>>6256400
why is all that money just sitting there in your savings account?

>>6256046
What for for money? I make the money man. I roll in the nickels. The game is mine. I deal the cards.

i have nothing
my parents have saved enough to cover me going to university along with my two sisters. thankfully we live in canada so tuition aint all that expensive.

I unno like fifty bucks in chequing I spose

I bought like a pair of pants and a shirt from American Apparel b/c they were having a closing sale and I wanted to piss off my dad by buying clothes that faggots wear though so w/e

I got a cheque coming so I just gotta live ON THE EDGE for a while
Maybe sell some weed

>>6256466
>we live in canada so tuition aint all that expensive
Where
Tuition in most of Canada is fucking expensive as shit

>>6256469
tuition in canada is like $2700 max/semester (given that you take 5 courses a semester), way better than the $20k+ our brothers to the south have it.

>>6256469
lets not forget students in quebec have the lowest tuition rates in all of canada

>>6256456

good vibes. save some for a rainy day fun and retirement though!

$1.50

Game over, man.

Around $20,000. Not bad for one year of saving after graduation. Stay in school, kids!

>>6256557
wat was ur major

>>6256571
Economics. I made around $100,000 before tax in 2012.

$12k net

damn and that all went to paying off your loans?

>>6256469
American tuition is 40k a year dude

Sweden fucking PAYS you to go to school

Money sitting in your bank is depreciating money. Don't do that.

>>6256593
No, $80,000 went to tax, rent, food, clothes, travel, etc.

I graduated with just a few grand of debt. Tons of scholarships and good summer jobs.

>>6256607
wow nice job man
i cant wait til i graduate.
for now internships will have to do =/

i got around 150$. got like 5k in savings but it's just an interest free loan from the government that gets me around $25 a month lol

>>6256611
I got lucky and landed a good one. I was borderline starving by the time I graduated. My company had to front me a few thousand dollars so I could survive for the first month after I moved. I didn't even have money for food. Good thing I got a company apartment for the first year.

Buy gold or silver. Or a house. I didn't say put it in a bank. Saving cash is a stupid investment anyway.

>>6256638
Wow you must've been a really valuable candidate in their eyes.
I rarely hear about stories like that. I've heard about people getting full time positions after interning, but never stories like yours. Must be a nice company.

Good to hear that you're doing well now. We all need that bit of relaxation after stressful events in life. I bet your parents are super proud.

If I count all debts currently owed both public and private... About -$9,300.

I really hate hearing this kind of bullshit. Not that guy, but I started at the company I work for today as an hourly cashier fucking ringing shit at a register. No degree. No experience.

Almost 6 years later they moved me 1,100 miles to work at their corporate office. You're just not that good dude.

>>6256663
not unless your entire wardrobe is rick

None, but my parents make a net of $2.1 million a year. That's before taxes, bills, and paying their employees salaries and benefits, though.

I had a couple thousand saved from a job I had, but most of that is gone in textbooks, groceries, and essentials over the last few years.

>>6256671

I'm not into the whole goof-ninja shit, I do have a pretty impressive shoe collection though.
For a guy anyway.

How do I get into investing /fa/?

>>6256764

gold has trended upwards continuously since the 1970s, although most goods (food for example) are keeping something near parity, so it more likely represents how worthless our currency is than how wise of an investment gold is. still, means it's better than saving money!

>>6256753
where can I learn about how news affects markets? Any books?

>>6256780
I'd think an assistant store manager would already be making more than a cop...?

>>6256792
from my complete ignorance, it doesn't look like gold varied much prior to the 70's. doesn't look like u can extrapolate shit from it

>>6256823
there's more to life than money

>>6256837
gud thing the police force acts on money

4 grand at the ready in the bank. more importantly a little over 140,000 in mostly low risk stocks and bonds

25k, waiting on like 8k in paychecks though. working freelance means i have to rely on idiots who sometimes take over a month to pay me.

>>6256872

oh and i have 3k worth of apple stock. i was so dumb for investing in that in september. "640 per share, surely this is a low!"

