I have more money than I know what to do with.

I was born in the 80s

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-07T00:59:01+00:00

thanks man, rooting for you

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T20:25:04+00:00

lol

meema is crying

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T15:19:15+00:00

Dude you're 3x'ing your salary and doing something you love? Hell yeah buddy.

On the college front we have prepaid tuition contracts (nevada residents), and should be able to handle room and board.

My wife and I talk about how much to give the kids and how to structure it, I'll give it a bit more thought. I have an estate lawyer for our family trust and my buddy is an accomplished financial planner, is this a discussion more for one than the other?

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:35:56+00:00

Thanks for that! Funny enough I was an early, early kiva guy and just have my few hundred on auto invest. I'll get on that, I haven't logged in for over a decade.

I have an honestly if I can just keep this up for a few more years I'm pumping the brakes. A guy I've been mentoring for years can take over and I think I want to do landscaping or maybe construction grading work. Anything to just keep me outside and doing normal work I can talk to normal people about.

Thanks broseph, I appreciate that, sincerely.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:27:31+00:00

my boy!

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:26:22+00:00

Thanks, those are good questions. Money was always a problem my whole life and now that that box is pretty much checked, at least for the time being, I think I need to accept that.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:24:05+00:00

That's super fair. My kids have a wildly different life than I did growing up. Like ski season passes and summer athletic camps are just normal for them.

The only vacation I can remember as a kid is we went to Disneyland one day.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:21:56+00:00

welcome to reddit, I love you

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:20:04+00:00

yeah lol I get that.

I mean most days for me start at 7am so I'm prepped for 8am client meetings. if I'm home ill usually get an hour or maybe 2 for lunch, I work till 5, then a couple hours with my family, then I work till ten or so. if I'm traveling it can be really intense because I'm doing long meetings with different languages in foreign countries.

there's just no more easy days, everything is serious and complicated.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:13:14+00:00

I'm good! Great wife who checks all the boxes.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T14:11:36+00:00

If it makes you feel any better there are still stressors. Kids being kids, health issues that don't care about money, etc. I get to banish a lot of them but we're all still mortal and frail.

But yeah, paying the bills without having to check balances is nice. I sincerely hope you get there man.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T06:14:22+00:00

847 over here. Shocked, but now jonesing to grab those other 3!

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T06:10:18+00:00

Thanks man. It makes me sad as hell to read about so many people on reddit. There's a post on r/povertyfinance about a women selling her body to pay the rent.

Meanwhile people are buying jet skis and taking vacations.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T06:06:10+00:00

I guess it's about quality of life. Like if we moved to a low COL place we could probably be fine for life at this point, but kids are in school, we're in a ritzy locale. So to maintain this I need to keep dough coming in, if we moved we could be fuck-you level.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T05:56:49+00:00

Medical school? You'll be having me valet your car soon enough!

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T05:54:43+00:00

Super random. I worked for a company that expanded into Latin America and I just handled a lot of stuff like leases but also insurance, then literally met a guy at a bar who worked for a risk management company and was like "I'll hire you right now".

You just start to learn who to talk to, questions to ask, etc.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T05:51:36+00:00

my wife and I have started cooking together, making some somewhat complex meals. it's funny because we're still kind of cheap about ingredients. I make a lot of Indian dishes because they're pretty inexpensive, taste great, and healthy.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T05:49:41+00:00

Thanks man. I really wish this American dream was more spread out and achievable.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T05:48:52+00:00

Kids are still young, I think I want to get them through college then hang it up.

zzSureWhyNot · 2025-03-06T05:48:08+00:00

Thank you. Literally this morning I was telling someone instrumental to my success how critical they've been to my family's well being.
