Calling all richfags, how rich are you....can you timestamp it, do you ever have to budget or does it never cross your mind? Also were you born into it or was it bred to you? Poorfags want to know! Pic related, the first image that comes up when you type "picture of rich"
Come on i know you're here
Bumping for interest. I'm poor.
>>696942093
> do you ever have to budget
You don't get rich by wasting money.
I'm not rich by any means but I have a decent career for someone of my age. I run a bottled water route in the central Illinois area, make about 1500 bring home every 2 weeks. Cost of living here is so cheap I can pay all my months bills in 1 weeks work roughly.
>>696943794
A bottled water route??
>>696943794
Nice thats a start i work at usps own my house and a car from 2004 but not rich by anymeans have to budget the hell out of shit! I wanna hear from real richfags like stupid rich
>>696944324
Yes sir. 5 gallon jugs delivered to roughly 750 customers each month. I have about a 200 mile service area I deliver to, make straight commission. I get 1.25 per jug delivered and do between 150-200 a day
>>696944545
I just started about 2 months ago so I've yet to really reap the rewards yet. I'm almost done with my degree in information security so that'll be nice I hope. What do you do for usps?
>>696942093
Not filthy rich, but rich enought that purchases below few k's don't really register.
Became an entrepreneur, started and ran a gym chain, sold it and now running an IT service house for other businesses.
I don't budget my consumption, though I do put the majority of my income into stocks or buying houses. Having the money around doing nothing is bad sports. My next goal is to get 50mils all together, after that I'm looking to maybe start another business.
I like to donate sometimes in the begging threads, but that's coffee money usually.
Anything else?
>>696944623
Sounds like a pretty nice job all things considered.
Born into it, my dad is an executive of one of the top 25 largest banks in america. Cant timestamp anything worthwhile that wouldnt reveal my identity
>>696945325
Where do you originally get the money to start something like a gym?
Mailman i do rural route make bout 1200 every 2 weeks no airconditioning
>>696942093
I inherited a house from my dad and I got about 612k CAD in stocks right now plus some change.
>Calling all richfags
>1500 bring home every 2 weeks
>1200 every 2 weeks

>>696945710
Funny story about no air conditioning. My entire first month I ran the route with no air conditioning. I was 270 lbs when I started, I'm down to 240 now. I really didn't know if I would be able to do this line of work after the first week of sweating and pulling muscles. 2 months in I'm in the best shape of my life and couldn't be happier. Now that I have my CDL I don't have anyone riding with me criticizing anymore. Luckily enough my deck in the work truck has an auxiliary port so I bump metal all day to keep me pumped
Just got out of rehab and got my black card back. I could buy a car with it if I wanted to. feelsgoodman
>>696945673
Loan basically, between the 3 of us we got 300k for the start-up. We burned around 150k in first 3 months. Became profitable in 4months.
Though we did get some additional initial funding from an university entrepreneurship fund and few other investors through the same channel.
>>696946223
Nice so do you work or what do you do for fun since you can do pretty much fucking anything
>>696946285
Says the neck beard who has never worked a day in his life. Once you earn something you'll learn to appreciate what you have. Until then keep fapping to trap threads beta.
$67k net worth. Not rich but I'm 24 so it could be worse.
Also dad is doctor, grandparent is doctor. I'm on bad terms with my dad though so I assume I won't see any of it.
>>696943794
lol what I make over double that and wouldn't have dared to claim I was rich and I live in one of the poorest states in the country.
For perspective I make 105k a year, my rent is only 450$ and it's actually a sick house.

What were your monthly profits like? After all expenses were paid?
only one to timestamp?
anyway, most of it is inheritance, but I dont liek spending money so i pretty much just live care free of emergencies
>>696943794
So you make like 36K a year? Are you fucking retarded, oh wait you think a bottle water route is a thing so yes.
>>696945325
I admire you Anon. I've been trying to become successful, though severe social anxiety is holding me back. Out of all the ways you make money are there any that doesn't require socializing? I don't want to be filthy rich, just enough to not worry about basic shit like rent and enough to buy a new pair of shoes when i need them
>>696947142
No clue what to timestamp. Car? Stupid expense designer shit? I just bought a 2k Givnecy backpack
>>696946592
I barely work. I work at a concession stand at a hockey stadium right now but I'm trying to get back into university so I can better learn to manage my money. I went before and kind of fucked myself over. My gf dumped me during my second year of university then I got all suicidal and stopped going to class so I have a bunch of F's on my transcript. ALSO I sold the house for the dumb bitch. I SHOULD have a house worth 750k or more.
The house was in Vancouver and you gotta be a tard or in love to sell a house there. Unfortunately money can't fix my autism.

