Money corrupts?/Staying humble

[Anonymous No.25752334]

My portfolio recently hit 6 figures after a few months in this. I'm 22, in University, and my personal net worth is higher than pretty much all my colleagues combined.

Recently I feel like I've been acting pretty cocky and treating people like shit, even my close friends. I can notice myself doing it, I'm just becoming rude, pretentious and inconsiderate because I know I'm on another level. How can I humble myself before karma humbles me?

Depends where you live/want to live and what you consider to be "making it". In my city I can already buy cheap real estate, for me this is a significant step toward "making it", but of course I have loftier goals and eventually I hope to reach 7 figure heaven so I can retire.
I'm not at peace, nobody is at peace in crypto. It's volatile and none of us can be sure where our portfolio will be, even three months from now, and how we will deal with that. No peace until you cash out.

I know, I've no desire to flex on anybody, not even my best friends, to me flexing just ruins things because I like keeping my net worth my secret. Also even "best friends" can get butthurt hearing about money. I tried to convert some friends to crypto to no avail.
It's friends and strangers too. I treat friends like they're lower than me, and strangers as if they're literally children. It's kind of subconscious. I've always been a bit narcy but crypto gains just enhances my autism.

I think it builds a sense of self superiority, yes. I started my first software developer job in 2019, making $80k, then moved to one making $95k (+$6k 401k/HSA matching) this Oct.

I also realized, investing in stocks at 9% ann gains, compounding, I could retire to part time in 5 years, enough to cover expenses (very low) during that time, and nothing else, and after 5 more years growth, my funds would be at about $557k, and I could just straight retire, starting out pulling $1,500 each month, increasing by $150/month, annually, and then by 60, I'd be at $1.2 million, only have worked 5 years full time, 5 years part time, to achieve that.

The thought makes me cocky. Watching my 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA makes me cocky. $3,300 paychecks, while my friend makes minimum wage makes me cocky. Money definitely corrupts.

I think the solution to this is to use your money not just for yourself, but your friends and family, too. Buy an apartment building and fill it with friends, and just charge enough rent to cover cost of maintenance and taxes, or something.

I've never been cocky or 'flex', even after I became wealthy, so I don't know this advice will resonate with you. I've done shitty things, but not like what you've done.

You know why kids jizz their pants over action hero movies? Because they trigger biological urges to respect and imitate heroes. Why because it was the hero who had the courage to kill the bear and defend the weak. Christianity is the same thing does the samething. Have you even seen a hero movie or a religious text where the Hero flexes on the weak? No, they are the villians.

So try to be the hero, and be genuine, don't fake it. All humans are defined by their habits, and it's your choice if you want to be a hero or a villian.

Keep perspective. Remember that you haven't made it until you've hit 8 figures.

You've been corrupted because you've become complacent; you're not really that high up and your "colleagues" you shit-talk so much can overtake in a stroke of luck, or even just getting a better job than you out of college. Likewise, you can lose everything in a stroke of bad luck, and you'll have neither money nor connections if you keep up your shit attitude.

[Anonymous No.25757127]

Perhaps you should be realize that the money you have done is not due to your intelligence, but due to, primarily, a lot of luck. The last few months have been good for crypto investing, simply buying BTC 6 months ago and not doing would get 4x what you invested.
My advice is to realize that you just have been lucky. If you are not capable of that, just keep investing until you lose most or all the money you have done. That will teach you.

I was in a similar situation but once you get used to having that much money (and 100k isn't shit like everyone here already told you) you will settle down and look at things from a different perspective. Also realize that most of your success comes down to luck one way or another. Personally, most of my networth is in LINK and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been around biz in 2017 when anons were dedicating themselves to researching and I was able to take advantage of their hard work. If I was more of a normie or had some kind of obligations that would have prevented me from spending my days on biz I could have been in a much worse position than I'm in today.