>>6256877
thats nice, honey

>>6256741

invest in an index funds. mutual funds overcharge and offer similar returns; picking out individual stocks is a waste of time and doesn't usually diversify your portfolio enough

>>6256827
our money ceased to be a commodity in meaningful terms once we switched to fiat currency. unlike a currency backed by a commodity, the value of our dollar is imaginary. as such, it's better to compare the value of a commodity to another commodity; in order to determine whether or not gold is a solid investment, compare it to the value of, say, corn, or sugarcane, or butter, or whatever you'd like.

while gold has boomed and busted several times on the graph, it has increased in real value by a factor greater than 3 since the 70s. of course, that means if you had invested your 1.3k in gold in 1970 and finally cashed out, you'd have all of 4k in real growth. investments like this hardly make sense for people who don't already have huge amounts of capital tbh.

> not investing in cara's eyebrows

>>>6256391

what did you invest in / what are your returns? i'm 22, have almost 30k, and am thinking about putting half in index funds.

Right around $3500 USD at the moment. Hoping to get to 5000 by the end of summer. I have to move soon so I'm trying to cut back on non-necessities and save half my paycheck each month.

I'm going to be sending some of it to my younger cousin soon, though, because her college almost threw her out for nonpayment of tuition after her douchebag parents who are too busy fighting it out in divorce court have been giving her nothing. Meanwhile, our moneybags grandfather stood by acting like it's not his problem, as have most of our other relatives. She ended up having to go all the way to my dad (the ex-husband of her half-aunt) for help.

Seriously, fuck them all. Nobody deserves to experience what they put her through, so I'm gonna send her $1000 to use on herself.

300k usd. one of my grandparents had a house and an apartment. i don't really spend much, it's just comfortable to be able to not care so much about money.

I'm 5'7''
135lbs
Both of my parents are shorter than me. Mother is under 4'7''
Barrel Chest. Big butt. Wide hips. High forehead.

Put myself through school. I now have a job,but it's being used to pay back school so I'm not in debt too long. No car. I live alone on the opposite coast I grew up on.

I have $700 in the bank. The rest is all tied up in IRA and trading accounts. I have an amazing 401K. But I'm still poor.

I wear tshirts from target, 511's from Levi, and chucks. I can't walk to work in anything nicer. My job does not require formal clothing of any sort.

Totally fucked.

MBA is a status symbol degree, same with a JD.

its "yeah, i have enough money to piss away on a master's"

and you have poorfags screaing "it won't get you a good blue collar job!!! college is a waste of time!!!!"

or

"why u no engineer u get no jobs!!!!"

Dawg, 111k in the bank! Nigga I can go out to 7-11 and buy anything I want, dawg!!

>>6259660
>status symbol
A pretty fucking useful one, that is.
An MBA at Harvard BS or Stanford GSB is literally only networking. You get to know powerful people and make very important connections. That's all an MBA in a top school is for.

You can get an MBA and a Master's, I'll be going to MIT for an MS in CS next year even though I have an MBA already.

>college is a waste of time
Heh, depends. Networking is important.

>>6259675
i'm taking classes in supply chain management for my MBA right now, trust me i ain't learning shit, it's a status symbol for sure

you can lord the three letters on your business card over the kids who did nothing with their lives you knew in high school with it

they even get pissed off at the fact that i have a BA/BS mba's drive em nuts

i think im going to get a doctrates in something useless like women's studies so i can be like "it's doctor!" to plebs

>>6259693
>ain't learning shit
It's not about learning; it's about networking.
Doing an MBA in a non-top school like SGSB, HBS, Wharton or NYU is - no offense - useless, since the network will not be as good.

>over the kids who did nothing in their lives
A good MBA allows you to get to know people you wouldn't have met otherwise.
Investors and VCs literally throw money at you when you have a top school MBA.

>women's studies
Nah, afro american studies is better
And when people tell you it's useless, you go "that's RACIST"

I was given $1000 when I entered my senior year of high school. I frequently hover craigslist, redflagdeals(slickdealz if you're american), and kijiji. whenever there's a good price i'd buy it and resell for $20 less than actual retail.

I got up to $2500 by the end of my senior year doing this. It would've been better for me to just get a job, but I was a terrible little shit that didn't want to work for shit. I stopped cause of university.

Why does that exist even

That would be boring as fuck, but yes, it would be pretty sexy.
When you have a degree in psychology, people tend to think you're a master manipulator who can read minds based on their eye movements, it has potential

History or Geopolitics PhDs can drop knowledge bombs during conversations, too

How are so many people on 4chan rich and successful by the age of 21? At 21 I'm going to just have graduated with some internship experience and a decent degree, but no way I'm gonna have tens of thousands in my account. How the fuck is that even possible?

for example, my parents pay for my school and I live at home. I only spend a small amount of money and have been saving since high school. Have about 40k, it helps when you don't have expenses. 24, graduating college.

