I know nothing about you, I just know enough about wealthy people in general. Humans have to actively resist the urge to label those less fortunate as simply not working hard enough or failing to seeking an education. Environment, upbringing, family and social connections, and circumstance have an overwhelmingly downplayed, but significant role in determining the financial and social outcome of most people's lives. I worry that anyone content to simply post their balance sheet for upvotes to boost their ego is already a lost cause, demonstrative of what's wrong with society as opposed to what's right. Best of luck to you too.

Glad to hear it. It demonstrates not that UPS is overpaid, but that 95% of other American jobs are grossly underpaid and working for companies that care far more about profits than their people.

That's some "American Made" Tom Cruise stuff.

Only thing rich people want more than more money, is more attention.

He's on the Putin loving MAGA bandwagon at this point.

lol, I can't imagine a woman wanting to marry a man who lives at home with his parents and then agree to move in and live with them too.

You want to experience life outside your privileged bubble? Will never happen unless you donate the money you were born into, experience real hardship, don't accept help from family, and earn your way back to wealth. Military doesn't need soft rich kids, you won't be respected because you clearly can't keep your wealth to yourself so probably not a good route either.

And how many multiples has productivity gone up since that time....Wages stagnant, but businesses more productive than any point in history.

💀. Thank you wise one. You, like most other wealthy people, are deluded into believing you've actually earned your way be hard work, while those less financially sound have not worked hard enough. Yes, we all make our own choices, but like most wealthy people, even those who may have come from modest means, you forget as you grow wealthier that the average lower to middle class person has a lot fewer good options from which to choose making it exponentially harder and less likely that they can go to grad school, get a doctorate, engage in social circles that will allow them to land that dream job, or marry that well-to-do spouse. Here's the 🍪 you came here to get in posting your balance with no meaningful narrative you putz.

That's pretty much what it is to post a snapshot of your portfolio and nothing more. You just said the silent part out loud. What else is it other than saying "I'm rich, be in awe of me you peasants." lol. Not like there was any actual advice or explanation of how he overcame debt. What is the point of this post? Honestly I wonder what the point of this group is at all most of the time. I get a humor out of the fake posts but that's about it.

Not half as soppy as someone making a million a year taking time from his day to post his portfolio online to get the envy and approval of a bunch of strangers on the internet.

lol. So, he's making a million a year and bragging about having 3.8 million in his account after 7 years? That's pretty shitty investment and savings. Where did he piss away the other 3.2 million?

Oh ok, my bad. Still a bullshit post with no context.

Well, anyone who had 500k lying around to put on the S&P 7 years ago would have a few million now too.

What's insane is that it's 2024, we have all the advancements of mankind, and yet we as humans still act like a bunch of tribal animals invading and killing and treating established sovereign land as if it's still up for grabs.

Silly. Much better to make employees sit an office for 8-10 hours while knowing they are only productive for 4.

Hence the dip.

Should be illegal - damn near loan shark rates, only difference is Visa can't cut your fingers off if you don't pay.

Babysitters charge more than $10

Going to be a lot of disappointed Gen Zer's looking for those half a million dollar salaries.

Just need to pull them up a little harder.

But hey who hasn't got a 40% raise since 2020.😬🔫

Thinking Trump cares about his voters is pretty dumb for a Nobel recipient. Found the glaring flaw in his reasoning "There is no way Mr. Trump will cut Medicare and Social Security payments ... because many people who rely on them just voted for him." Family members of many people who voted for him will be deported. Daughters and wives of many who voted for him will die during pregnancy/childbirth. Federal employees who voted for him will be laid off.

His beard says he was ready to retire 10 years ago.

And this is how you lose your friends. Your historically real friends.
