If it makes you feel better I couldn't say I was good a few months ago.This thread is doing something to me. I'm just going to watch my happy box now.

Keep at it, you're bound to find something you like. Make lists if you have to; list thinks you like and what you want out of work/life.Well unlike you I'm not anywhere close to knowing what I want and I've never worked hard for anything. Things will not get any better before I turn 40, if ever.
Only if dog can do tricks.
Or get promised stock that never pays and used to hold your wage back, while carrying a workload that far exceeds your pay. Then try to move on and have a company question your position given your level of experience.
It goes both ways. The pay at larger companies can be far better long term, even if your trajectory isn't as rapid in terms of position changes in name only. For every startup that succeeds there are many more that fail, torpedoing your stock with it. The great thing about startups is usually your hours and conditions can be far more flexible than at a big company. Working remotely or going over a couple days on vacation usually isn't a problem.
16 hours? How are you still alive?My wife and I make over $230k but I am miserable. My boss hates me and I have been working 16 hours a day all week.
That is one of the cleanest wallruns I have ever seen.
Yeah. It's been a ride. Not even 30 yet so it will only get better.

My net worth is about $12 million right now. I moved to Japan twenty years ago, was a big consulting firm lawyer and partner until retiring last year at 40. Made regular six figures until my annual salary crossed $600,000 back around 2014. Also have a pension that I didn't fully vest into due to retiring at my age but will still pay me $70,000 annually for life. When my crypto exploded and I cashed out over $2 mil cash, I said that's enough of salaryman life for me and retired. At this point my money will just exponentially increase at a rate I'm comfortable with for my kids an their kids.
Outside of the crypto thing when I was middle-aged, there was no get rich quick scheme or shortcut. I worked 80-100 hour weeks for nearly 20 years.
Tabris has never been near my wealth and I used to troll him on gaf as well lol.

I worked a low-end job, played some poker on the side, my initial bankroll was $10k after saving up.How much did you start with it, and how much of it do you think is luck?
Am I rich as in, do I make a lot of money? No.
Am I rich because I'm happy and I can't wish for anything else?
Also no.
Stocks and poker.I worked a low-end job, played some poker on the side, my initial bankroll was $10k after saving up.
I'd say if you have a solid understand of poker and poker theory you can do well long term. Luck is defined in the moment, not long term.

Gotta learn it overall, some have a knack, I suppose.Hm, I mean do you think that's something anyone can naturally do or do you think you just found a knack for it? Did you ever go through a big loss.
This made me laugh lol.Tabris has never been near my wealth and I used to troll him on gaf as well lol.
Did you go back to school or just a GED?I never thought I'd amount to anything (dropped out of high school and got a GED) now I manage 40 people that drain the life out of me. I'm 30 and have to talk to people that are 30 years older than me about their behavior at work. Not my dream Job per say but I make more money than I thought I would and enjoy it for the most part.
He isn't rich by a long shot. Last time he bragged, he made 100-something thousand in Canadian dollars, and relied on non-guaranteed bonuses to get to 200. This is in Vancouver, where cost of living is massive as well.
I think his dad pays all of his bills and buys him things, so that's why he's able to do rich-people stuff. Maybe that technically does make him rich?
Figures are fine but have zero issue admitting from 23-39, even with a family, my worked owned me. I got to travel the world for business and wine and dine and all that jazz, but in the end, would a 9-5 been better for my physical and mental health? Probably.
I can say I've escaped monetary stress, but I probably escaped that by the time I was 29. So even pulling the trigger and saying fuck everything at 40 was a tough call because your identity becomes the rat race.
Yeh that's fair enough. There is usually a sacrifice somewhere along the line for most people.Figures are fine but have zero issue admitting from 23-39, even with a family, my worked owned me.

So can you go into detail about what you did? I see consulting thrown around a lot, but I've never been sure exactly what that means. You must have been consulting in some very high class areas I assume making this kind of money.
The Human Condition really.All of that info is already here and on gaf, but honestly I don't feel like posting much about that stuff anymore because people tear me to shreds for it.
In regards to consulting, think of it like this. There are giant boutique firms with tons of service lines. The ones I worked in had other firms come and basically say, I want to buy a business in xx country, what are the implications. Even if the deal never goes through, firms pay tens and hundreds of dollars on nothing but high level feasibility reports from subject matter experts like me. Also, in Asia especially, departments are allotted budgets which if they don't spend they get reduced. So a lot of firms blow a lot of money getting profession advisosry services done yearly just to make sure their budget isn't reduced.
In short, it's an endless cycle of humans wasting wealth to create wealth.
let me borrow a dollar

This might help: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consulting_firmOkay, though I have no idea what this means.
Ah, I think I understand kind of, but if you don't want to talk about it further I get it. Sounds like it'd be a hard thing to get into.
Doug Polk does some tutorial stuff. Can find his stuff on YouTube.I've dabbled in this stuff before but usually don't go beyond the online stuff. Any suggestions for materials to read/videos to watch?
