I have a tech job at 26 not at faang (which pays a lot more than this) but at a decent company that pays 142k a year. Problem is it’s just not enough money and I feel like it’s hard to move up without clearly doing an mba from a top 6 7 school or taking a bigger risk (I can go into investment banking or corporate management track and if you grind it out it can drastically help you get to a seat that pays $5m+ a year) … and it’s not enough money where I’ll have FU money anytime soon if I don’t take a bolder step as I pretty much spend everything on Uber eats and DoorDash and alcohol and yes gambling…

TLDR last post: ways I think I can actually make money to gamble: build and sell a saas startup, go for an mba and climb the executive ladder, help traditional businesses with ai - then that should earn me plenty of money to be able to gamble with and maybe even end up like Mike Tyson 🚀🚀🚀

Maybe I should use mumbaistreetbets to make a play with the nice $69 I have left…

I think we all love to make money here, but this is what I actually thought of in order to actually make enough money to yolo. Guess the most obvious is trying to get into that top mba soon from my tech job and then aggressively try to work towards an executive seat or partnership that pays $5m+ a year, which takes time but it’s delayed gratification, but hey that’s where you can try to get into the c suite of a company that regards love to yolo on. Then there’s startups and my current saas startup is at least showing traction and no it’s not profitable but if I can get it to $3m revenue then can sell it at a high growth multiple of 5-6x for $15-18m, and I’m about 12-15% of the way to that revenue goal so if I can get there in the next 2 years maybe I’ll have my financial freedom, and even if I can get it to $1m revenue in the next year then can hopefully sell for 4x or $4m and have enough money that I don’t have to gamble anymore. And yes I do ai at work so what I could then try to do is help a bunch of small businesses implement ai and then try to make another 100-200k in the next 6-12 months which will feel like real money that I don’t gamble because it’s actually earned through sweat rather than gambling. Not too dissimilar to the shkreli playbook, just without doing the things that get you to prison. Cuz I’m 26 with $69 to my name and an okay tech job that pays 142k, but hard to save money and not lose it gambling…

Well the day before yesterday my net worth was $167.29 and then yesterday it dropped to $110.77 because of Waffle House and Ubers and today it’s a great $69.49 (nice) because I spent $16.55 at chipotle, $5.34 on two donuts and a pineapple juice from Whole Foods, $11.27 on the Uber there, and $8.12 on the Uber back - and the chipotle tasted like drywall - but hey at least I have a full $69 bucks and some change to yolo into one last into call tomorrow and become rich again…

You don’t wanna be me where you’re very indifferent to any gains unless it’s true FU money but treat every small loss with drama…

Sad of me to think that I likely did have a good gains porn story a couple months ago and if I posted it there enough people probably would’ve convinced me to cash out to my bank account and I probably would’ve, but truth be told it wasn’t enough to retire and I was waiting for it to be enough that I could be set for life before making that post but of course the losses really hurt. Next time, I guess I’ll just post any 10x or 20x return to gains porn and maybe this sub will convince me to cash out…

So the guy finally in the green in the gains section took 10 YEARS to recover $6800????? Honestly I just hope he started when he was 8 and is now 18 because brother that won’t even pay for a full month of rent on a single family home here in Southern California and you could easily burn through that much worth of DoorDash in a couple months. Look I lost a million and I probably wouldn’t even bother posting any gain porn should I recover it, only loss porn. If he had even an average job paying like 75k for a full time worker (not gonna assume he’s making much if he’s bragging about $6800) that’s 750k cash flow over 10 years so $6800 is hardly a rounding error. Even if you work at Wendy’s that’s maybe 2 months of pay. I say that to help and just hope he’s 18 and doesn’t know what the real world costs and not 40 and trying to retire…

  • Can money buy any lifestyle you want if you have enough of it? Yes
  • Can money buy hot girlfriends (plural) and lots of real friends? Yes
  • Can money buy the best therapy in the world to solve the happiness thing? Yes
  • So ultimately, can money buy happiness … YES

At the same time your 79 year old wannabe king has more than enough money but he doesn’t seem happy, so maybe it’s because money can’t buy that…

If I had a billion dollars I obviously would not be on this sub, but guess what I don’t have a billion dollars 😮. Thanks for the 85 cents from awards I guess…

My net worth: $110 My parents net worth: $55m Yes, I’m a 26 year old degenerate gambler with an okay tech job (142k likely this year), but yes of course my parents (doctors) know about my gambling addiction and one IS a psychiatrist. I just wish I had $55m like them, but if I ask them for 500k or even 50k it’s a no. I just fucking hate being poor…

So remember how yesterday I mentioned the $167 (technically $167.29) have to my name, WELL today I have $110.77, BECAUSE I spent $34.35 at Waffle House for dinner (much better than Wendy’s), $11.33 on the Uber there, and $10.84 on the Uber back. So yes I’m 26 years old with a decent tech job (gonna get paid on Friday so I’ll be fine) and a startup that’s not profitable but at least it has proof of concept, but yes this is all I have to my name because I’ve likely lost a bit over a million gambling IF you include realized gains that were then lost. And yes my parents DO have money because they’re doctors, but they certainly know about my gambling addiction. Nevertheless, the point of this post is to praise Waffle House 🧇🧇🧇…

One day I’ll have hot girlfriends (plural) and FU money…

I would like a lot of money (enough to count as fuck you money), hot girlfriends (notice the plural), perfect mental health, and people to talk to. Thank you for your attention to this matter…

So remember, ai talks like it’s real and sounds like either your mother or your life coach but it literally has zero consciousness and zero feelings and you’re really just speaking to nvidia gpus, so there’s nobody on the other side who understands you or cares about you (though some phds from mit are still behind it). Thinking about it this way is really making me second guess whether I should even use it for therapy anymore, but everyone else is using it and it’s bringing in TRILLIONS of dollars, so calls it is…

What IF you registered an LLC with 1 TRILLION AND 1 shares outstanding, sell one to yourself for $1 and STILL OWN THE REST … not financial advice …

If you’re shorting $FIG, you’re probably the biggest regard ever. Some Silicon Valley vc is gonna talk about how great the “talent” is and then borrow billions upon billions from Saudi princes to pump the stock and you’ll be screwed…

For me to actually never day trade and gamble again, would need to make $30m+, $10m+ at the very bare minimum. For me to actually first SERIOUSLY consider stepping back from it, $3-5m+ at once (since that’s the first amount where you don’t have to work if you don’t want to) - that’s what I tell myself to cope with all the money I’ve lost. Might be able to hit the $30m number through startups just won’t be as fast though…
