1337toothbrush 05/28/21 11:44:09 PM #133 | pure_temper posted... anyway, yeah I'll be a big man and admit that it's a very aggressive min-max type of scenario that I describedYou'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 --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 11:39:08 PM #131 | pure_temper posted... 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. --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 11:32:12 PM #129 | PsychoVision posted... Lmao. NoDo 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. --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 11:27:18 PM #127 | pure_temper posted... lol put your money where your mouth is then, don't just publicly puff it out and run away from a private conv via PMsYou'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.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. --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 11:16:59 PM #118 | pure_temper posted... i'm happy to compare my finances and strategies with yours in private after you share yoursA simple "no" would've sufficed lol. I'm not interested in your little dick measuring contest. pure_temper posted... https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/26/majority-of-the-worlds-richest-people-are-self-made-says-new-report.htmlAgain "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. --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 11:06:00 PM #105 | PsychoVision posted... Lol lucky. Do you realize how many self made millionaires live in this country? How many entrepreneurs the us pumps out? None of it is luck. Its work. Stop making excuses for you having zero motivation to escape the rat raceYou 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. --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 10:59:27 PM #97 | pure_temper posted... 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.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. --- |

People work for themselves and their family.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. --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 9:41:41 PM #77 | pure_temper posted... 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?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. PsychoVision posted... 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.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". --- |

1337toothbrush 05/28/21 8:10:37 PM #275 | kage_53 posted... Honestly, if you panic sell, you shouldnt invest in stocks...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. --- |

Wonder what happens when a currency that isn't even spent like a currency because it deflates at like 500% per year and whose value is entirely based on speculative investing by individuals who are able to skirt investment tax laws are suddenly subjected to investment tax laws and regulation?Hmm, that's a tough one. Using my big brain and thinking about it for a long while, I assume it jumps up in price because it's the future of currency. --- |