>>696947324
I started a T-shirt company in college and made 100k on the side because it went viral, I had to stop doing it to focus on school
my tip would be, figure out a way to spend 100$ and earn 200$, if you can do that reliably , and at SCALE, then you are set.

>>696942093
I am fabulously rich. I have no money, no insurance, no car, no house, no stocks, no bonds, no investments, no necktie, and no boss. I live in a bare, concrete basement in a mouse- and mold-infested, hundred year old building which was an abandoned factory for ten years before I moved in. I sleep on an old piece of foam. I've never even used a cellphone, much less owned one. I have no fridge, no stove, and take sponge baths in the sink because there's no shower. I make a very small income by doing tarot readings on a folding table on the street. All my possessions except my computer fit in a single backpack. I own only two pieces of furniture: a desk and a chair, both of which I salvaged from the trash.
And I am rich beyond anything most of you can imagine.
I have hosted two radio shows, run for public office, founded two NGOs, and have a Wikipedia article written about me. I've been to prison, been professionally published as a writer, and once spent the night hiding in a rusted-out abandoned car in a swamp while someone with a shotgun hunted for me. My life has been rich in ways people with money don't even realize exist.

On the initial gym after 9 months we were running ~900 monthly subs, and a another 200-400 of other subs (1,3,6,9m) and a bunch of courses. We rented the shitty basement to a martial arts company (most of who became members as well, though with discount).
We were running around 80k monthly business, profit margin after all expenses (though not our share) was around 40%. It jumped to ~50% after we got the loans paid back.
>>696942093
I find it hard to imagine that anyone who's rich (money works for them) would spend time on /b/. Or even have had time to learn about it.
>>696942093
I've got like $200 in my wallet and like $300 in my bank
when I turn 25 I'll get what is right now about $130,000 in a trust, but I've got a few years before that
>>696947762
Not sure i like the pics peeps on here take of part of their house with feet up on coffee table ect or things i would never think aboit buying
>>696947716
Easy there Bonadio
>>696948015
honestly its easy once you find some shtick . I started with pocket change manufacturing shirts 5 at at time and each shirt cost me 35$ to make. I'd sell them for 40$ until I had enough money saved up to order higher volume.
At higher volume my manufacturing costs drop to 25$ and then I was making 10$ more per shirt. I saved all the cash up until I could order 100 shirts at a time. Then the company went viral. I only had 10 shirts in stock and I had orders for over 700 shirts in a few hours. I spent all of the profit printing more shirts until the shirts cost me like 5$ a pop to make and I was still selling them for 40$.
I found a warehouse that would store them for me and put the shirts into envelopes when people bought them. The first few months sucked and then I was just answering emails and posting on facebook promoting the brand collecting money
Just recently inherited around $200k from my grandfather but most of it is in bonds so I'm not really able to spend it. Don't know what to do with it other than fund the rest of my pharmacy school. Fiance thinks I only inherited around $46k because he saw a bank letter. Don't know how to tell him since I have very little access to it right now. Only 21 and grew up lower middle class so feels good man.
>>696948915
put it into an index fund and forget it exists
bonds are junk
I work for an oil company and even though it's not my own business I make 110k a year after taxes. Not bad for 25.
>>696948915
What do you plan on doing with it when it all comes in
>>696947912
You've been to prison? That must've been an incredibly enriching experience. Can you give me some advice as to how I can also gain some prison experience? I'm so tired of being poor.
I kind of have a shopping addiction so here's my latest idiotic expensive purchase. 2k
>>696947324
One of the guys who I started the gym with had similar issues with social anxiety, though later he went to therapy (paid by the company).
He was running the back office for us, billing, legal, contracts, numbers etc. He was super pedant with everything so it fit him well. He mostly only interacted with us, our associates and later our employees. All of which were 'known' to him so his thing didn't bother him much.
>>696949520
God that's retarded. There are so many quality things you can get in the $50-$400 range, after that you're just paying for a stupid name. How impractical.
>>696949251
I know literally nothing about money and my grandpa's old bank guy died so whatever that is I'll look into it maybe? >>696949281
Putting a down payment on a house and finishing off pharmacy school. Maybe pay for my wedding. I'm not sure. I inherited his shit car too but it runs great so i have no reason to buy a car or anything.

