I’m 25, have only 55k in cash and only a 14k mutual fund. I’m afraid to see old classmates and relatives because I’m poor and not successful, would I be able to see them if I had 250k? Or is it embarrassing to not be a millionaire by 25?

I'm a loan officer for a mortgage lender. I have the seen the financial details for thousands of people. No joke, if you have a savings account and a 401k you are doing better than 90% of the population. There are successful people on this board but also a lot of LARPers.

Having some money in the bank and some money invested already puts you on better footing than your peers.most of them are drowning in student loan debt, cc debt, and car loans. Most of them probably have no more than a couple grand in the bank.

According to this I’m below average for my age and education level (bachelors degree).

When you factor in the number of unemployed people, the fact that half of any age group is women, and the fact that only about half of my age group are white, then you must realize that the average white male is roughly in the 90th percentile for any age group, so as a white male in the 25-29 category with a bachelors degree I am actually far below average.

Think about it like this:

If you’re comparing your net worth to the rest of your age group, you are comparing it to
1. Women (50% of the population)
2. Blacks/Hispanics (40% of young population)
3. The unemployed (10% of young population)

So if you’re a white male, the AVERAGE should be at least 90th percentile for your age group, if you’re not 90th percentile for your age group you’re below average as a white male.

Hey retard, if 50% are women, 40% are black/hispanic, and 10% are unemployed, you can't add those numbers up to get the average percentile of white males. First of all, not all blacks/hispanics are below all whites, not all women are below all men, and not all unemployed are below all employed. Second of all, there are members of the population that overlap multiple of those groups. And only if you're from Reddit will you assume that they overlap uniformly (hint, they don't - blacks are more likely to be unemployed than whites). Anyway let's assume they overlap uniformly, and that all whites are higher than all non-white, and that all men are higher than all women. That puts the average male at 1-(1-0.5)(1-0.4)(1-0.1)=0.73 -> 73%. Now pair that with the massive assumptions we made before the calculation and you should realize the average white male won't be much higher than 50th percentile. I give it 60th at best.

I feel like things are just different in america maybe with the numbers they throw around
But in the UK i know several people who are "doing well" jobs-wise at around 27-30 who have < 10k in the bank despite working at "good jobs" for > a couple of years
The only people i know who have even kind of good money by this age are the people who are still living with their parents desu or were in the military for a few years. Not having to pay rent really adds up.
tbf the only people i know who even touch financial stuff really other than me are those whose parents did stocks n stuff too

You're doing really well for 24. When we pre-quality people for loans we ask about liquid assets (checking, savings, retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, really any type of depository account). Many people have nothing. It's not uncommon for me to have borrowers who have only a few hundred in checking and savings. The majority dont have any retirement accounts and MAYBE 5% have any kind of brokerage or money market account. Also many people have shitty credit. The bar for being better off financially than the average person in America is astronomically low. If you keep on your current track and maybe get a higher paying job you'll be in great shape.

I think if by age 35 you don't own at least one property, an average car, and have a million in the bank that it's pretty embarrassing. I'm 29, and not even close. But I did manage to at least buy a modern apartment and a 2019 Toyota Corolla Sedan this bullrun. The property is worth $317'000 and the car was only around $15'000 so that's not too bad. Problem is, I only have around $90'000 left in crypto after this. I don't t think I'll make it this bullrun, but with some luck, I might make it by the next one. Very fine line between failure and making it from where I'm standing right now. I have to go back to wage slaving in another three months if the bullrun is over. Was able to quit and live of staking rewards from December 2020 until currently, but it seems like things are slowing down to the point that I have to go back to working as a Sys Admin until the next big run if things don't pick up again by June 2021.

No, I never turn them away for two reasons.

1. I dont get paid if I dont close loans. I hate that my job forces to me to act and think this way but there is so much competition for the borrowers who have good financial situations (most borrowers shop lenders) that you have to have the sketchy ones as cushion for when the good ones go elsewhere.

2. Most people are in less than ideal circumstances. Living on a razor's edge is pretty much the norm for a lot of people, if I turned them away there would be very few borrowers left. I sometimes wonder about the future of this country financially. Most people have no savings or investments, many working people won't receive social security, gen x might, millenials probably won't.

You're a contractor, how is your income taxed? 1099? Schedule C? How long have you been contracting and have you declared taxes on it the whole time? If we cant prove income this is dead.

Crypto will be hard to use as an asset, theoretically it can be used, the heD of our underwriting dept has told us not to use it, this may not matter depending how your assets are distributed.

For the type of construction you are referring to, where you do it in land you already own, the builder will want some sort of collateral up front. Whether it's money up front or you temporarily deeding the land to the builder during the construction process. The money gets doled put in 'draws' to the builder during the construction process. My company wouldn't do a loan of only $50k, that would be another obstacle you would face.

They won't necessarily deny if the entire job isn't done through one outside contractor but an appraisal will be required at the end.

1099. About a year, I pay tax on it. I have an accountant so that's all I know
>ou could mortgage the land and use the equity to build the home outright if that's what you mean
So how I would prefer to do this is to mortgage the land so I own it and can build on it but still have my money to use for construction. I plan to pay for all the construction outright. I just would rather not be totally stanked buying both the land and all the construction in whole.
I know you don't do land, but what is a typical minimum amount that you'll lend?
Another way to do this I've thought about is to get a new home construction loan for say $150k, then use those funds to buy the land and finance construction. But I don't know if this is even possible

The pressures of social media has falsely created a whole generation of 'rich kids'.

It's all a fallacy.

I agree. Glad I became a millionaire by 12.

Even black kids are doing it:

I'm turning 30 in a few months, and I have right around 300k USD in various assets. I was a depressed NEET for four years though, so I got started late. If things go well, hoping to be a millionaire by around 35.

Making money made me realize that money is pointless if you have under 100m, under 100m an x amount of money is pretty much equal to 0 in terms of purchasing power in the west.

what a dumb post, having one million dollars in net worth means being in the upper 1% of the global population

>> No.29959295

It strikes me how easy it is to make money nowadays, and still the mayority of people choose to wage cope everyday, having a respectable high paying job to support your family is good, but some genuinely young smart guys choose to work manual slave labor jobs for years and they don't have to support a family, is it laziness?

I guess if you started at biz young, you'd probably become a millionaire by then. I'm currently 24. I got lucky and made 400k starting with 15k in 2018 using savings from my internship and selling the car my dad gifted me when I got college scholarship. Invested about 1-2k a month in crypto since then. First posted about it here: >>/biz/thread/S28660361#p28675041

In less than a month since posting it though it went from 400k to 310k. Most of the losses were from chainlink and eth. For the next few months I'm adding SAV3, IOTA, TRDL, RSR, DFT, and UNN to my portfolio

Yea
1. You're a loser for comparing dick sizes, be it physical or financial.
2. All your friends are not millionaires that's a statistically proven fact.

Money ain't everything champ, live a little and risk a little and don't forget to it and do what you love.

DINK couples are just tragic narcissists who want to buy and do whatever they want because everything has to be about them. Ever met a DINK couple that didn't own like 3 designer dogs and live in a inner city townhouse, while they guzzle wine and pretend to be 'satisfied as a dog mum'?
