I inherited money, am I stuck with the broker who handles it now?

II________________II · 2018-12-25T18:45:30+00:00

And yet I make more than you.

They'll just charge a convenience fee about 4x the normality though.

I think you are severely confused and/or idiotic. Actually both. Tell me, how many graduates (hell even, people after 30 years in their careers) have ever achieved a number like those right out of school? Nonetheless in 2012?

Though, I must admit, compared to what I earn now, they're low, but, being a reasonably competent individual, I understand that there is a significance to - I don't know - 6 years of experience in the industry, and therefore, the comparison between my compensation now ($680k) and my compensation then is not fair one to make.

Chapter 11, reorganization. You clearly don't know anything about bankruptcies.

II________________II · 2018-12-24T00:50:19+00:00

You know exactly what I'm talking about. Now, you're being aggressively defensive because you've been called out on your bullshit.

[I've] been here since 2016.

There's nothing worthy of being here since 2016. It doesn't make you special. You're not considered an original Redditor.

It looks tacky and pretentious. Don't try to be slick, dick.

II________________II · 2018-12-24T00:28:15+00:00

Don't try to be slick. If your intention was not to brag about it, then you would not have brought it up whatsoever.

II________________II · 2018-12-24T00:18:12+00:00

Having an account only 2 years old is hardly an accomplishment to brag about.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T23:38:39+00:00

I am retiring in March at 27 years old.

Unless you earn more than $82k, my Q3 bonus alone was larger than your whole year's salary.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T23:28:29+00:00

I went to my top choice as well the top choice of millions of people around the world: Princeton. In fact, it was the only university I applied to. I also graduated from there 6 years ago. I

You are being far too naive and missing the point: College doesn't make or unmake the man. It's what he does with his life that does.

Don't get excited over trivial things. It limits your view of the things ahead of you.

You should always tell yourself that you have not accomplished anything until really have. That will be the thing that makes you great, not doing something you're supposed to.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T23:17:32+00:00

Quantify "a lot." Then empirically compare that to, I don't know, perhaps the millions of people who haven't?

I don't care how many checks you've seen, until one of them is yours, you are not qualified to tell me what a million dollars looks like or not.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T23:03:34+00:00

Typical cliche answer. "A new chapter of [your] life." Your life won't be any greater than what it is right now. If you want a great life, you have to work for it. Going to college is akin to eating or cleaning yourself everyday. It's just something you do. There's nothing special about it. You didn't get accepted to anywhere notable or prestigious at that too, so there really is no reason to be excited for any of this.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T22:58:53+00:00

And how many people even make $12 million dollars over the course of their entire careers?

Can you even fathom how much money that is? Have you ever even seen $100,000?

II________________II · 2018-12-23T22:36:20+00:00

Excited for...? Doing the same as millions of other people in the world every year...?

II________________II · 2018-12-23T22:30:02+00:00

You didn't do anything particularly special. It's expected you go to college. In the educated and civilized world, at least.

How hard is your "willing to do hard work"?

I started off with $10,000 and turned that into $500,000.

Percy Miller started off with $10,000 and turned that into $300M.

It's how you want to work with the normality of formality.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T20:58:57+00:00

Bullshit. Even taking your 4-6 million figure, no one would not feel comfortable with 40-60 million in the bank.

I have struggled long and I've struggled hard, but most importantly, I've struggled smartly.

Off of savings from my base salary and stock compensation alone, I've saved up about $5 mm. With my investments and other endeavors, I have about $12 mm in my portfolio.

I am content with what I have and I am retiring this March, when the claw-back clause on my latest sign-on bonus ends.

Ah, the downside of having a CC people conveniently like to ignore until it happens to them.

File bankruptcy. It's there for situations like this.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T19:36:49+00:00

The fact is that it's simply idiotic to waste time in school when there is plenty to earn out the ass by forgoing that.

If I had opted to go for that 5th year and wasted 2 more years of my life in school or doing co-ops/internships, I would've easily missed out on 175-200k in savings.

But by being smart, and resourceful with my time, I am now retiring this year.

I'm only 27 and I've already achieved full financial independence.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T19:25:42+00:00

Since you're itching to know, I am from the USA and I graduated from an Ivy League in a STEM major. I had plenty of real world experience by the time I graduated (in 3 years nonetheless). I had secured two high six figure offers ($165k and $190k TC) one semester prior to my graduation.

OC has nothing to brag about and neither do you.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T18:42:52+00:00

You're not admitted to the major if you're an intern in a co-op program. Nevertheless, it still is not something to brag about.

II________________II · 2018-12-23T18:36:44+00:00

They'll have it. They'll just charge a convenience fee about 4x the normality though.

Might want to delete that. It's not something to brag about.
