UK (London)

£40k annual, age 25
£3k emergency fund in S&S (3 months rent + food)

I'm probably in the top 35%-30% of my peers earnings wise (went to top university). Feel perfectly comfortable on £40k in flat share, think I'll be happy in the medium-term on something around £60k as that will allow me to live on my own if I wanted to, but will most likely keep flat sharing as I'm pretty sociable and want to save as much money as possible.

Oh good lord. You know what you and your wife will be eating for the next while? Rice and beans. You also need to divest that equity and put it in a savings account earning .05 % interest for a six month emergency fund. Also be sure to pay off the smallest debt load first regardless how high the interest is on the other loans.

Lol. I never believe a single fucking post on this site.
>>27640851
This seems believable. But otherwise I am disinclined to believe every poster has 10s of thousands of dollars laying around and billions in crypto.

I’m only 24 man it’s not hard. Started with about $500 to my name out of college, no debts luckily because of a scholarship. I never got into crypto until late last year though so I never had any moonshots like many on /biz/ did, but I’ve got this in my savings and like 30k in my boomer Roth 401k

Actually writing this down feels so bad, I'm finally opening up a crypto account and am gonna dump 5k into Bitcoin and 5k into silver (I am a 28yo boomer)

£55k
£25k Cash/Crypto/Index Funds

I live on my own in London, cost of living each month is around £2k, I take home just over £3k. If my shitcoins can take off and 10x then I'll have roughly £70k after all taxes are paid and I'll quit my job. Current job (Consulting) means I can't do any freelance work or develop anything that the business thinks would be competition to them (Technology...so fucking anything).

Plan is to make some bank, quit, start freelance consulting, do some travelling, try out some ideas through the lean method and join a startup if it goes tits up. Corporate wage slave life stressing over things that will not impact anyone in a meaningful way, nor will be remembered in a year, is a depressing life.

My income will go up about 20k a year for the next few years. High COL area and we rent. Im too risk averse to do anything with the TFSA so I just let it grow in HISA and mutual funds. Not sure if I should aggressively pay off the low interest debt (could do so in about 2.5 years) or pay off minimum and invest the rest. I know what Dave would tell me.

1) Start a Roth IRA with Vanguard and invest your money in one of their target retirement funds.

or

2) Invest in a DOW index fund.

Both are safe investments, but 1 is safer than 2.

the reason why you felt the need to post this is you are insecure about your own financial position. you have a retarted car payment, because you don't want an "unreliable car". you have a credit card and buy tons of needless things with it, but then feel good looking at your goy score and cash back rewards.

you will never pay off your house and student loan and you will be poor your entire life.

Having savings is a meme.

Invest 100% of your paycheck with index funds (not meme stocks, crypto, etc) and if you need to spend money use margin loans at 1%.

Easiest way to make it
