It could have gone a lot better or a lot worse. I'm glad I have this amount. For me making it in my country is €5k a month(very nice apartment, lifestyle etc). That means about €600k net worth. Maybe LINK will take me there. Currently I'm 19yo.

We are not talking about the MATIC order. Before you cashed out, you must have moved your funds to a fiat exchange most likely in the form of btc/eth. You can show this outgoing transaction from binance on a block explorer. If you don't, nobody is going to take your little larp thread seriously

It was never my impression that "made it" on biz means "self made" or that there is any judgement as to how the wealth was made when we got threads like "how make money from fuck prostitute etc" so I find it hard to hate this anon although of course it is superior to earn your wealth.

wow imagine being so retarded you are turned off by a relatively minuscule loan parents give a kid.

heaven forbid they give the kid two months of rent free living, sent them to daycare, preschool, paid for high school graduation, or even a semester of college

sorry to break it to you but in terms of childrearing costs, $1000 is pocket change. If my kids are wise/adventurous enough to even attempt investing in anything novel (even if its a scam like most cryptocoins)

they gonna learn more losing and paying me back than they ever will in school.

this isn’t like he got enough money to start a business or buy a commercial building,

this isn’t a small loan of a million dollars... this is a small loan of .001 million dollars,

I understand wealth separation is becoming a big deal and is on the rise.

but its parents like this who are going to see their kids make bank and avoid falling into poverty traps because they learned while they were still young.

imagine being a working mom and paying $1000/month for day care for your single kid.

No, for real, now I will just have one less thing to worry about, still got big dreams and plans for the future.
I realize it will be really tough, nice things are only achieved through hard work. Sounds normie? Well, it's the truth, no matter how much people here try to get rich without moving their fingers, it just won't work out for them.
As if anyone will get anything for free in this world. Even the trust fund kids have their own problems, believe it or not.
The only difference is that my parents are middle class, not poor.
But you've got experience under your belt right now, it's wasn't all for naught.
Just because you didn't have the luck that I had doesn't mean you won't achieve anything in life. Also doesn't mean I can't go poor at any given moment.

I got some "dreams" of my own as well. Mainly startup ideas. Making it from LINK will take some time and even with $1m+, I still would want to go ahead and create the startup ideas so might as well do them now. I even learned to code myself before uni and made the app. Now I need to contact some businesses for cooperation. It's weird, I've been in mentally tough situations before, but contacting a business feels so weird and unnatural. It's all in the mind I guess. Just gotta keep going and fix all problems that might arise.
