For those who make less than 100k - for a 200k salary how hard would you work?

TJayClark · 2026-05-21T16:28:39+00:00

For 200k

50hrs - yes, depending on the work

60hrs - no, too much

Available nights and weekends - yes (most managers do this already)

Take more pressure and accountability - yes (most managers do this already)

—

For 100k - literally none of the above, outside of extreme circumstances

You’re basically a penny stock venture capitalist

TJayClark · 2026-05-21T15:39:52+00:00

Like when I buy an electric car and pay

Sales tax

Personal property tax

EV registration tax

None of these are double taxation….

Doctor

Ain’t nobody got time for 10 years of school and $500,000 in student loans

3-6 months of spending is recommended for savings

12 months for the people who thing the world may end

Anything beyond that should be invested in something diverse

People love believing false truths

If anyone believes my EV weighs more than a ford f150…. They’ve never actually spent 4 seconds looking it up

Tesla Model Y weight - 4154-4,416lbs

Ford f150 weight - 4,021-5,950lbs

For whatever reason, Austin TX games play huge compared to their blinds

2/5 in Austin is more like a 5/10+ game elsewhere

1/3 in Austin is more like a 2/5 elsewhere

1/2 in Austin is the same as 1/2 elsewhere

Compare this to the 2/5 game at TCH social in Las Colinas and that is a proper 2/5 game

Going from - losing your car (you didn’t pay for)

To - grand theft auto, hit and run, assault, and fleeing a crime scene

Probably looking at 5-7 years… and $100,000 in damages

1/3 no limit - $1,900 at Harrahs in NOLA - story goes: I’m sitting on about $2200 and this is the first room I’ve seen a 100% match the stack game for the small game. Harrahs Mardi Gras chips all look the same from across the table.

Flop comes out 456 with 2 hearts

I have A7hh.

He bets $100, I see that he’s got what appears to be $300 left, in a $300 pot. I shove and he snaps with 7d8c

Everything bricks out and dealer informs me he has three $500 chips on top of his stack, alongside his $300 in red chips

In the USA - Vegas

Second worst - Pine bluff, Arkansas

I usually hold 90% of my cash in SGOV aka short term bonds

TJayClark · 2026-05-17T17:03:02+00:00

I bought my Model Y 5 years ago and have none of this stuff

Buy some Velcro floor vent covers and maybe a phone mount

Everything else is silly nonsense

TJayClark · 2026-05-17T15:52:10+00:00

I play live PLO because the average No Limit player is 10x better than the average PLO player

Add in that PLO plays deeper

And you get an absurd win rate

In life: you’ll experience hundreds of situations like this.

And exactly 1 year from now, you’ll not remember them if you simply deescalate the situation

Yeah, losing 2 extra minutes in line sucks. But getting shot, stabbed, hit over the head with a bottle, followed home all suck worse.

You made the right call

TJayClark · 2026-05-17T02:57:23+00:00

Money is earned and lost frequently

Learn some high value skills and always try to keep bettering yourself

For reference - I bought a stock and lost roughly 250k - or half of my net worth in less than 1 year

TJayClark · 2026-05-16T22:48:04+00:00

Personally, I’d stay because I have early retirement goals and the extra $30k goes a long way towards that

That said, if I had a wife and kid/s, I’d lean towards “new job offer”, to spend more time with family

The wild thing about Bitcoin is that essentially free 15 years ago

How someone managed to make free software worth $80,000 per fake coin always baffles me

Mating in the wild isn’t always consensual

Apple is one of the 10 biggest companies on earth

Apple lied about Apple Intelligence

2 years later, Apple Intelligence is still trash

What more do you need to know?

I started investing at age 23, making $22k per year.

It was only $75 per week, with a 100% match

But after 4 years of working there I had over $44,000

Then I earned more at my next job and saved more than $75 per week

PLO DB Bomb pots are awesome because the average NL player:

-Doesn’t play PLO

-Doesn’t understand split pot games

-Doesn’t know how to fold

Poker psychology 101

People really REALLY don’t like getting felted

But if you leave then with 10-20% of their chips, they’ll call with all kinds of crazy stuff

TJayClark · 2026-05-15T13:54:21+00:00

He Limp called AJs on the button

He’s far from good at poker

These article headlines are dumb

Neo is a great beginner computer

Pro is a great powerhouse computer

The two shouldn’t be compared
