If you were in your 20s how would you invest to be financially free in yours 40s?


Im 24 and somewhat diversified in my stock portfolio. Its mostly tech stocks, and recently starting buying into lithium stocks (thoughts?). I also have recurring investments into a couple ETFs like Vanguard and S&P, as well as Nasdaq. I plan to contribute $200 or so monthly to these, as my ¨safety net¨ for ultra retirement at 60+, and then using another $300 or so a month for more riskier, high reward stocks that i hope in 15-20 years will see me retired in my 40s comfortably. Im hoping my lithium stocks, and my tech stocks of course, are going to help me get there.
I started investing in 2020, yet have gained a net loss because of the pandemic and tom foolery that has gone on. Yet, I have not sold, and in the past year im up 39% and am learning more and realizing you can make riskier investments without being a total idiot and investing blindly. Now, I research more and try to invest in stocks I think will have genuine impact on the world. (To be honest, the only stock Ive come up with outside of the standard tech stocks have been lithium stocks).
I currently have $37k invested and have another $10k to play around with or use wisely to contribute to this fund.
I just feel a little anxiety over having such a good oppurtinity at my age I really dont want to miss a chance at using the money I have now to set myself up to sit pretty in 15 years.