>>696949462
Not only have I been to prison, but my main claim to fame is that I got thrown out of prison for organizing the inmates to fight for better conditions. I'm a grassroots community organizer with 25 years of experience, and they tried to punish me by throwing me into a room with 40 angry, bored, cop-hating criminals with nothing to do all day but sit and listen to me. Five days after putting me inside, they dragged me back into court and told the judge they didn't want me inside. I had refused bail, so they bailed me with no conditions at all so I couldn't refuse it. I didn't even have the boilerplate to keep the peace and to abstain from owning weapons. (I beat the charges two years later on constitutional grounds.)
Like I said, I'm pretty well known in my field and there's a Wikipedia article about me.
>>696948332
You would be surprised. This whole place is a melting pot of various socioeconomic backgrounds.
Then again, I agree that most don't spend hours here. I mostly skim things once or twice a day, and reply to interesting things. Though I mostly frequent /tg/

Because I could use the remaining $3600 to buy more cool shit, travel, be altruistic, etc. Plus you never know when your luck might change, might as well save some of it.

My mother worked her ass off, bought a house, died, we sold the house because we couldn't afford to keep it. After a year or so of probate bullshit I'm renting a shitty room in London but I'm jobless and doing w/e I like pretty much.

Well, the whole reason I posted here isn't to blow my own trumpet, but to show people that you can have a rich, exciting, adventurous, and successful life WITHOUT money. I've never had so much as a pot to piss in, but I've gone toe to toe with powerful politicians, wealthy business lobbies, and entire police departments. "Rich" has nothing to do with money, IMHO.

>>696950985
how does a panhandlers and buskers union work? I spent about three years on the street in Austin TX and have both panhandled and busked. Aside from getting ran off by the cops all the time whether I was sleeping somewhere or trying to make a couple bucks. the other street kids would rob you blind if you didnt pay attention. I had a frat boy pick up my hat that had some tips in it and throw it out into traffic. a guy broke my guitar one time. Anyway I usually had to resort to petty left or selling drugs if i needed money.
It's dark outside, I wish I could post pictures of my house it's really pretty. 3m, 6 bedrooms 8 bathrooms. I would take some off the internet but that's pretty lame
>>696951830
i hope you know how lucky you are pal. i had to go to school with holes in my shoes and eat a few cooked meals per week, don't ever take it for granted do some cool shit with your money, go see the world and shit.
>>696951721
Dude you are the man
>>696947324
So in essence, my recommendation would be to do like some of the anon's suggested, like ecommerce.
Better would be to scope the limits of your anxiety, and find a what I call a "support role" similar to my partner, and become good at it.
It includes things like accounting, basic legal work, finances etc.
Once you start receiving income from that source, I would recommend that you invest 50% of it into so called dividend aristocrats in order to build further revenue streams.
Furthermore, from my limited experience, social anxiety is something you can work with through therapy and practice. So don't neglect that.
>>696952057
Feel bad for you man, I'm living in Austin now. The issue is that there's two types of panhandlers:
1. Those who are harmless and down on their luck
2. Those who are drug addicts who fight and screw in the streets
Unfortunately near UT there's a lot of 2's, and ever since the murder of the girl this year they've really cracked down on anyone. I worked in the Union when I went there and talked to a lot of harmless people who were just down on their luck but good people.
>>696952240

We're members of the IWW, the Industrial Workers of the World -- also known as the Wobblies. We're one of the old, militant unions, founded in 1905 by mostly anarchists. The IWW has a long tradition of organizing in places no other union will touch. For instance, during the Great Depression so many hobos were members of the IWW that if you tried to hop a train, the hobos would demand to see your union card and toss you right back off if you couldn't produce one.
We operate by showing people the advantages of working together. The police, the moneyed business interests, and city hall are all organized and work together. To fight them you have to be able to organize right back. Once a person has seen the *practical* benefits of throwing their hat into the ring with a bunch of people who share her or his interests, people don't need much convincing. It's how I organized the people in prison: I just showed them how, with my help, they could get all the things they were griping about just by standing side by side.
Those who rule us do so by dividing us and turning us against one another. My job as a community and labour organizer is to show people how working together and not being afraid of showing some muscle will get you what you want. Or, in the words of the IWW, "Direct action gets the goods."

He doesn't. He is a walking teenage in self created angst dug addict kid of rich folks. He doesn't appreciate shit other than people accepting his excuses for being a little bitch in life an not handling his shit but not really calling him out on it. Probably because he runs in a circle of others just like him and they cross over to the poor addicts and then feel that they are more 'real' that way.
He will disappoint everyone that cares about him until they stop caring...but he won't.

the drag is where I was at, actually. I hung around the square, and the 21st street coop mostly. lot of shit heads out there but downtown was too dangerous.

