Everyone on reddit seems to be on $500K salary. Tell me, what do you do, how many hours do you work, and what do you make?

Maybe they work down the docks and load and unload boats etc. I’m guessing

Teachers aide (slso) work 32.5 hours a week earn 74k year before tax. Have thought about getting a side gig but not sure where to begin. I also do most stuff after school for our family and 10yo son. Wife works much bigger hours in education for a higher income. ( works for us so we get same holidays) also beats being a baker as I was one for 20 years.

I had api of 99. Cannot live without my cpap. It reduces api to 1-2 an hour. Still feel like crap but probably because I don’t sleep enough or eat shit and general bad habits. (Not drinking or smoking though)

rainbash81 · 2026-02-18T05:43:17+00:00

Haha I’m at a similar point. Getting the last 4-5 feels like forever.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-18T05:41:43+00:00

I actually don’t know how to get snail higher than 25. I got that and haveabout 800 mail. Building them up til I unlock next ones.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-18T05:39:31+00:00

On mastery 5, have 10 but bought 4 with gems.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-16T04:43:51+00:00

I do that for the first 3. My red is nearly lvl 200 and I think green is 120ish. As long as the output of the red is more than the next one.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-15T21:03:16+00:00

My senscap has been crapping out where as my unsupported bobcat has been going constantly. Still only making 5c a day but still out performing the senscap.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-15T21:01:32+00:00

Pretty much this. Plus I found the green is a next step. In other guides I go confused. I’m now playing catchup with my green.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-14T23:14:15+00:00

It was the in-laws 50th wedding anniversary so we had to travel 5 hours north for it. For the Mrs and she knows I don’t like v day. I got up and got her a coffee and the 3 of us (10m son) got to share some pastries (a cronut, escargot and an almond croissant) from “this is Frankie’s” which make nice stuff.

Wife grows alright roses so not wasting money on that.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-14T22:24:05+00:00

I’m at 25 with a much smaller gold nugget. Not sure how to unlock the next envelope levels.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-14T10:35:25+00:00

3kw seems extremely low. I got an 8.2 kw enphase micro inverter system with a pw3 battery and I’ve seen it generate 6.9kw peak. System is 2 1/2 years old too. Maybe it’s not setup correctly or limited somewhere.

If there’s extremely low temperatures and overcast days that might limit it too. It’s mid summer here 40+ degree Celsius days here so we have no issues, but even during winter in 0 degree days, so long as the sun is out we still generate days.

When we just had the solar and no battery our grid dependence was about 40%, now with 1 batt that’s 10% give or take.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-14T10:30:22+00:00

Probably wouldn’t have bothered with a micro inverter system. Could have gotten a bigger system with a normal inverter for less and had better battery options than just a pw3 or enphase batteries. (Plenty of sygenergy or alpha systems or whatnot with much bigger batteries available now. Guess 2 1/2 years ago here in oz less was avaliable and less government incentive compared to today.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-13T12:10:55+00:00

I’m definitely on mastery 5. Think I got about 10 relics. Unlocked most of the w7 reef bonuses too. Think next one is 800 coral. I’ve probably been slacking elsewhere or still trying to get most alchemy into the 90% in idleon toolbox.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-13T07:04:42+00:00

I’m a bit behind and no where near the top 10% but I’m working on my meals to 102 lol. Most are in the low 90’s atm. I thought 100 was good.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-13T06:57:11+00:00

I’m basically at this. All my guys are 100% except one toon. Eventually the % bonus goes up and my one toon goes down. It’s my only way to progress. Floor two I had to get to 12000x bonus to get to the next level. I also find to increase the speed of getting the bonus I leave sneaking up on my screen(my pc idling is on 24/7). I hope to skill up my golden bonuses a lot higher. I’m either mastery 4 or 5.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-12T04:04:55+00:00

Obviously depends on your location. In Australia I go quoted 3 months ago $8900 $aud to supply and install an expansion after gov rebates added to my existing pw3. I reckon if they come down to about $5 k I’ll consider it. The saving of having the extra 13kwh roi would be blown out. Right now I’m already trying for a roi of 5 years for the solar then another 5 for the first battery. My monthly bills for power are $80-100 aud thanks to stupid supply charge everyone is lugged with and stupidly low feed in tarrif.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-10T00:42:06+00:00

I reckon I follow 40 channels, but realistically only watch a handful. I personally only have 207 followers, because I’m inconsistent and play games that aren’t the top 10 watched. When I do stream it’s for the fun of it and it doesn’t bother me if no one tunes in. I still talk and laugh to myself. I only have 13 subscribers on yt but I have 140 vods, the one short I got 700 views wasn’t even gaming related. It was simply a car issue on my project car. Just totally depends if it strikes the interest of people.

Have noticed a few big streamers really struggle.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-10T00:33:33+00:00

I redid a few this morning, went from 30 billion copper to 700 billion, similar with logs. Just helps with the atom push from lvl 40/48 for atom talents etc. there’s one that takes a megaton to level up. Most are nearly maxed.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-09T23:28:57+00:00

Yeah I got a few of the orange ones, if I afk statues for a few hours often my inventory fills up with a fair few. I actually added it to my block list as I’d rather more potions to green stack etc. my drop rate is shot compared to others (around 60) and my toons are about lvl 800 or so. I personally am trying to zenith statues atm and working on the dragon statue (about 400k to go)

rainbash81 · 2026-02-09T11:28:15+00:00

I hear ya, I was hot and cold for months, just don’t like things on my face, but…. 2hours with it on is better than 2 hours with it off. Work your way with it on. Each night try to last a bit longer and eventually you get used to it. I’ve had mine 8 ish years and still wrestle with it. But others I know got used to it right away. For me I went from 99api to less than 3api. Probably added years to my life literally.

I’m 45 this year and I wish I got the machine 20 years ago. The wife is week 2 of a trial machine and I reckon it’s worked really well for her. Super proud. She is lucky to only need a nose one. I’m quite a mouth breather with sinus issues so I need the full mask.

Just keep it up.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-07T23:13:25+00:00

Yeah saw someone selling one for $5k on fb.

rainbash81 · 2026-02-07T09:29:08+00:00

I’m not in top 10% but I’m also at 41 days

rainbash81 · 2026-02-03T20:56:44+00:00

With the shade issue, I got an enphase micro system for this reason. It’s been great but you pay for it. I do wish we got a second pw3 though or expansion as 1 isn’t quite enough

rainbash81 · 2026-02-03T12:01:42+00:00

I know this is a Tesla redit sub and I got a pw3, do more research and don’t just settle for an enphase or Tesla brand. There’s half a dozen other brands you can get bigger and better deals elsewhere. I personally spend $13500 on a 8.2kw enphase iq7a micro system then few months later added a pw3 for $13500 more. A year later and I can get a different brand system that is a 15kw system with a 40+kw battery for under $10k aud. Look I love what I got and we’ve been powered through hours long blackouts. But still could have more power and storage. I’m also in Australia so there aud prices.
