you're gonna have to define extravagant for me.

With 350k a year you could
- Save every penny and retire after 15 years (5.25m)
- Travel the fucking world
- Live frugally as a renter and buy a home in cash a few years later
- Have many kids without financial worry
- Dine out 3x a week at your citie's most expensive restaraunt

but im interested what you think is extravagant

His name is Easter toad, originally he was used on /int/ by Australians to banter Americans. He would be posted along with the quote "Why don't Americans celebrate Easter?" referring to the fact that Easter is not a national holiday in the United States. This became really popular on the board and man variations were created. More recently alt right Twitter rediscovered him, gave him ears and named him "groyper" after the Twitter user that posted him a lot. It always astounds me how few people know of Easter toad now and act like he is a recent phenomenon even though he goes back to at least 2013

Normies believe in the myth of fuck-you money. They believe that there is some magic threshold beyond which they can forever be rid of their problems.

What they don't realize is that while some problems go away as you get wealthy, you actually wind up trading one set of problems for another the richer you get. If you told them that you'd be spoiling their fantasy, and so they won't accept it. They also won't accept affluent people living in any way that doesn't fit their idea of what affluence should look like for the same reason.

I agree with what you're saying for the most part but I will add a caveat. The "problems" the rich have are certainly not the same struggles poor, or even middle class people face.

When you've got fuck you money, you certainly don't worry where your next meal is coming from, having a roof over your head (poor people problems).

When you're rich, you don't have to worry about having a medical issue preventing you from making a mortgage payment (middle class problems).

Nothing more annoying than the faggots that laughed at me when I told them about crypto in 2014 attempting to give me financial advice now that I have a large sum of money.

They don't understand a good investment when they see one and like most lottery winners would blow all their gains on retarded shit that they don't need if they were in your shoes.

I went looking for concrete examples.

>Gerald Muswagon, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, won $10 million in 1998. He bought cars for friends and family, and made his new house into a “party pad.” Eventually, he’d spent all his money and he took a minimum-wage job to support his six children and his girlfriend. In 2005, just seven years after his big win, he took his own life.

No, people paint huge targets on their back. I can't speak on every state, but the ones I am familiar with have the option to remain anonymous.

I think some states require a photop to get the check, which is pretty scary, but you could literally show up wearing a disguise.

People fuck themselves over because all that money doesn't allow them to think straight.

I'd almost immediately go to a lawyer at a reputable firm that deals with this kinda money, not some jr associate. Don't go to your local lawyer in podunk Mississippi because even he will try to his hands on your cash.

Go to Manhatten where those sums of money are normal. Document it. Get more than one lawyer from a different firm involved. Lock your money up for a time period so you can think about all that shit before blowing it and getting unwanted attention

Go travelling around the world to exotic countries, go clubbing every week, buy an expensive car in the 50k range, stuff like that. That's what normies consider extravagant and think 350k is enough for it. Yes, it's enough but it's better to reinvest and turn it into a few millions because that's barely enough to buy a good house

How familiar are you with buying properties? You will never buy a $250k house in any decent city. You might buy a normal house in the countryside which might need some restoration and that's about it.
$1 million house isn't as extravagant as you think. That buys you a normal house in a city or a very good house in the countryside. Extravagant houses cost $5 millions plus.

As for what's extravagant for me is basically owning more than what I need. A flat in a city, a countryside house, a beach house, a Greek private island, a good daily drive car, a good exotic car, a small yatch, collect expensive things such as rare coins, go on peculiar adventures around the world a few times a year, etc.
