You're just coming to the realization most of /biz/ came to in 2017.

Even if you make a million off of your crypto investments, you need about five or six before taxes to actually make it and quit your job.

The more you get, the less it means and the more you need. Until your sitting around with 400k in Link waging every morning because you need another 10x for financial freedom. Go back in time a few years and tell yourself you made 400k and you wouldn't believe it. But now it's a reality and you realize if you cash out that's only a decent house in Midwest America with nothing left over to live off. Maybe try cashing out a few grand and doing something cool with it.

had a similar thought today, went home from a 10 hour work day + 3 hour commuting (minimum wage).
looked at my portfolio, and saw i made more today than a months salary.

..still not enough to actually change my life (not working permanently).

I thought we had bigger dreams like buying a bunch of land in the country, or traveling and doing whatever you want to do. Buying a yacht.

If you just want to sit at home all day shitposting and eating McDonald's just go on welfare you don't even need to make it to have that kind of life.

You're right. I turned $3,000. Into about $310,000 in 2017 and realized this. My $36,000 salary at the time was no longer making a dent in my savings and I was losing/gaining 2x my salary daily. I have realized now that I can either focus on my career (I make $90,000 per year now) or I can rocus on making money, but not both. Everything you said is true though.

[Anonymous No.21316996]

>>21316543
I know what you mean, but I think many on /biz/ are not realizing there is a middle ground.

Pleb savings vs. $5-10 million dollars is a false dichotomy. There is a middle ground where you have $1-2 million dollars, but you do work not for paying the bills but either because it is something you enjoy doing or to just get more capital.

My plan is to reach a million and then work on something I am passionate about. There is a significant difference in mindset once you have fuck you money and you're no longer working to pay the bills.

Same here OP. Irl I'm a normie through and through. The second work ends I'm posting racist frogs on 4chan while making hundreds of thousands in weeks or less.

I'm in the exact same boat OP.

I've set myself some tier of goals, where one of the first ones will be to without debt get a place to live, them comfortably make my way to financials freedom.

Going from nothing to financial freedom is too harsh, you'll get scared and overwhelmed. You need to change your life step by step, so doing it step-wise is smart.

>So you're a temporarily embarrassed millionaire like every other american.

What price do you think Link will be in 2021? That will determine what I am.

>You are a fucking wagie. What, you expect them to roll out the red carpet?

No, but I know that if they happen to catch even a hint that I might be loaded, I know their demeanor will change 180 degrees. It's funny to know that I am withholding information that powerful (in the sense of how it can change their opinion of me) from them. It's a bit annoying when it comes to my managers though since they assume that they have "dominance" over me and treat me like so.

$1 million invested into normie ETFs will yield you $30-40k after capital gains taxes. that's enough to move to a small town, rent an apartment, and not have a job unless you feel like it.

Depends on your age and status as well. I have 200k left on my mortgage, 41 years old, 70k a year job. I could easily retire off 2 million after tax and live a satisfying life.

Nah, I mean, I've got over half a mil in company stock and so do most of the people who have been around as long or longer than me. The benefits of working for an employee-owned business for a decade are pretty good long term. They don't know about my link stack but they're all doing pretty well too.

This. People underestimate the power of the mind. Think about what you could accomplish if you took a year off to study whatever you want and then were able to throw hundreds of thousands of dollars into starting it up. And no I don't mean going to school "studying", but throwing yourself into deep research and having money to actually see things through.

I'm going to level with you here, no memeing. It's completely fine and natural to have fantasies about how people would respect you if you had xyz, or how badly you could humiliate someone who hasn't been friendly to you in the past, especially if you're an ambitious guy who's not currently where he wants to be in life. But once you had that moment of mental masturbation (which is what it is) you need to bring yourself back to reality. It's so important that you affirm to yourself that everything you're doing, the people you know at work, your trading, the fake smile you make to your manager after they give you some bulllshit task, the money you make; this is all just a vehicle that gets you where you want to be. It's ironic that you talk about powerful information, when clearly the opinion these people have of you effects you greatly. Again, this is normal. Getting a dopamine it after someone who once looked down on you now looks up to you feels good, but it's about as important as jerking off. Don't let other peoples opinions dictate that way you feel about yourself.

Right, which is why this will never leave the "mental masturbation" stage. I think I care about them because I am still contractually bound to work at this place, but like you said I shouldn't care about them because they are NPCs that I am never going to see again in my life after I leave.

[Anonymous No.21320213]

It's a bit ironic too because seeing my net worth go up has actually made me a better employee because of my self-confidence going up, so as I become less dependent on wagecuckery my perceived value in the company is going up lol
