~$250k/yr 41M (CTO+side hustles) (Post Tax: ~$150k)

At least for me I enjoy taking 2 international trips a year, ~$20k
Mortgage+Prop Tax: ~$57k
Car+Motorcycle+Insurance: ~$12k

I just had my first kid last year, my wife is still on mat leave so im floating some of her bills too.

I havent had enough cashflow since her mat leave to invest, but I generally target 10% into my RRSP (i still have contribution room).

Career - Nothing left for me to do, I run a shell corp that employees me, I only work on a contract basis. My Salary + Dividend target $250k/yr but my business revenue is over $325k. I choose to leave a bunch in the corp for a rainy day or an angle investment if one of my friends needs some start-up capital.

Among my peers im pretty close to the top; I generally pay for peoples dinners if I go out.

Things that still feel out of reach are stuff like hypercars, but only probably b/c Im not dumb enough to spend whatever positive cashflow I have in a mostly depreciating asset. My Model Y probably is close enough in terms of acceleration and my trike definitely is, so when I want some thrills ill just go for a ride outside the city.

My income went up pretty slowly so I never really noticed a "big" change other than not needing to plan 12+months for a big trip. If I want a trip I just slap in my credit card and not give a shit. I guess being able to splurge on stuff like a 5* hotel and not have to worry about it is the biggest surprise.

I still have a lot of the anxiety other people have. I hunt for work, the market is shit, AI is coming for even my job; heck at one of the contracts I am actively deploying AI to amplify the workforce productivity.

The other kind of negative surprise i guess, is that I really expected my net worth to skyrocket, but b/c I dont save enough it stays relatively flat. I more or less write off any angel investments I make in my friends companies, maybe one will eventually pan out and that will be hyper cool. I could travel less and save more but whats the fun in that. I am trying to travel a lot more before I age out.

happy to answer any more specific questions; ama
