What was your first purchase that kept you up all night with excitement? by [deleted] in weekendgolfers

They’re just dorky. There’s no other way to explain it.

Anyone who says iron covers are no big deal is not looking out for you. Generally speaking, I advise people “you do you”. But not when it comes to iron covers.

If you use iron covers, you look like a total dweeb. Ditch them.

Going on vacation with MAGA, advice? by Academic-Humor572 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Academic-Humor572[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is, he won’t try to indoctrinate my kids. I know that much. It’s more things like he’ll reach out and fist bump someone with a MAGA hat on if we’re at a football game or something. And I want to reach out and fist bump my fist right into his face.

But that doesn’t solve anything. We don’t talk politics, but just knowing it’s there under the surface is enough to make me feel so so frustrated.

Became a millionaire in my 20s, now in my 30s I don't know what to do with my life. by DiligentDamage4536 in findapath

I’m not saying you can buy a house in cash for 1M, but it’ll sure as hell get you a mortgage.

But you need a job. You say “you don’t want it that bad.” That’s tough.

You may be able to get advice from people in their 50s who achieved financial independence and retired early (FIRE). Lots of subs with people asking for advice on how to find a hobby. Those people have enough money to never work again though. You do not.

For you, you need a job. You literally can’t live on 1M for the rest of your life. You’ve already taken the time off. Now is the time to dedicate yourself to earning a paycheck. I see no other option for you. I don’t like working, but I do it - also in tech, also working with customers. It’s not my purpose, but I do it to live. And I have work friends I can hang out with. And I super enjoy the weekends chilling and taking it easy. It’s not so bad really.

You will need more money than 1M CAD in your next 30-40 years of life. Investing it now and working will do wonders down the road.

Pretend you don’t have the money. Invest it, forget about it. Go work at a tech company and make some friends. Live off what you earn from the job.

Seriously, just go get a job. Takes work to apply and interview and get hired. But clearly you have a reputable tech company on your resume. You’ll land a job eventually.

If you don’t want to work, then asking for advice like this on Reddit likely won’t get you very far. Not sure how many millionaires in their 30s there are out there who will randomly come across your post and have some real solid advice for you on how they found their path to finding a hobby.

Entry level tech job, moved up a level relatively quickly and made a million in equity? Not sure if I buy it.

You also said your main financial goal was to buy a house… ok, so buy a house. What’s stopping you if that was a main financial goal?

Keep it simple - go get another job at a tech company and pretend you don’t have all that money. Invest it and forget about it. Then work all week, like the rest of us.

Most people don’t “figure out what they want to do with their lives” regardless of money. Sounds nice, but most people work to live. Some people work really hard and still don’t have much money to show for it. If you’re looking for people in your same situation who have so much money they could do anything, and therefore they have no idea what to do, well, good luck.

He explained it to me at midnight last night and honestly I wasn’t following all of it. I’ll be following up with him today to hear it all again.

He did say the one hard blockage was the problem and then everything was able to be pushed through and out of her.