I was thinking about hosting some poor /b/tard to come live with me for free. I just moved into a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment all by myself and I could pay for all their expenses (food, I pay the 2,500$ rent, etc.). It would be interesting, because I hate living alone and I could help someone else out.
>>696942093
Not born into it, but never struggled growing up.
Go to school for something that will make you money, not something you like.
You can hate it all you want but when you go buy something you want and you don't have to look at the tag its worth it.
If I went to school for something that I liked I'd be a painter trying to pay for my meals with quarters
>>696953935
Dues in the IWW are geared to income. We use a model called "solidarity unionism," which means we train all our members to organize in a series of regimented workshops, and everyone is expected to take part in the business of running the union. As a result, there's only a single paid member in the entire union, so our dues are very small compared to most unions. The lowest tier of dues is $6 a month, for example, and the highest tier you will ever pay, no matter how much money you make, is $48 a month.
What I'm doing now, though, is renovating this building to turn it into a community and cultural centre for celebrating the hobo traditions. We're paying for this mostly out of our own pockets, which means the work is going very slowly, and we have to do all the work ourselves. I'm slowly teaching myself how to do the work. It's called the Utah Phillips Centre for the Hobo Arts. You can see pictures of the place on our GoFundMe page:
go fund me dot com slash SLOW-IWW
Utah Phillips, if you're familiar with him, was a member of the IWW too, and his widow and son gave us their blessing to put his name on our project.

3.)Open a liquor store (* might want to purchase a house of your own 1st if you don't already own one*)

Not going to time stamp it because I couldnt be bothered but I am rich. Earned seven figures for most of the last decade if you include bonuses in an investment bank. '08 to '10 were the exception. Own my own house, apartment in the city and apartment in the nearest ski fields. I also own about $3m in investment property and another $4m in deferred stock. SO you could say I am comfortable.
Grew up as a middle class fag, majored in philosophy at university I can't remember when the price of anything was something that I considered when I wanted to do something. Investments - of course price matters - but shit like go to a restaurant or buy expensive electronics and shit, I don't blink.

Actually, I have something I' like to add about this
1.) Could be any number of illegal activities. It could be money saved from different kinds of thefts (*perhaps if your name is Earl or if you're just a nigger*) heist, or even gambling. A prime example would be to open an underground casino to generate start up money. Also I'd like to comment that once you get to step 5, that's when you can start distancing yourself from illegal activity and put someone else in charge of it, someone you trust especially.

>>696955294
Either that or they are doing one of 2 other things. 1st is that could be trying to keep a low profile by not buying thing well out of their means. Buying flashy shit with dirty money is one thing, but buying your way towards wealth with dirty money will get you put on an FBI watch list and eventually end up with a RICO case being built on you and your business partners and associates. The second reason they aren't wealthy is because they know they can smarten up and launder their money to buy into a more legitimate business, but are being held back by some retarded false sense of "loyalty" to their "hood, "barrio", "favela", trailer park or some other dumb shit. It is possible to start out by dealing drugs and turning to something more legitimate later on, however there are more options than the drug trade.

I know most of them pretty well, most of them don't even think about shit like that. I don't know anyone who is around drugs like that all day that doesn't sell to support their habit. Especially my friends who sell heroin, they are being hounded 24/7, constantly worried about being ripped off or robbed, people trading them their crap for drugs, and getting arrested picking up/dropping off. It's not any sort of job they want to have but they can keep using and not have to stress about having drugs if they make sure they keep their money straight.

I don't consider myself rich, but I make 600k a year. I like to think of myself as upper upper class. Either way, fuck yes I budget. I was mostly born into it, but a lot of it is self-made too.
Grew up dirt poor after mom divorced dad and leaving him for a bartender.
When I was 14 and a bagger at the grocery store 10 hours a week, all my paycheck went to dad to help pay for our food. As I got more hours I started saving money non stop.
Bought a run-down house for the price of back-taxes from the county. Fixed it up and sold it. Paid for most of it by renting out to my friends who were going to college.
Own 80 properties, three individual apartment buildings and co-own a complex with a business partner.
My husband and I are set enough that he quit his job at a firm where he was getting ready to make partner to start a knife making company, and I do a farmer's market thing that I run to get food to the shelters and food banks.
>>696958215

You probably know some low level hood type scrubs or junkie's who are selling drugs to suppourt their habit. While yes, those people do exist and are most people in the drug game, who do you think supplies them? People like Joaquin "El Chopo" Guzman who are in charge of cartels or even whole saleers who are supplies by cartels for example like some of the bigger operations you hear about such as prison gangs, biker gangs, racially motivated nationalist types (*such as Black Panther wannabes or Aryan ___*), really big street gangs, and even some lower ranking captains in mafias. Those are the types that are in the drug business but are also wealthy in their own right. Especially those running cartels.
>>696957818

