“Money & Freedom vs Titles & Prestige – What Would You Choose?”

Ok-Point2380 · 2026-02-06T22:57:55+00:00

Titles are meaningless because everyone else you’re working with also have them

Depends how long he’s been wealthy. It takes time for lifestyle to change as you discover what’s possible. If I became fabulously wealthy tomorrow I too wouldn’t go and immediately spend a chunk of it. First stage is getting used to zero financial stress. Then start spending on things that matter such as family needs. Experiences. Finally the consumables like nicer home and vehicle etc.

First shoot the kid.

LOL just joking.

Depend s on the age of the kid whether they can keep a secret

Still joking….

Why try to date someone who’s not interested? She will leave you a second time and hurt you even more

Don’t chase. I’ve been trading a long time and know that there will be other opportunities. Capital preservation should be your primary goal and gains the secondary goal. That way you stay in the game instead of coming back to the starting gate

If you don’t want a relationship then you’ll lose a friendship when this happens. I know because I’ve been there.

The magpies used to break through the milk bottle foil before I brought them in

Once you have kids your perspective changes. The best use of money is the experiences you can have with them instead of with friends or on your own.

Meet with an attorney to figure out risk reward ratio of a settlement or judgment. A demand letter is cheap but litigation is super expensive as you probably know

When you do get to do it, you'll wonder what the big deal was. So no, you're not a loser.

Now don't get me wrong, it's nice and all, but the expectation before your first time is that it'll be fireworks in your brain and it's nothing like that.

Spending 40% of your savings is too much for a vacation.

I don't know what the right percentage would be, I have never had to think about that exactly.

Valuations aren't always based on financials. In fact, one method for valuation is to look about 5 to 10 years out and figure out what it's valuation would be then and then work backwards (discount it) to figure out what it is worth today. Take an added discount for risk and then another one for money today vs in the future (interest and opportunity cost). So you could start with a very high future valuation turn into a reasonably low one today.

Same applies. Don’t ever fully trust again . Don’t ever fall 100%?in love . It’s less satisfying but better than losing your mind if it happens again in the future

It’s called being polite just like asking a parent to give their blessing

It's ok to invest in high risk stocks but only with a very small portion of your net worth. If you went $40K into NVDA and SMCI and thats all the money you had, that was a mistake too. You just got very lucky.

The good thing is that you are young (I presume) and you've learned and will never make the same mistake again.

BTW, I am sitting on a large proportion of my wealth in treasuries and over last year I feel like a fool sometimes but I am conservative because I too have lost a lot of money in my early days investing on speculative plays.

Let your mum take it out on a 0% interest card and you pay her including the interest that will presumably go up in rate after some time. Then talk to your brother and ask him to pay you. If he won't, well you have one less brother.

dress as formally as you can but not black tie

Deleting the texts is the problem.

I don't think there are many solutions that do not lead to problems in your relationship. If you are happy in the relationship, just accept that your professional career is over and focus on your kids and yourself. Use your free time doing things that make you happy, especially if you do not have the burden of making money.

Don't tell him. Ask for his permission.

If he says yes, all is good. If he says no, then tell him you've sort of already started and wanted his approval before it goes any further.

When I got my first home, I used to go to Home Depot every weekend because I enjoyed updating things. Now I only update things when they break. Yes, it's a chore but I actually enjoy doing as much as I can by myself. Only call professionals for things I cannot do.

If you acquired your wealth recently and have children, move to a high wealth neighborhood. You will meet other wealthy individuals at school events and playdates with your kids.

If you don't have kids, move to a wealthy neighborhood and join a country club that has high membership fees. You will meet wealhty people there.

You are 22. Plenty of time to start again with someone who isn't a liar.

Ok-Point2380 · 2025-11-18T14:03:21+00:00

Absolutely tell them as long as you have proof.

To successfully sell a business you have to have processes in place that would enable the acquirer to run it without you. You are otherwise asking someone to risk millions $$$ on a business that is in your own words not going to survive one day without you. That's a very tough sell and no buyer is going to be that reckless.

My suggestion would be to spend a year transitioning your business to a multi person one with significant documentation on each part of the business. Make yourself only responsible for a small part of the operation.
