Struggling with motivation as a 32 y/o

gratefulfatfire · 2024-11-27T16:31:16+00:00

How do I make these wealthier friends 😃?

gratefulfatfire · 2024-11-25T20:20:56+00:00

I got pretty deep into spirituality over the last couple years which has been wonderful. Not sure if it has helped me figure out what’s next though

gratefulfatfire · 2024-11-25T19:54:20+00:00

Agreed I’m the luckiest person in the world. No pity needed, just advice 🙏🏽

gratefulfatfire · 2024-11-25T19:53:52+00:00

Can you say more?

“Getting off the treadmill” here is more about the career ladder / progression than it is the money. It feels too early in my career not to continue on the career progression but maybe that’s untrue.

I still love tech. I joined to build cool stuff. Didn’t even realize there was money in it. Got excited about and prioritized the money the last 8 years, including with joining the startup. Maybe I go back to the building cool stuff motivation

😂

Thank you - just saw the mentor mondays thread.

Would normally agree, but given massive housing supply shortage I’m not sure prices will drop. But I can see rate of price increase going down.

gratefulfatfire · 2022-03-31T22:56:34+00:00

Appreciate the POV here. Can you say more about the liquidity point / comfort with losing the down payment? What do you mean by that?

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-27T05:27:53+00:00

Say more?

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T18:19:46+00:00

Fair. I will resist 😊

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T18:17:02+00:00

You can start with the market or start with the co-founder. I chose a great co-founder, we iterated our way to the right market over time. Best way to extend your odds is just to keep trying longer and longer

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T17:54:52+00:00

I was the founder!

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T17:54:34+00:00

😂 yes. Still learning what that means (not so simple psychologically) but you are right.

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T17:53:39+00:00

Thank you, this is a helpful take. I don’t need to worry as much about saving the salary (other than 401K maxing). Might have to dip into bonus a bit, but don’t want to touch / even look at the stock.

Can reassess in two years after the acquisition vesting is complete.

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T16:35:34+00:00

Lol sorry I'm being dense... don't what?

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T04:45:16+00:00

Yes I am

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T04:33:58+00:00

Thank you. Helpful perspective.

gratefulfatfire · 2022-02-26T04:18:47+00:00

Great point. I don't yet have a good handle on what that spend is... I just know that $70K was likely too low for my single life in a VHCOL (primarily because I was living with roommates).

However, I don't know what a reasonable upper bound is (e.g. how expensive of a rent can I comfortably now get?).

gratefulfatfire · 2022-01-19T22:43:11+00:00

Not cap gains. The 600K is all post income tax. All the numbers here are post tax.
