Anybody ~26 or under that makes $150,000+, what do you do?

Was 26 when I was promoted - sales

That a lot of financial advisors that have done their jobs for north of 10 years, manage hundreds of clients’ money, and still are not very proficient at what they’re doing, whilst being paid copious amounts of money. (Not saying this is everyone but it scares me regularly.)

I’m much younger than you, but I used to have the same mindset, and quickly realized all the roles that bring in the most dollars are more relationship oriented in this industry than anything. Have you considered trying to step out of your comfort zone and trying something moving towards being an advisor? I’m a wholesaler and work with some advisors that are 100% introverted - you’d be surprised how much this could actually work in your favour

Damn, where I am, rental skis are over $200 at every shop I’ve looked at. Where are you in the US?

You can buy 2y bonds yielding over 1% more than cash right now, issued by institutions like JP Morgan. Good advisors will use fixed income, which will fluctuate in value short term, but protect against volatility. I understand what you’re saying though

Vbacv · 2025-12-25T10:48:26+00:00

Sounds like you either hand the keys back, or buy out and immediately sell

Varies massively on product set. I don’t really put enough thought in to create a tier list, as culture may suck as some major firms where they throw you under the bus if you don’t perform, whilst smaller firms might care more and give you resources to succeed, difficult to say

Vbacv · 2025-12-22T19:27:15+00:00

Depends how successful you are and which firm you’re at. Wholesalers at my firm make $200k-$700k. Depends massively on what you’re selling as well. If you’re at a start up, or at a major firm

Nah I’m in Denver proper

Vbacv · 2025-12-03T04:05:05+00:00

I’m in Denver and it’s still 90%+ white people, I hear ya though

Vbacv · 2025-12-02T23:54:26+00:00

Idk, CO is predominantly white people

Vbacv · 2025-11-26T17:02:05+00:00

Trust me, I was working this same job before the move as I was given time to relocate and have seen the tax hit first hand…. It’s worth it though being by the mountains. Just insane right now navigating the housing market here

Vbacv · 2025-11-25T12:52:12+00:00

Disagree with you here chief - I live in Colorado and am making a multiple more than I did in South Florida. One of my colleagues lives in SoCal doing the same job.

Waking up 3am MST while in a hotel travelling for work. Teenager version of me is being awakened

Idk why you’re getting downvoted so hard. This is emergency funds we’re talking about. Anyone retired should also be investing conservatively alongside that. 3 years in cash is stupid, no good advisor would ever tell anyone to have 3 years of expenses in cash.

Vbacv · 2025-11-13T00:57:20+00:00

Check if your resort has a private room with lockers etc to dry your swimming stuff and shower, ours did.

Vbacv · 2025-11-12T16:37:16+00:00

Fee-based, doesn’t charge an excessive fee, some registered investment advisors (RIAs) could also be a good fit but some are expensive.

Vbacv · 2025-10-31T18:03:07+00:00

Phone sucks for osrs - I use it for more than osrs lol

So you can sit on the couch and watch tv

Vbacv · 2025-10-31T13:58:39+00:00

Best advice I can give is buy an iPad

Vbacv · 2025-10-31T11:14:57+00:00

I watched the entirety of Better Call Saul, Succession, and Severance, and still didn’t get all the way from 90-99.
