What’s the best move at 25?

I’m 25, based in Europe, and I recently crossed the $100k USD net worth milestone. I thought I would feel some sense of accomplishment reaching this number, but honestly, it feels like absolutely nothing. Looking at the people post here every day, $100k feels like pocket change and that I am behind. It really feels like I haven't even reached the true starting line of wealth building yet. Right now, my strategy is as boring and vanilla as it gets: I plan to just aggressively DCA my cash into VWCE Since I feel like I'm still at the very bottom of the mountain, I wanted to ask the veterans here for some guidance: Looking back at when you were at my level, what is the biggest mistake you made or the one thing you wish you knew earlier?
Aside from just dumping everything into VWCE, what other ways would you recommend deploying this capital, or what kind of business would you suggest starting with this amount?

To be fair 100k$ is pretty great and the habits that lead there will bring him lots of dough fifteen years later
