I was over $200k for one day a couple months ago

Does it make you feel any less empty?

>>12121120
I have like $35k in debt.

>>12121166
not really no

>>12121120
I'm glad I'm not a 40 y/o single boomer who posts on a chinese meme generating board

If it's in stocks, houses, and cars, then it doesn't count until you liquidate son

just kidding of course because cash flow generation is a thing but seriously i have 125k liquid

>>12121186
its liquid

>>12121198
hngggg tfw when 200k sitting in a check account

you are in the top 5% of wealth owners globally, and most of those people are in that echelon due to temporary valuations of real estate and portfolios

i actually forgot to add what's in my HSA... i'm only $100 away
shrug

profession?

i worked at oracle for 5 years and was able to dickride a bunch of large sales deals to the government that resulted in exorbitant commissions

and then i got laid off and now i work overnight customer service and i'm cash flow neutral every single month RIP

>Been in debt for 3 years
>Still got 10k left to pay

Its never ending

Do you have any investments or property?

If I had that kind of cash, shit if I had 50k I’d at least try starting a small business

>>12121257
i'm a software engineer
i only make modest six figures but had a small retention bonus pay out after a start up i was working at was acquired
much of my money however was from working a white collar job while living with my parents for 3 years. i would recommend every college graduate do this.

>>12121212
checked

live in your car for 4 months making 2.5k net and youll be free

>>12121275
none, not even a 401k or stocks anymore. I cashed out in august and it was only 10k total at the time

i've considered starting my own emergency oil delivery/repairman service but even if I charge high prices, the regulatory and litigation risks are disgustingly high, such that even the largest company (Petro) is running profit margins of like 4%

Also considered being a landlord but houses are about 400-600k here in Nassau County and are in horrible condition in terms of maintenance

sexy, rent is the number one most horrific expense for any laborer. insurance, vices, and entertainment don't even come close. people probably spend 30-50% of their take home on rent and commuting

>>12121281
The wife and I did that after graduating, we were able to afford a down payment after 2 years

>>12121334
With that kind of cash you’re probably best off just waiting for the crash and buying cheap property, but who knows really

>>12121334
>Live in your car
I have a mortgage. I could live in my car, but it wouldnt save me any money unfortunately. Im saving about 1k a month at the moment. Could go a bit more, but I dont really want to have no life at all.

>>12121120
1. are you up or down
2. how is profits generated. thru wagecucking or trading

>>12121479
up or down from what? i had put 10k in crypto, rode it to 40k, and then back down to 10k, and cashed out even steven
i've lost during my lifetime probably at least 30k from stupid non-crypto investments, either from picking particular companies that i thought were undervalued or from bad choices in mutual funds
presently, now, only ~1k of my money is in equities

>>12121120
>200k being a dream and not a reality
>doesnt use a loo to do a poo

>>12121417
This damn crash needs to hurry up so I can close on a house in a liveable area (no thanks eastern kentucky) and get some halfway reliable tenants to pay my mortgage and taxes!!

>>12121444
rent out some bedrooms or build (and zone) a cottage?
