anyway, yeah I'll be a big man and admit that it's a very aggressive min-max type of scenario that I described

but you guys are intentionally missing the point or something? because the entire point was what was said about median income not being enough to save like Godnorgosh has been able to

it absolutely fucking is, in not even that unreasonable a situation for a student who has their head right and isn't just fucking around wasting time lol. is that so hard to ask or to see? $32k/year working part-time is achievable right now where I'm at.

With online school or trade schools being affordable or even free if you're an apprentice somewhere lol.
You'll be a "big man" by admitting you're full of shit but in the most cowardly way by pretending it's merely a "very aggressive min-max type of scenario". No, it's a bullshit scenario that shows a childish understanding of life.

$32k/year is almost the median personal income in the US and you're saying that it's so easy to achieve that working part-time?: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

I am following my own advice and yes it is working and yes the timeline of what I said is achievable at the current rate unless the world ends soon lol. I don't know if I have more than you but I'm not sharing my net worth first if that's what you're asking lol.
What are you afraid of?

pure_temper posted...
yes i do know startups. and most of them will fail and most founders need to try more than once to succeed, but serial failures don't just get unlimited funding without strings the way you seem to think. show me where this magic money is lol, i've been in Silicon Valley before lol.
You misread my post because I was talking about parents with resources acting as a cushion for their children, allowing them to fail as many times as they want. I said nothing about investors giving unlimited funding without strings.

Lmao. No

https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/2871-how-most-millionaires-got-rich.html

88% of millionaires in this country were not born into wealth. Get a clue
Do you even read the trash you post? Let's take a look at it, shall we? From your link:
"A study by Fidelity Investments found that 88% of millionaires are self-made millionaires."

"study by Fidelity Investments" is a link that goes to: https://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/on-retirement/articles/7-myths-about-millionaires

In that link: "A 2017 survey from Fidelity Investments found that 88 percent of millionaires are self-made." (emphasis mine)

Yeah, what a surprise that a *survey* of millionaires has them mostly thinking they're self-made. Get out of here with your jokes, funny man.

lol put your money where your mouth is then, don't just publicly puff it out and run away from a private conv via PMs
You're the one putting out the simple plan that guarantees becoming a millionaire by 30 and yet you couldn't provide a simple confirmation as to whether you followed this plan you set out for everyone else to follow. The matter isn't whether I have more money than you or not.

pure_temper posted...
uh most people who are serial failures in startups are not going to solicit more investment, you are describing scenarios that are not even the norm. just the edge case. and trying to use the edge case to justify a broad narrative against the efficacy of saving and investing. it's just silly lol. it's self-made. they build businesses that provide value to customers in the form of cool stuff people want to buy.

yeah we can always come up with edge cases but we don't reinvent society or make generalizations about "bootlickers" because of edge cases lol

i mean you know this, right?
You obviously don't know startup culture very well. Then again, you don't know many things very well, as you've spectacularly demonstrated in this topic repeatedly.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/26/majority-of-the-worlds-richest-people-are-self-made-says-new-report.html

The market research firm analyzed the state of the worlds ultra-wealthy population or those with a net worth of $30 million or more. The report, which is based on 2018 data, showed muted growth in the number of ultra-wealthy people that year, rising by 0.8% to 265,490 individuals, says Wealth-X.

Of those folks, 67.7% were self-made, while 23.7% had a combination of inherited and self-created wealth. Only 8.5% of global high-net-worth individuals were categorized as having completely inherited their wealth.
Again "self-made" is dodgy. Based on the text, it looks like you're self-made as long as you didn't inherit the money, but some clown getting his way paid through an elite school and receiving a "small loan" of a million dollars, free to fail in as many ventures as they want until they make it is "self-made".

PsychoVision posted...
thats not self made. You're confusing privileged rich kids for self made lol. Stop it. Thats an entirely different category.
It's not self-made, yet it's often counted as such. That's my point.

saving and investing works, people have to apply themselves over the long run and learn new skills too.

yeah catastrophic shit can happen to people, but that's why we bolster safety nets. we don't stunt the processes or businesses that are creating innovation and giving us awesome new products/services by teaching a generation of young people from the get-go that they're screwed unless regressive left ideologues can decide how to redistribute all the profit lol

You speak of work and yet you couldn't even be arsed to read my post. If you had, you'd know I'm well on my way to escaping the rat race. "Self-made" is really dodgy, especially when a lot of these "self-made" millionaires had parents giving them loans in the hundreds of thousands.

dude I'm really disappointed that you didn't do the basic math

$22/hour at UPS for 30 hours a week right now would get me about $32,000 in a year. With grants and some reasonable student loans for a good skill/trade, living at home or with family/roommates you can stash away most of that money and finish school w/ work experience and money already by 22-23. at least $50,000 if disciplined.

7 years of piling on with much more than $22/hour after that education is done, on top of $50k gaining interest for 7 years...yeah, definitely could be. And certainly by 40.
Is this the strategy you used to become a millionaire at 30?

i have a hard time believing he makes six figures judging by his shitty posts on this subject in the past, and general affinity towards regressive leftist ideas on capital and property and working and individual rights.

save up more and invest more and you won't have to worry about never finding employment, as long as you stay up to date on learning and don't become one of those people who just tries to coast on the coattails of the productive people on the team lol
Judging by my posts in the past? Your first reply to me makes it clear that you don't even know what my past posts are.

Saving and investing is no guarantee of security, especially given the meagre amounts that most people are even able to muster. Lots of clowns on the internet think they're hot shit because their investments made them significant money during the longest bull run in US history. The bull run has only been interrupted for about a month before it went right back into recovery and then greatly surpassed the drop after a few months during a once-in-a-century pandemic. Like I said, some people are benefiting from the trickle, but things can easily turn sour.

The aversion some of you have to work is ridiculous. People work for themselves and their family.

If anything, people need to stop bragging about being a lazy sack of shit that don't contribute to society at all. Just sitting there mooching and criticizing "wage slaves "
As if the clowns on wall streets making money off of money are contributing to society. Making lots of money doesn't mean you're contributing to society. In fact, those making the most money are the biggest drains on society.

don't you think all profit is like theft and that having a manager means you're being exploited and they're an evil boss and shit? like your entire ideology is basically built around that as a foundational view, right?

so it's not really meaningful for you to make this post, because no matter what you'd basically always be primed to just repeat the same shit no matter what, until you challenge that foundational view to see if it makes sense or if it's just cultish BS lol
I don't know where you got all this from, but you've missed the mark completely. You're already primed to argue with a strawman. Calm down.

Lmao look at this guy and his buzzwords. If being a bootlicker means i get to retire early and wealthy by all means call me a bootlicker. Smart people plan for their future 20, 30 years ahead. Working overtime, investing, business, work ethic all contribute to your future.

Beats complaining to your boss that you don't wanna work extra hours because you rather sit in front of your Xbox all day
Your post is essentially: "if I get lucky enough to win in this system, then fuck everyone else because I got mine."

I'm well on my way to retire early and wealthy, but that doesn't mean I can't see the flaws in the system. Apparently this is too difficult for you to understand. Good luck on your little "hustle".

Depends. If you "invest" in meme stocks, penny stocks, highly volatile assets, and the like, then panic selling is not necessarily a bad thing, because it can become a huge loss very quickly. Of course, it'd be better to panic sell while you're still making money.
