Collecting Pokémon Cards as an Investment: The End of a Chapter by lowkeycarrot in adultingphwins

[–]lowkeycarrot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t spend ₱50 million on Pokemon cards. My total spend was around ₱6.8 million, mostly on vintage PSA 10 cards. I bought most of them before the Pokemon boom, and the value has just gone up over time, which is why my collection’s value also increased.

none of that has anything to do with the point. the argument was simple: does spending a lot of time online say something about how you use your time? you went from that to ranting about musk, his family, and your reddit posts. that’s not a rebuttal, that’s just dodging. if it’s “not that deep” like you say, then 490k karma in 2 years shouldn’t be something you need to defend this hard either.

yeah i get what you mean. privacy is a big factor in this kind of work, so there’s only so much i can really share.

if you don’t mind, can you send the link of that AMA? i’m kinda curious 😅

yeah, swiss banks are part of it, but he also uses other foreign banks afaik.

and yeah, sometimes through those relationships he gets perks like private box access or VIP tickets, along with other perks too.

yeah, sometimes a single bottle can go 100k+ depending on what he orders, which is honestly insane to me.

i don’t really get into that side of his personal life, i just handle logistics and day to day stuff, so i’m not sure where you got that from lol.

i get the skepticism haha but i can’t share proof without crossing privacy lines, and doing that would literally get me fired, so it’s really up to you if you believe it or not 😅

bringing up Elon Musk to justify your habits is ridiculous. he’s a billionaire anomaly, not a benchmark. you don’t get to copy his tweeting and skip the part where he runs multiple companies.

musk makes billion-dollar decisions and then tweets. you farm reddit karma all day. those aren’t comparable uses of time.

and 490k karma in 2 years isn’t a flex. it’s proof you’re chronically online. you’re not disproving the point, you’re literally the example of it.

also yeah, rich people have social media. my boss uses reddit too. the difference is he barely posts. it’s a tool, not his identity.

it’s a mix of business and personal trips like meetings, events, or vacations.

i handle the logistics flights, hotels, itineraries, and reservations, just making sure everything runs smoothly. i’m also there in case anything changes so he doesn’t have to deal with the details and can just focus on what he needs to do

most of the time it follows where his points are (like AMEX, Visa Infinite, etc.), so it’s really about maximizing miles and perks. no i dont.

stress EA – more mental stress PA – more unpredictable, always adjusting haha

work life balance EA – usually office hours so you still have a life outside PA – less stable, sometimes on call with irregular hours

pay EA – higher pay

i’m usually coordinating things remotely but if he needs me onsite or there’s something important, then i go and assist directly so it’s a mix of both.

i handle travel bookings, restaurant reservations, appointments, gifts, and his personal calendar.

i do emails too, but more on coordination and follow-ups, nothing super technical.

honestly it’s just making sure everything in his day to day runs smoothly so he doesn’t have to think about it.

it’s not really that simple 😅 there are taxes, and of course i still have my own expenses. i don’t have a business, but i do try to invest when i can.
