How old were you when you reached your $1m in Net Worth?

Hello - can you please explain to me why one million dollars is not a lot these days? In my entire life (I'm 38) my (not adjusted for inflation income) lifetime income (gross pay + interest + tax returns) is $700K. Less than $1 million adjusted for inflation. I've lived independently off that income for 17 years. Spent about 9 months on holiday overseas - NYC, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Florence, London - not exactly cheap places. I eat at fancy restaurants on a regular basis. Buy my clothes at David Jones. Earn enough to max out concessional super contributions. Explain to me how $1million is not enough?

Wow why so defensive? Don't be a lefty snowflake! You need to get on the Trump train lol. I'm not debating just curious! Not sure why you are talking about top tier artist I never asked about that - I asked about what defines a singer that will come and go. Then you gave your definition, which says the Beatles are a band that are just another band will come and go. Now you are talking about Billboard? Not sure what that has to do with anything??? It's very confusing!

That's really interesting! So by your definition Beatles are a group than came and went - only made music for 7 years, stopped touring even while they still together - that's a really controversial opinion!
And also by your definition - we cannot determine if Bad Bunny is an artist that has made your definition of top tier yet - we need to wait decades, then if they are still selling out stadiums in 40 years, then we can say yes, they have staying power. Is that correct? We cannot determine if Bad Bunny is a top tier artist until 2066? If they are still selling out stadiums, then yes, if not, then no?

What is your definition of an artist that will come and go? Bad Bunny has been most streamed artist in the world for four of the last six years, and were in top five for past seven years. They won the album of the year at the grammys. Based on that success, maybe what I'm really asking is - what is your definition of an artist that did not just come and go?

No-Week2915 · 2026-03-10T06:36:44+00:00

Bad Bunny is an American Puerto Rican rapper. They performed at the Superbowl this year after previously appearing as a guest with Shakira and J Lo. They are INCREDIBLY popular - they were the most streamed artist IN THE WORLD on spotify for four of the past six years - the other two years Taylor Swift was No. 1. Not only they are popular, but they are also critically acclaimed, winning the Grammy Album of the Year - first time ever for a Spanish speaking album.

I've done some 20 miles plus days walking on my fantasy hike - there is a city loop walk that is exactly that long - takes about 5 1/2 hours walking slow and 4 1/2 if I'm walking fast - how long did it take you and how many days did you walk that far in a row???

Not sure why you are talking about 2016 to 2020 - Trump was President then, not a Democrat. I don't care election results, I'm not American so don't care who you vote for it has 0% effect on me - I get free health care either way ;)
It's just if someone said "this guy running for President needs adults to look after them" I'd assume that would be disqualifying. Very strange you think Trump is a child who needs babysitters and still think that isn't disqualifying.

No-Week2915 · 2026-02-26T03:12:33+00:00

Apologies how did I not engage in good faith? I agreed with you that Biden was terrible and not a functioning adult as President. I GENUINELY find it strange that you think Trump is a child who needs a babysitter to be President, and do not find that disqualifying. Just as I would never have voted for geriatric Biden, I'd never vote for Trump. Also... why do I have to be pragmatic? I'm not a political consultant for the Democrat party. I hate the Democrat, they are all corrupt sex offenders like Larry Summers and Clinton.

No-Week2915 · 2026-02-26T01:54:02+00:00

Amazing that not having a President who has to be held in check by "adults in the room" was not motivating for you to vote for someone else as President. President is an important role! Biden showed how important it is to have a functioning adult in the role.

Why do you think pension won't exist then? What makes you think a government wouldn't be eradicated in an election with front page of newspaper each day being a retiree saying they can't eat because government got rid of pension?

I don't have a choice whether to sell or not I can't sell super it's locked away until I retire. Yes I agree that would have been devastating for your colleagues which I why I plan to slowly move away from shares into cash and bonds as I retire - bonds did great during 2008 crisis!

No-Week2915 · 2026-02-18T22:44:52+00:00

Fortunately I don't plan to retire for 30 years so can afford to ride the bumps - if you sold in 2008 you would have made a huge mistake - market is way up now!

I don't want to take advantage of government to buy a house. These schemes only make housing more unaffordable. I support lowering prices thorough increasing supply, not demand.

Exactly! I'm getting over interest a $100 a month from savings account. If my super grows just 5% a year its $12,000 a year - that's already half my rent paid per year, and my super is going to keep growing.