>>696959221
Why do you suppose I do this? Why do you think I'm willing to out myself on /b/ to show it's possible to have a thrilling, exciting, fulfilling life while living in utter destitution? It's because so-called "rich" people are living HORRIBLE lives and most don't even know it. They've become hungry ghosts: empty shells in the shape of people who are blind to everything but their hunger, which can never be satiated. The more they consume, the hungrier they get. These threads are EXACTLY the place people need to hear this.
I married into a wealthy family. Didn't think it could hurt when we got married. Now many years on down the road, I've lost a ton of respect for the type of wealthy fucks who are obsessed with A) not paying taxes, B) controlling their children, and C) making sure anyone outside their bloodline never touches a cent of their fortune.
They are severely miserable people. Good thing my wife gives amazing blowjobs, despite her upbringing.
>>696956557
Best to advertise at various hardware stores or put up cards at health clubs. Worked ok for me anyway. Get some business cards and pass them out on jobs too. All my business is referral now. No more advertising. Could sign up with the various Internet referral agencies these days I imagine or craigslist. Takes time to get established though.
>>696959631
If anyone here would want to start selling drugs they would pretty much be at that level though, is what I'm trying to say. It would be fucking sick to be a high level drug dealer that doesn't even have to touch the stuff and pretty much has everyone else doing the dirty work for them.

That's a pretty big risk you're taking.

I make about 450k a year; my wife about 350k. House is worth maybe 2.7m (about $1m left on mortgage). We have about 300k in our kids' college funds, and $1.5m in retirement.
Wasn't born rich, but definitely upper middle class (both parents doctors); my wife, little less than that, but still solid upbringing. But good schools (great public high school, into ivy league college + law school = lawyer). my wife, sales manager at major software co. for 13 years.
>>696942093
I am not crazy rich by any means but I own two homes, 4 cars and I have a bit over a million in liquid assets. Im sure I could timestamp something but I don't really care about proving it. I was born into it, didn't really do anything to deserve it. I was adopted into a wealthy family so I guess I just lucked out.
>>696962079
I've already outed myself in this thread. I out myself here all the time. I've lived most of my life in the spotlight. I was on the cover of every newspaper in the country last year, for example. Hell, I've invited people to give me a call to verify I am who I say I am. Most people are pretty decent when you give them a chance to BE decent, even here on /b/.

It doesn't have to be that way and even it some aspects of your business do become that way, just remember, you only got into it to make enough money to be independently wealthy. You wouldn't have to be in the drug game for very long, just legitimize after some time and invest in a legal business. Like I said, hand over the illegal shit to one of your trusted captains. If you still can't sleep at night then just consider this, those people doing that "dirty work" and the addicts? They at some point made a concussions choice to get themselves into that predicament. You didn't fucking put a gun to their head an force them to buy your drugs. They came, they bought and got high all of their own fucking free will. No tears shed for them what so ever when you look at it that way.
>>696961299
I was just pulling your leg, dude, But in all seriousness, I can't stand people who give away pieces of their wealth just to "clear their conscious" or feel better about themselves. The proper thing to do is encourage and even teach others how to get where you are.

You know you can have wealth and not let it destroy you as a person, right? Only people who lost sight of their own humanity let it get that bad. Upper middle class and people just over that line who qualify as "wealthy" are really good at doing that. Best ways to keep your life from being consumed by your business, work, or even just greed itself is by making time for yourself and those you love, especially those you knew long before you became wealthy. >>696963401

Being low-to-middling famous doesn't bother me, but it doesn't make me excited either. It's part and parcel of the lifestyle I lead, and I couldn't do what I do without being willing to stand in the spotlight, so I've learned to just accept it.
It's more about living not to be afraid. To accept the challenges of life and attack them with gusto. It's part of what I'm trying to put across in this thread; money comes between a person and that person's things. I have a small collection of smoking pipes I enjoy. I scoured eBay and spent what little money I have on cheap but quality estate pipes. I've learned to restore them and they are my pride and joy. I've skipped meals and endured hardship so I could afford them. They're probably the most valuable things I own. Any of the so-called "rich" people in here could have bought them brand new with their pocket change -- and how much would they have appreciated them?
Being rich has nothing to do with the amount of money you have, but rather how much sheer joy you can squeeze from life. Money destroys joy, it does not purchase it.
I'll bite. My dad is rich ad. But I'm friends with this billionare's son who is actually on Forbes. Stole his GF couple years ago he doesn't like me very much but hey at least my Eskimo bro networth is over 3.7M

We're anarchists, actually. Most of the communists left the IWW early in our history because we refused to endorse the Socialist Worker Party for the presidency in the US. And in fact, our constitution now forbids us as members from promoting any political or anti-political agenda as a direct result of that split.

Anyone who's life is destroyed because of something financially related are people that either let greed get to their head or people who have been fucked over by greed or even just desperate people. Money isn't something that makes or breaks people's lives, but rather the choices people make that do.

