>biweekly paycheck: $1540, not contributing to a retirement account

im a turbomanlet. its making me miss out on business opportunities. for example i was orbiting around 2 people i know while they were talking about business and because i was orbiting they just began distancing themselves more and more. i am a pretty interesting and funny person (jester and intellect maxxing) but in the end i just walked off but now a couple months later they have a successful business raking in 5 figures... i couldve been apart of that and made money. i didnt think being a turbomanlet is this bad...

>salary: $63,000

when will a sudden change happen? will it happen when crypto makes me rich? will i become a ruler one day or a powerful money-mover? will i have impact or destined to be a forgotten manlet? i dont mind being a villain if it means i will at least be known

I listened to my parents and became a mechanical engineer

>only $118,000 in cash, $13,750 in a mutual fund, and a measly $3,000 in crypto
>everyone else my age bought the bottom of the Nasdaq dump and is currently enjoying astronomical gains from the resurgence of meme stocks

>3 years of experience
>salary: $58,000

i didn't take the last bull run seriously because i'm a welfare fag. this year i worked and put all my money + savings into crypto but it's still only 8.5k invested. i'm already up 20% but there is no way this cycle will be enough for me. i'll need another 2. i have 170 avax, 2 eth, and 1 shitcoin
