Does anyone ever feel like they simply don't care whether they have 10000 or $1000000 in their bank account as long as you have enough to live? It's all just numbers on a screen, I have no way of quantifying it. I feel like I'm happy with my life now and I don't really care if I have more money to improve it. I feel stagnant, like I have no hunger or drive. Why?

Used too. Then I discovered how much Asian women (in asia) love white men, so I changed my entire life to spend as much time as possible balls deep, bareback in teenage asians. Need a decent amount if coin to keep the young ones around an old fart like me.

I just need enough in the bank to be able to manage $40-50k from a 4% annual withdraw rate. So, about 1.25 mil. Then I can quit my job, move to a low cost of living area and start dabbling in hobbies and shit that I don't have the time or energy to dabble in right now. And I'll just keep doing that until I die.

That's really all I want out of life, for my time to be my own, to have a pretty basic level of material comfort and to not be bothered by anyone. If I had millions more I wouldn't even know what to spend it on. Probably donate it to life extension research.

>> No.14118580

>>14118121
Yea I don't care about getting rich or traveling the world, even if I had millions I'd just be doing what I'm doing now just without the waging, and maybe living in my own place instead of an apartment.
Just want to be secure, maybe upgrade my computer every 3-4 years and cover internet/food/insurance.
Adding more 0s wouldn't mean much once I make it, except to make me feel even more secure.

I feel this exact way. All of these anons are like "is this $100,000 stack enough to make it?" on here. I'm just sitting here thinking if I could have 100,000 in crypto in the first place at this point in my life, I'd definitely have "made" it in my own eyes. Hell, even if I just had like 40-50k just sitting around somewhere.

Even 10k in link. I could cash that out right now and my life situation would improve dramatically.

>> No.14118736

As someone that made seven figures from Crypto in 2017, I can tell you something....
if you think anything major will change when you are considered a "millionaire" you will be sorely mistaken.
I made $345,000 from modest returns on my investments last year, and I still live in my mom's house in my bedroom I had since I was a little kid. Still got same laptop and same shitty chair, still browsing until I feel hopeless. It is a mental thing, money will not change anything.

How did you cash out 7 figures? I am assuming you transferred it to your bank account first to pay the capital gains taxes? Did the bank freeze your account when you transferred a huge sum of money?

I just see the number go up and go "okay, that's that much longer that I'll be able to survive if something fucked up happens and I lose my job". I get most of my happiness from making dumb shit on my computer, so it doesn't take a lot of money to please me and I end up saving almost 50% of my income. My goal is to save up about $3,000,000 so that I can shove it all into an index fund and just have an infinite modest income from it, because at that point I can quit my job and finally fully focus on making dumb but eventually good shit.

yes, because that's what it is. money, in all practical sense of the word, can just be equated to options. it enables you to do more things.
the basis of life, happiness, and fulfillment is and always be a battle of the self; an internal struggle that nobody escapes.
2017 taught me this well.
