Those experiences are worthless anyway. Quit the zogbot mentality already. Getting face shitted and fucking univ whores every weekend will never make you a better man.

Studying philosophy and history, meditating, helping others, being honest with yourself, keeping your dignity in the face of adversity, that's what make you a better person.

300k after taxes is 150k, you’d spend 25k a year on housing, you’d spend 10k a year on food, 5k a year on utilities (phone, internet, electricity), 5-10k a year on miscellaneous (gym, haircuts, car shit, hobbies.

That leaves you with 100k to invest, I don’t see the issue.

If you never take risks, never take the “leap of faith”, never move out of the comfort zone, never try to do things differently, fail, try again, learn, fail again, try again, push, risk again, explore continents, destroy your preconceptions, attempt things you currently think you will never be able to do, it’s obvious you are ngmi
You make it not when you have 3M in your bank account, but when you are ready to risk them all, and be confident enough you can make them again and again cause of the experience, the network and the skills you made
You can make 3M in your basement living with your parents, without touching a single pussy, never making kids, just playing vydia and rotting your brain, fine, but what a waste of life
You think you can always get a gf and get married, but if your body count is not at least mid double digits you are gonna get exploited big times cause you lack the experience to manage a girl, imagine a wife…
Basement knowledge is purely theoretical, you can study all books you want, but until you move your ass and make mistakes in real life you will never learn

but...your brain will start to rot pretty fast
it's great never have to go back to the wagie cagie but you still have to do something, you can't just stop, your mental abilities will collapse
so i took retirement money and i'm trying to open two businesses, i learned more about global taxation, geo/jurisdictional arbitrage, how to move money, how to hide assets, how to make a business plan, how to make a pitch (i'm a techie and never had those skills)

2bdr luxury apartments are 4kish. so you can certainly afford that on 300k salary...

but the real play would be to buy a condo so you can build equity then when you have enough get a mortgage on of those $3-4m houses. one you retire late 40s/50s get a few acres and a custom built ranch house on a lake.

This was actually very good advice. I'm in a state of flux at the moment. I have had a shit year after moving states to chase my career. I have a shot to move home and be with my girlfriend and sick dad. The intent was to commute 1 hr there and back and save money, but to be on a new career path as well. I'd be working for a mutual fund. Out here, I could learn more entrepreneurial skills and if I do well enough, I could be pulling millions of dollars per year in business.

But I'm 34, and I feel like a fucking child. The career transition I made when I found my original field was dead.. all that time lost. and now I'm 34 and still have this fucking wanderlust, like I have all the time in the world.

I'm in a good spot career wise, and I can make a very good career no matter what path I choose. But I feel like I've just been wasting my fucking time for so long. My planning ang plotting got me this far, but I can't even fucking save here and I feel like I need to eliminate the rent expense to really start putting money in my pocket. Either that or make enough income here that I don't have to worry about it.

So I look at my options and moving home establishes comfort. And I could commute by train if I subtract 2-3 hrs of my day every day of my life. Or I could stay out here and try to max out my income. But I'd need to max out my people skills, which seems to be a good idea regardless. There's more opportunity here, I know that much. But working for that mutual fund is going to add a shitton of pedigree to my name. I could come back with an even stronger history, or if I'm good enough, become a top tier knowledge worker.

I guess, even though I've taken risks, I still find myself establishing a comfort zone that I'm afraid to leave. The repeat advice I've gotten was

>do what you love

And I can find things to love about both paths. I suppose the time expense is the most expensive of all. I just wish things were more clear cut.

You need a desensibilization therapy
Just like money, you don’t have to be afraid to lose them cause you know how to make them back (of course don’t gamble on stupid shit, if you use them use them wisely)
With girls is exactly the same
You can get married and even be loyal your entire life, but if she behave like a bitch or cheat on you, you will not be cornered like a cuck cause you are too emotionally weak and inexperienced and end up suffering your entire life, you can tell her to fuck off within 5 seconds and find a better girl within a week

With that kind of income, do it for a year and buy high cap dividend stocks which you can get at a good price now.

Spend part of that money on gold, silver and other commodities.

Even with that high of income you can't expect to save enough for retirement, you need passive income through investment. The laziest way is the way I described above.

Not entirely larp. I have close friends working in very well paid industries living at home essentially stacking wealth. Their wealthy parents aid them here. And recognize it'll put them above others. Guess what these folks still have boyfriends/girlfriends. These people are going to be able to outcompete you by a far margin when it comes to purchasing 'finite' things in life. And they still go out and travel. Their partners are typically in the same or samelike industries too. If the knots get tied. That's a huge surplus of capital for a family.
