There really isn't. I'm in my 40's, a retired millionaire, and I drive a 2005 with almost 300k miles on it. I keep it impeccably maintained and don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about it. Look, if you really think it's about the car, and not getting respect from other people, then go buy it. After six months you'll feel just the same about the new car as you did your old car. Then you'll start looking at shit that's nicer, and the cycle will repeat. It's just a giant ladder, with no top.

Because high-skilled people are competitive, and no competitive people want their salary to be the same as the lazy piece of shit working next to them.

This. We aren't meant to be permanently happy. You suffer in order to get what you want, you are momentarily happy, then you want some other shit. Rinse, repeat for 70 or 80 years, then death. It boggles my mind that more people don't seem to realize this, and spend their whole lives thinking there will be some happy plateau, once they get that new job/car/spouse. I think you are better off spending your time and effort on reducing your suffering, which money really helps with, to a certain point.

Boomer here. I worked hard, went to college, owned my own business, made fat stacks. It’s not worth it. Got fed up with everything, sold my shit and had barely enough to retire in the middle of nowhere in a literal trailer. Life is 100X better chilling out, playing vidya, reading books, and browsing 4chan. Try and get some friends, but otherwise you aren’t missing out. If you want to feel worthwhile, start getting good at something, but not to make money. Making money is the most brutal competition there is, and once you have it, you’ll see that everyone is fighting each other so they can drive a Mercedes instead of a Honda. It’s stupid.

This is the brainwashing I'm talking about. You've watched too much TV telling you that what you have is not enough. Even the poorest people in the western world have access to enjoyment that kings of the past could only dream of. The problem is inside of us and more money will not solve it.

You have a good credit score so you can probably get approved by a bank and then shop the dealerships. If you rely on the dealership for a loan, you will simultaneously be negotiating the loan and the vehicle, which exponentially increases your risk of getting fucked over. You will probably not get as good of a rate from the bank, but it will allow you to shop as though you were paying cash, which will save you more than you lose. If you want to have a big dick and show off your fancy truck to everyone, just head to the dealership and buy something new. If you want to drive cheaply, buy a private party used truck. Sales tax will be ~7% savings right off.

Same here OP. I sometimes think I was happier when I didn’t think about anything but busting my ass to get more money. Sometimes I think we are a race of slaves and that freedom causes mental illness.

Hmmm, I've purchased 5 properties and am working on my sixth and never heard of those things. I think the seller would be very unhappy if prospective buyers had to pay $1000 before they could even make an offer. Are you sure this is right?

Just short this fucking top with 100x leverage. Thank me later.

I wanna fuck the brapper model. I have money. How do we make this happen?

I never knew this until in group therapy every agreed that they saw me as arrogant. I'm introverted and anxious.

I can make all the money in the world, but I'll never go return to the world as it was.

The only reason we had the 2017 bulll run was bevause of ETH bringing something new to the table that excited people.

Not even the scam ICOs slowed the bull run.

What killed the bull run was the crypto kitties. It showed the limits of ETH and that a silly game with small on global level userbase managed to bring it on its knees.

Rest was inertia that run out DECEMBER/January.

>There is no project as inovative as ETH was right now. That why there is no bull run

There is no new or upcoming project to shatter what crypto was like ETH. There nothing to rally and excite the masses.
Until there is we ain't going anywhere.

How long on average do you keep a coin until you sell it?

What would you do if it went South? What's your exit strategy if it moves in the opposite direction? At what point do you cut loss? How long would you wait until you cut loss?

there's a whole lot of newfags itt.
you know who you are. you have to go back.

your parents might just be based af, *telling* you to get your shit together and live with no expectations, then actually leave everything behind for you.
could be that they are disappointed and want to motivate you to do better for yourself.
or you're getting fucking nothing, hell do i know

Kind of, yes.
People I care about are losing though. It makes my victories taste less good. I want others to win with me.

There is always an element of subjectivity when valuating a company. Hopefully the valuation and purchase decision is done by someone who is sane and has the shareholders best interest in mind.

I own shares in a holding company which is valued at 0.85 times the current market price of its assets. From my perspective share buybacks are basically printing money because the stock is valued under the current market price of its assets.

If the stock traded over the market price of its assets I wouldn't want the company to buy back shares. I hope my ramblings provoked new ideas in you :)