Did you miss the part where I mentioned that I not only don't own a cellphone, but have never used one? I live a life of voluntary simplicity. That means all my possessions can fit into a single backpack. And I neither need nor want a cellphone, so no "selfies" from me. If you're really that torqued about verifying my existence, call me. I've outed myself, you have my name, and you know where I live. I'm in the book. The phone is right in front of me. Call me and ask.

You are definitely right, that money doesn't buy happiness... and if you're ill prepared, can actually sow the seeds of unhappiness. But it can by many things that eliminate sources of stress and unhappiness (e.g. worrying about putting food on the table, worrying about keeping a roof over your head, worrying about retirement, worrying about giving your kid a present for Christmas, worrying about being able to pay your bills if you get sick).
What the poor fags don't realize -- and why money can't buy happiness ultimately -- is that once you have enough money to eliminate those worries, there are always more stresses/worries around to take their place... worrying about getting your kids in the best schools, worrying about having ENOUGH for retirement, worrying about stress at your job -- that may sound like whiny, first-world problems to true poorfags -- but we're just built as humans that way...

Thoreau explains this better than I can:
> "Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue; for money comes between a man and his objects, and obtains them for him; and it was certainly no great virtue to obtain it. It puts to rest many questions which he would otherwise be taxed to answer; while the only new question which it puts is the hard but superfluous one, how to spend it. Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet. The opportunities of living are diminished in proportion as what are called the 'means' are increased.Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue; for money comes between a man and his objects, and obtains them for him; and it was certainly no great virtue to obtain it.

I don't like to brag but here envy me and die...
>>696967631
Not sure why you pasted that twice? All Thoreau is basically saying there is that eliminating challenges in life removes the opportunity for experience and growth ... but that's only if you let it. It's not determinative, it's just a causal factor... just like how everyone in abject poverty does not live a "rich" and "full" life like our heavy, bearded friend here...

>>696967503
Do you really not get what "voluntary simplicity" means? I don't need a camera. I don't want a camera. I've boiled my life down to the minimums necessary for me to live a joyous existence -- and have found, as Thoreau and based Diogenes of Sinope did before me, that simplicity is the path to true richness of being. I'm trying to *help* people. It's no great sacrifice to give up your things, since these things are what chain you to the great rusty breaking wheel.
>>696967631
Ah -- didn't realize this was you again, Nellis - - comical that your Wikipedia page says Thoreau is one of your idols. There is undoubtedly a superficial appeal to the simplicity he espouses. It's just a tad idealistic - - like the anarchist ideology coolaid you've swallowed down.

Grew up middle-class but I'm now 30 and my family is probably considered upper-class. Dad co-owns a IT consulting firm and makes $300k, while mum is a property developer and has done some big projects.
I'm an engineer like my dad and am Director of IT at the firm I work at, making $220k. My wife is a corporate lawyer making similar money but will be earning more than me at the end of this year. Very lucky to have the support of my parents, who now are mortgage free and own several properties. I was also very lucky to marry someone that makes a lot, so we've been able to increase our property portfolio to 4 houses. I can afford anything I want, but I live below my means and always find ways to save money, as weird as that sounds.

But she loves yoga, crossfit, and running (especially w. the dog) so its literally no effort for her to stay in shape. She also enjoys eating healthy which sometimes sucks because it can be over the top healthy but her risottos are beyond godly so if we eat something especially healthy i usually get risotto the day after. I had a huge problem with eating couscous but now i quite enjoy it.
If you really dont believe me i can try finding a look a like.

there is a difference between being a poor hobo with no money and being a middle class guy who can afford to go on a holiday twice a year while providing for his family.
If you need a million dollar bank account to get a girl it says something about yourself and about the girl. The best girls fall for normal guys, not for rich douchebags.
Money = Freedom, true, but you over-estimate how much you need to be free.
>>696973365
what city? and age? I'm thinking of getting into this line of work
>>696973497
Chicago. I'm 35. Where do you go to school?
>>696973624
Australia. I'm at uni doing bach. of commerce (3 years) and then I plan on doing a masters in engineering. How'd you become a hedge fund manager?
>>696973464
I'm not only a "poor hobo" but I'm fat, hairy, ugly, and wear a fucking *fedora* -- and I get hit on all the time. Seems being smart, charming, entertaining, and being able to spin a good yarn counts for a lot more than having a bunch of zeroes before the decimal in your bank book.
>>696973365
used to be my dream job, still kinda is but it's really competitive, I haven't got amazing grades so I don't know if I'd ever make it
>>696973464
well yea thats what Im tellin you
>The best girls fall for normal guys, not for rich douchebags.
hahaaaa ha bro
>Money = Freedom, true, but you over-estimate how much you need to be free.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a foot in the door already. My father worked for one of the top brokerage firms in chicago. My older brother and I followed. All three are Penn graduates...to be honest I don't love it. It's tough work, but the ceiling is incredibly high. I'm nowhere near it.
>>696974359
I've heard that there is a bit of nepotism in finance. So what did you study at Penn? What are your hours like? What was your salary like your first year as a hedge fund manager?
>>696954754
Its a long shot but I'm looking for a quick way out of paying my student loans. Kik me at rorbit if you'd like to help an anon out.