>>6258914
So who's the lucky man?

>>6261431
/fa/ is most likely the board with the richest posters.

Fashion is a hobby of the rich.

If you want to see real wealthy cunts (and lots of nouveau riche) go on styleforum.

Anyways

ahha i kid. Doctors are highly paid but I still know plenty that don't seem to wealthy.

>>6261600
i would imagine /k/ or /o/ would have fat stacks as well

Yeah, most the time doctors got A LOT of money to pay back before they hit that rich status

I'm in the same boat as you, but I have $1000 because I never bought food with lunch money in high school. Ever.

200 USD ;_;

>>6263035

~100$ on my card, ~400$ in savings, semi-NEET bastard here. Shit education, no family connections, no jobs around. Yelp. It's hopeless, really. Thank god Internet is pretty cheap though.

I don't even know. I'm travelling and I've just been withdrawing in Euros ans Swiss Francs and somehow still have money but my rent didn't go through so I have the dreadful feeling I'll be broke this month/get kicked out of my apartment

>>6254736
About to be 20 since I'm about to buy some shoes. Hold me /fa/

>>6263669

You want some shoes? You really want to spend that 200$ on them? I mean, they sure must be nice and shit, but think about it. You buy them. You have 20$ left. For a month. What are you going to eat? Noodles? You now that means? Catabolism and skinnyfat. You're going to become skinnyfat. That's even worse than skinny or fat. But hey, the shoes are nice, aren't they? You could spot a sale, check brands' own shops, many of them have sales all the time you wouldn't see at stores. You could ideally save half the price, and have 120$ for food. Fucking proteins and shit your body needs to avoid becoming skinny fat.

Choose wisely, anon.

>>6263712
B-but I'm already buying these shoes on ebay. T-they're only 80 dollars. I'll get more money in a week so I can last a week or two. I was thinking about losing some more weight anyways

>>6263743

Lentils and beans. Fucking lentils and beans man. Get some quark or other protein dense (~10g/100g) food as well.

If you want to lose weight (fat) eat a deficit and get enough brotein

But srsly check out the brands' websites. For example Puma is always having a sale as they have new things coming in all the time.

>>6263764
Nah I'm not at that level yet. I have some food stocked and shit. Just won't have any spending money for a couple of weeks. Just getting a pair of elderly 1461 for $55. Guess I actually have about 50 dollar actually.

>>6263776

This? I like. White shoes are best shoes

>>6263796
I wish, but these pairs are black. They're so cheap i couldn't resist. And pairs in my size usually don't come around often since I have small feet.

Work as a freelance designer. $4.5K in the bank right now, I've got another 1K on the way.

Little under 11k in the bank, little over 60k in stock, roughly 15k in real investments. Age 22.

In January I had about 200 bucks average.

140
kill me

>>6266335
so what did you do exactly to get that kind of money?
also, what do you mean by "real investments"? real estate or real as compared to "unreal" stock investment (for whatever reason stocks might be unreal)

>>6266335

so how did you get so much so fast?

£3k in one bank account
£7k in one saving account
£3.5k in another saving account

>tfw pissed away nearly £3k at uni once so have become super frugal since

This thread has made me realize how ar above all of you I am on the socioeconomic level and that I need to leave this message board. One should strive to surround themselves with those at least at their own level.

Goobye

>>6266373
that £3k was spent in just under 3 months, by the way

I work in software. My job is to break it.

I invest in antiques. I find things below market value from people who don't know the value and talk them down. I'll do a little restoration and hold onto them. The 15k is in firearms, 1880s to 1950s, as I haven't appraised my other things yet. I'm recieving a shipment which should turn around for 80-120% profit day 0 on monday, but I'm not planning on selling. The value climbs faster than inflation.

I consider such things as real investments, because in the event of a fiscal disaster, I still retain the value (unlike stocks/bonds/currency) and can easily liquidate. Land is also a good investment, but I don't have enough to yet.

>>6266549
Any tips on breaking in to the antiques market?

>>6266600

i'm also interested, it seems like a wise thing to do.

