if you worry about money you will worry about something else in the future, most likely an insecurity, if you desire so much how will you ever be able to walk out in the nature 1 day and not worry that you aren't doing anything right now?

Thank you for understanding. I just was curious how much is needed in the bank so you don't have to worry about money issues any longer. I figured it would be a $100,000-500,000 or so.

The question is still retarded, but the math is simple if you absolutely insist upon doing things the hard way (getting rich to not worry about money).

I strongly recommend you change your perceptions of money to fix the route cause of your problem. What it really is and does, and who it works for... all that gay shit.

The only people who don't worry about money are rich and dumb middle class people. The later group lives above their means and, thinking they're invincible and that money isn't important, spend everything they make and live paycheck to paycheck; then they get laid off and their fucked since they have no reserve. The poor are well aware of money's importance for survival and the people who've always been rich have never been without so don't really know the value of money either. Difference between them and the middle class is that the rich can afford to be careless.

>> No.13085026

When you've paid off all our debt there isn't much to worry about. Live within in your means and you'll have money. No worries. People worry about money because they want to buy a lot of shit. Don't buy shit and buy what you need and you won't need a ton of money. It's actually pretty simple.

>> No.13085043

>>13084863
Pretty much my thinking. I grew up middle class and my parents always saved but never invested. I'm trying to let my money grow instead of keeping it holed away in the bank. I'm not a penny pincher but I don't spend money frivolously on entertainment. I'd rather be set for later in life and work and save more the first half of my life.

Lmao. Ultimate cope. I made about 50k working for a bank. It was miserable barely scraping by. I make over 400k annually working for myself (owning and operating a company I created) and my life is 1000% better. I literally spent the day fucking my wife, eating out and buying more shit I don't need for the pool out back. Life is easy when the money is coming easy. Boomer mansion in Texas. No state taxes. S Corp. Ftw. Quit lying to yourself, this shit is great. I would kms before I ever waged again.

It's super important not to cope like this because you need the fire in your belly to take the risks required to succeed in business.

I've been thinking about it anons, what would you do if you actually MADE IT? That is, if you earned about 2 milion dollars in crypto, how would you invest it to get stable and sizeable passive income for the rest of your life- say, 40k$ pa, which would allow you to live work-free in Eastern Europe for the rest of your life? Would you start a business, or would you buy dividend stocks?

Anything over a million dollars. You would still need to work to pay expenses, but if you invested that much you could expect annual returns of 150k. Enough to live off of every year and still have some extra to reinvest with.

Easy. Buy a house for 200-300k cash. Have 200k for a couple of years of expenses. Figure out what to do with the rest, would probably just consult some guys I know about investment opportunities. Leave some in LINK for my node. Then make babies with my gf and figure out a way to make money online, maybe sell the idea that I somehow found the magic pill and am rich now, self help stuff.

I'm 23 and only make $18/hour and have 13k in savings and investments. I don't worry about money at all. However, my parents are retired and travel a lot. So I live in one of their houses with my sister and have no rent to pay. Just utilities and internet.

I've also read that happiness and financial confidence plateaus around 65-70k/year as an average for the US.