>>696954754
this is my dream
Anyone want to help out a fellow anon who is drowning in student loans? I owe 58k right now and they are about 4 years behind at this point... my degree is worthless and I feel like I was swindled into buying in to the whole "go to college, borrow the money" scheme. If anyone is willing to help out it would change my life forever. I just want a chance to start fresh. My paypal is: [email protected] if anyone is willing to just help some random stranger out like that.

honestly that's looking like the best option at this point. I know it's a long shot but it is still worth a shot.
Have family friend worth 70 million dollars.. Got all of it for buying properties in the right places and selling at the right times.
>>696975338
Well he is a doctor and has other side jobs. And my mum was an international lawyer and she retired at like 35
>>696975154
I owe money too bro, this thread is quite inspirational but why don't you just work and sort out a payment plan? Like only pay what u can afford. you'll feel a great sense of achievement. I'm in debt atm, would love somebody to pay off my student+other debt but I guess if I don't do it myself it could affect me badly physiologically.

>>696942093
I have about $600,000 in equity over 3 properties. I owe bank 1,100,000 in total though.
Made the bulk of the $600,000 in buying a big bit of land and waiting for market to change, then sold it about 5 years later. This happened whilst I had a job driving a forklift. I haven't really made any incease in equity as property market in city has been flat for last 6 years. XDDDD
>>696975338
But we don't live badly. 5 cars maserati and BMW best two atm. Over 7 houses that we can just walk into and another 7 that we rent out. It's not bad
>>696975005
I'd be happy if I had friends, though. The money doesn't matter that much.
>>696970958
You sound wildly insecure dude. Begging for validation of your life choices probably works among your chosen friends, but I think to most people in here your "spiritual wealth" is meaningless, unquantifiable horseshit. Get a good job man.
>>696974913
Yeah, I guess. It's in a football stadium for my city's club. (soccer)
>>696976101
=_= rly bro fuck you
>>696975588
Its already affected me enough psychologically and I've already paid off a lot but I cant stomach the thought of doling out money for the next 30 years of my life for a useless piece of paper that I was tricked into thinking I needed when in reality I wouldve done better just taking the money and starting a business. Now with my credit being in the shitter, I wouldnt qualify for a business loan if my life depended on it.

>>696976393
noo
wish I were rich.. but I have a car, almost 2k saved up and no debt so I guess it's something, (almost 20)
>>696976268
30 years? do they add interest though? just pay like $100-200 a month and imagine it as a friendly reminder/expense. It's not they force you to pay it off all at once like a proper loan. I don't know your circumstances etc but in U.K it's different, my dad even took years to pay his off maybe even till he was 40 or some shit like that but it was like a utility bill etc, didn't let him affect much because a lot of people are in the same shit. Just go out, get a job, work and save a bit and start a business with that if u really want. I can't even get a contract phone right now with my credit rating, have debt, but trying my best to find a way out and not get too depressed, used to suffer a lot from that
>>696942093
£26,500 in one account.
£830 in my taxable account.
Not rich but comfy.
I don't budget, I'm not a cunt, and I have everything a man needs and live in a nice place.
My farther built his own company from the ground up into a world wide success, he's a multimillionaire. But I have made this money on my own. Unlike my bitch of a sister who just lives of him.

I'd describe you as rich, that's good that you earned it yourself. I'm 18 and have like £2000 saved up from kitchen porter work so far.
>>696976726
See, I've gotten myself into a particular situation. For each semester of school, I was given a loan, two semesters a year means two sets of loans. Now I wasn't told that these loans wouldn't be rolled into a single loan payment, each one counted as a separate loan and each one has it's own monthly payment. I have 8 loans with 8 monthly payments and 8 separate interest rates. If i was up to date on my payments I could consolidate those loans into a more manageable single monthly payment but, since I am not current on the payments, I can't do that until they are current. My wages are also garnished from 3 of the loans at this point and I have gotten a tax return in 2 years because the dept. of education takes that too. Im pretty fucked.