Find something youre interested in specifically, and learn a lot about it. Learn what to look for and what to avoid, learn all the models/styles/whatever, learn all the values and where you can get good deals and where you can sell for a lot. You need to learn A LOT so it is important to find something you are genuinely really passionate about.

Once you have a working knowledge, you'll want to involve yourself in the market. Go to places you can get shit for cheap and get a feel for prices, and places where you can get shit for expensive so you get a feel for prices, and from there, you develop an idea of how much profit you can turn. For example, I buy typewriters on craigslist for about $40. On ebay or in antique shows, the same model can go for $300.

When you're confident that you know enough that you won't get jewed, start buying and selling. Pretty simple. The hard part is learning how to haggle well, which can make the difference between a bad deal, if you give too much, no deal if you push too much (people get pissy if you low ball them), and a good deal.

Other than stressing the fact you need to really like your shit (or you WILL get tired of it quickly) I recommend learning how to fix shit up, in the way to maximize value. For example, I find that a lot of things made of wood get dinged up and discolored and shit, and with a little know-how, you can make it look a lot nicer while still being authentic, which boosts what you can sell it for. On the other hand, a lot of people sand wood, which is really noticeable to a trained eye and significantly diminishes value. Being able to clean and restore without damaging is a good skill in this field.

It helps if you have a friend who is also interested in the same thing, you can work together and develop a more comprehensive combined knowledge. It also makes shit more fun.

Antiquing is all about knowing. If you know more about something than a seller, you will be able to find good deals they arent aware of, and if you know more than the buyer, you can sell it for how much they might think its worth vs true value.

Because of this, we have a huge advantage. A lot of people in the field are older folks who wont know how to computer, so you can use Google or Bing to great effect against the limited sources they have (typically, hearsay from other people at shows or collectors books, which internet has better info than). So, its a good market for us.

Assorted tips:
Keep the shit you are turning fairly mobile. Items that cost a lot and are bulky dont move quickly. Think of something like a bookcase or a desk that is a pain in the ass for you to haul out to swap meets, you NEED to sell it at 3k+ to make a 5% profit. Buyers will look at it, they will be discouraged by the price tag and how much of a pain it is to get to their house and move on.
Good places to find shit are generally craigslist, thrift stores, garage sales, and so on. A lot of the time someone will have something from a previous generation they don't know the value of and get rid of, and it ends up here. For example, I found a WWII Nazi issue pair of binocs in thrift store for 12 bucks. Being early war, its made of brass instead of zinc/aluminum, so it commands a price premium, and would sell on ebay for 200-500 depending on marketting and number of comparable items in stock.
Good places to sell shit are generally ebay, antique shows, militaria or gun shows.
Antique stores are hit or miss. Things like typewriters are overpriced, but I got a Ming dynasty tea cup for a dollar, and an 1897 swiss army knife for $15. Just have to find more modern, random shit stores instead of the fancy Victorian $9000 stores.
But thats just shit i look for, if youre going to specialize in something else, different places apply. Any questions?

>>6266805
yeah.
first: why do you put only 20% of your invested capital into the thing you know most about?
secondly; how did you make the money you invest in the first place if you had so little back in Jan?

>>6266830
I think its important to keep about a few thousand cash on hand, for unforeseen expenses, since its the most easily liquidatable. Antiques can move quickly, but not as quickly as a withdrawal.

Also, I only invest in good 0 day deals. I maintain a relatively strict bar on what I buy. If I can't turn a $100 profit on it TODAY, I won't bite. I also don't have a lot of time outside work to do this except on the weekends, and I'm generally tired and just want to dick around instead of go around and buy shit or work on it. Also recently moved states and havent built up a network of buyers/sellers or places to routinely visit for antiques locally yet. Finally, I flat out don't have storage space to have that much shit without making my apartment look like a cat lady hoarder house.

The stock, I got a lot of it for very little, on the agreement that I can't sell it for 4 years or invest in a competitor. As long as things stay the same (and the company hasnt seen change since the dot com bubble), I'm looking at a 50k+ profit. That was a lucky break and I don't expect to see anything like that again.

As far as how I made money... I work in software. I started in March. I know a good amount about it and it actually makes significantly more money with better consistency than antiquing. Antiquing is mostly just a hobby for me, to be honest, though I know a good amount of people who work in it fulltime.
