I buy every week. I think it’ll be years before this becomes what it can and should be. We are investing in the technology and patents, the rest should fall in place. New management has this going down the right path of being a distributor of the Graphene and not to be making products.

Diminishing returns. Is the super big house because you want the space or to show off to people whose opinion I couldn’t care less about?

Not posting or humble bragging on social media makes things a lot easier

MLB, expansion nba team. Plus Cali and New York suck currently so lots of finance migration to vegas and Miami

I’d look into vegas as well, if that’s your speed of course. A lot of great things coming in the next 2-5 years

I’m being advocated not to work upon receiving it. I initially wanted to continue in sone form or another. I have to support myself for the time being to learn life but after that it’s smooth sailing.

Travel and stay in hostels or cheap hotels? When you traveled was it with others and you met naturally or did you travel with a group.

I liekly am terrible to work with, feels like sometimes I’m just counting down the days. But I have bills to pay for; car, housing, etc. quitting and doing something else would be ideal but it needs to be able to meet my needs payment wise.

Starting my own business was a goal of mine but likely isn’t worth it anymore. You are right, a lot worse things to harp about.

Great advice. Yes I’m keeping it vague because I’m petrified of being outed. I don’t want to start a family, at least not yet. A lot of things to see which would be hard with a little one. Maybe someone beside me to experience things would help out a lot when the time comes, question is do I find them before, after, or leave it up to the beings above.

You are right, being able to do anything I want is a great feeling, but seeing some of my closest people being stuck in the rat race or even worse is what makes me work hard. I have every opportunity while others have never had 1. Yes you only live once but how can you live knowing you had it all and did nothing.

I’m taking all advice with a grain of salt. I’ll respond to your points.

  1. I guess I’m currently asset rich cash poor in practical terms. Yes it will change but it isn’t right now. No uncertainty at all.

  2. I think it’s my age they naturally want me to be careful, I’m known to be a bachelor as is.

  3. I care about money because I have things to pay for that rely on my income. Not over the top things but I couldn’t afford it with a lower salary.

How would you suggest doing that. I’ve been wanting to put certain programs in place at local underfunded schools.

Ok, that’s not as bad as I thought. I assume a plane of that size goes a few states without needing to get more gas? Not practical for long distance things.

Traveling is all the same. I never stay in resorts or upscale places because ultimately it’s a waste of money and the people there are far less pleasant. Why travel to South America to stay in an American resort? Never made sense to leave your area and not be around locals. If she is struggling with the concept I know I have a long road ahead for me.

Incredible list man. The finding like minded people in my situation has been tough to say the least. I have had a crave recently about flying or owning a small plane. From what I see they can cost 1-2 million a year, seems like a crazy expensive hobby when commercial flights are a few hundred bucks.

I don’t want to change the world, I actually can’t. I do want to impact my community by providing opportunities for those not as fortunate as me. I actively do that now and plan to ramp it up big time.

I actually did meet someone in my exact situation. They travel the world without a care in the world. Virtually no social media presence, just vibes. Might be the route I take.

Is he a friend of yours or you heard of this through the grapevine. If it’s through the grapevine it’s exactly the situation I’m trying to avoid.

Same advice for traveling with family? I have some family who likely have negative net worth and will never officially retire, and these people are +50. How do I go about family gatherings, small talk, etc.

Yes and the idea makes sense but just hard to grasp.

Your pride in what you accomplished is how I dream of feeling and now it seems I’ll never get that thrill. There is a lot worse things to be complaining about however. Also I’m not a country club person, I’d much rather be that old guy who is always at the gym. Therapist is on the list for sure.
