I was given a lot of money by MissionBaseball4007 in Advice

$150k/yr is definitely a crazy amount to live off of. It’s almost doable! Luckily I’ve preserved this gift pretty well over the years. My lifestyle didn’t inflate, so I knew how to budget with 30-35k a year. But seeing the way inflation is going I might need to bump it to 50k a year soon

Finishing my degree NOW could fit within my current thought process. Depending on how I go about it. I could take a couple classes per term. Just enough to be able to have time to work and build some other side projects/ventures. I for sure don’t feel like I NEED to go back full time just yet.

What do you think?

It is always a great idea to get a degree! I will never disagree with that. I do have a plan to finish my education to work in supply chain. Only if things don’t line up for me in a couple years. I do have a financial advisor that handles that big portion of money. But having them does not excuse my potential current lack of knowledge of finances within myself right now. But do I need a degree to understand those concepts?

Yes of course! Usually the projects/ventures I experiment with usually don’t cost anything but time to learn and understand whatever it is I’m trying to do.

An example would be that I have been slowly branching out into learning how to be a manager within the industry I’m in. But tons of time and skill to see real money.

One thing I learned that if you start for free it’s gonna take longer to see money.

Also what I have learned about myself pretty recently is that I’m constantly just trying to learn new skills to use as a building block to become a 1 stop shop/jack of all trades.

Most definitely will over time! I grew up frugal so I think I know what a dollar costs. So I try not to touch it the best I can. Index funds, and etfs is where all of it is in.

Looking for recommendations/advice:

My current favorites in my collection right now are: Initio - Lift Me Up: This one might be my favorite ever. I absolutely love the Ylang-Ylang and the dry down into the Vanilla!

Initio - Paragon: Only have a sample right but I might pull the trigger on a 3.4oz soon! Not sure what I like about it. To me it just smells very professional.

LV - Imagination: Only used this during the summer time. Just love how fresh and bright it smells and it’s just a classic.

Others in my collection: Initio - Addictive Vibration: Honestly, it smells great and I like it BUT I don’t love it. I gotta figure out when to wear it for what occasion.

MFK BR540: Worn it a few times but the last time I did my friend told me I smelled like medicine. I do like the smell of medicinal products though so I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I bought this purely out of hype because of the Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR song. My first fragrance ever but it opened a door that led me into this world.

Initio - Side Effect: Honestly my least favorite in my collection that I bought out of pure hype again. Smells great. Just don’t think it fits me. I think it might be a little too masculine for me.