Pic related.
Born into poverty. Icebox Soup was a frequent menu item. But initially at least we had each other. Time went on and family broke apart. Hopped between parents. Parents were old junkies, as was older sister. Brother was an idiot and a floater, ended up in his own spiral. I knew that the only way I would survive was on my own. Studied my fucking ass off and got good grades. Had to keep changing colleges for money reasons. Graduated with a degree in Chemistry and a few papers under my belt from working in a lab on the side. Went on to get my PhD and post-doc in chemistry-nanotechnology. Middle of the Recession, no fucking jobs, after a year and a half of searching, get a job with government. People I trained graduate and have starting salaries $120k+. Mine was $55k. I live in a place where you can't survive on that. Wife became disabled and I'm sole income. Surviving by the skin of my teeth. My biggest problem has been my entire life believing people when they told me I wasn't good enough, that I was a worthless piece of shit. Nobody wants to give a job and money to that guy. Slowly building my confidence since I got this job, but not going to lie, it has been tough. I don't ask to be rich, but I'd like, for once in my life, not to feel the crushing weight of skating on thin ice. Last month my wife was in pain so bad she was vomiting. Thank god I have insurance, so all the medical bills were only $1,500. Where the fuck do I find that kind of money? Lucked out- first time in a year or more, OT is being offered at work at a whopping 1.3x. Come January I won't be eligible for it anymore. Working 12 hour shifts this whole week, plus 1.5 hour commute. Weekends putting in 10 hours OT each day. I'm exhausted thinking about money all the time, I don't know how other people don't. It's not even about money to buy STUFF STUFF STUFF. It's about quality of life. I don't have much, but we are never hungry, we have a roof over our heads, the electricity it never shut off. I'm proud.
>>696977121
That's good.
I made this taxi driving, but left a year ago.
I passed my HGV class 2 the other week so just moving up, class 1 in a few years maybe.
Food retail might seem a shit job but it depends who you work with. When I was doing it the rest of the staff where perfect, best three years of my life.
>>696976268
damn how do people get fkd over so badly? life isn't that hard if you are smart about your spending and if you always think about the future. Is there anything more you can do to either increase your earning potential or decrease your expenses? You need to to at least one of these (preferably both at this point) and then write a plan out for the next 10-20 years so that you know what you need to do to become financially independent.
hopefully the bank in dubai doesnt mind
>>696977521

You are saying this quite comfortably behind your computer screen aren't you? Sitting in your 300$ gaming chair that mom bought for you, whilst sipping on hot cocoa and having tabs on the "latest anime episodes" weaaboo music playing in the backround on full blast and mlp tabbed. Ah, quite comfy, ain't it. Anonymity sure is great. You can say whatever you want because no one will know who you truly are.
You believe you are hardened. An edgy hero. But in reality, you are really just scum. A useless shit stain. A waste of space. No purpose in life other than to leech off of the hard work of others. People like you need to be eradicated. The world doesn't need your shit. You are better off dead, faggot.

No, well fuck it depends, I got sick of the people, shit shit same day for eight years, get asked the same questions 30 times a day.
I love driving, that's all i've done for 14 years, I lasted eights years... it must have been the driving that kept me there, ide never sit in an office again.

>>696977203
not sure if it's the same, but in the U.K people have gone through similar, basically tell all the loan companies look I can't afford all this shit, so they either have IVF(single payment plan, not quite bankruptcy but down that route), or tell the companies I can only give you this certain amount, otherwise sue me cos I can't do it anymore. More than likely theyd accept your offer cos by suing you they prob wouldn't get anything if you don't own anything. Provided the payments aren't ridiculously low.
>>696978102
I feel like I'd enjoy an office job or something similar. I've heard being a bus driver is easy, too. And ik what you mean, I feel bad for taxi drivers who have deal with drunk people.
>>696977502
It's certainly more than my worthless parents ever did. I get amazed when I hear about other people's student loans. I went to the expensive amazing college Freshman year and got right the fuck out of there afterward. I don't know what the fuck you people were thinking when you agreed to these debts, but you signed the fucking forms and you got your silly useless piece of paper, and now you have to pay for it. Me, I was paying off my loans while still in college, and now I'm down to <$5,000. It's a PITA, but christ when I hear about people $250,000 in debt for their degree in puppetry, I am mystified.

My father was a cunt too, I met him once when I was 10 and then he went back to prison for attempted murder. Just remember that blood means nothing. Think to yourself, if this person wasn't related to me would I bother with them?
>>696978537
Holy shit this sounds familiar. I'm genuinely sorry Anon, I am in a surprisingly similar situation. Wife and I finally decided that we will never have kids unless maybe 10-20 years from now we adopt...which is kinda fucking heartbreaking, but what else can we do? Hang in there, and don't be afraid to be honest with your gf.
