What you should use as a reference is not the amount, but the process of how that person built their assets.

How much did they save each month?
What kind of cost-cutting did they do?
How long did they keep it up?

There is value in learning from that.

On the other hand, if you only look at the results, you tend to just feel anxious, thinking, "I'm still nowhere near that."

In the first place, everyone's income, family structure, and available time are different. Even with the same 10 million yen, the background is not exactly the same.

That is why comparing only the numbers doesn't have much meaning.

Investing and asset building are not a competition; they are meant to improve your own life.

You were able to continue investing without being swayed by daily stock price fluctuations.

That alone is enough progress.

Rather than being swayed by someone else's net worth, it is far more beneficial to look for what you can learn from their actions.

Someone else's net worth is the result.

What you can imitate is the process.
