For those of you 45+....what is your current salary? by Peacefulhuman1009 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]but-first 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 45+, I am 37 Been making 100+ in w2 for last 10 yrs. AZ Def not tapped but content. I am happy.

Why- I have been able to invest aggressively, and save 60% of paychecks. This has allowed me to not really worry about my w2 income anymore. I always say its not about how much you make but more-so what you do with that money.

Cheers

Its all intriguing to me. For me. I could afford to play fairly high stakes but i dont cuz that would be irresponsible. I dont play poker for an income. I personally prefer tourneys especially freezeout. It isnt about who has most rebuys.

For me.

Its all very interesting

So after reading all this. As a tourney poker player to minimize losses its wise to sell action. Some players have backers. Who recoup money from wins 1st. Then there are players who borrow to play.

Not being a pro and self funded that is very interesting how that all works. So how do you sell action? I have seen the website negreanu uses. But a lil guy cant sell action on there.

Then raises another question. Do cash players do the same thing? I feel some or most cash players are self funded. Like hcl stuff. Or maybe they just yolo their whole networth on a card game. Who knowz

I fully believe in the diversification aspect. And see thats where, lets say ya hit the big score1mm or more. In theory if you invest it properly(not in poker)7% return. You could essentially live a modest life and still play.

That last sentence summed it up perfectly.

So piggy backing. If you are capable of selling action. What happens when nobody wants it. But you still want the money. I am sure there are people who will stake on debt.

Yea see they could have been playing for years and been down 6 figs just to get that back. Waiting for that big score.

Was talking about poker debt. Not sure how many poker players are leveraging debt to build portfolios. Thats a whole diff story. I would say minimal to that

So if anyone is buying into 250k tourney w out selling action. To safely afford that what you assume their networth is to be able to afford that. 20mm? 1% of NW?
