Date: July 30th, 2025 10:12 PM Author: Fighting forum telephone Have you considered not being a faggot and squandering so much of your earnings on an overpriced piece of shit house? All of your reasoning ITT is premised on the need to get assfucked by expensive real estate and it’s clear you’ve bought into that idea and keep convincing yourself it’s necessary (when it isn’t). If you drop that premise you’ll be able to come up with a better plan and have more capital to work for you. Also, and relatedly, do not assume just because you did this once that you’ll be able to do it more, or again—I’ve seen plenty of bros get fucked by that assumption. You might, but it’s better to set yourself up financially so you have flexibility and don’t need that outcome to obtain to be good with where you are (which circles back to my first point about not hanging an albatross real estate purchase around your neck as you get your exit).

Date: July 30th, 2025 10:23 PM Author: Fighting forum telephone And there it is. Like many other fags I know in CA you’ve brainwashed yourself into thinking it’s appropriate to blow $10m on a house (and erode a significant portion of your potential working capital) because “that’s just how it is.” How about you sack the fuck up and stay in your current house rather than consuming a bunch of your exit money on some overpriced shitbox. Use the money to set yourself up financially for life so you don’t HAVE to grind. And then, if you really want to go for some 8-figure estate, repeat what you just did, if you can, and then you can squander some money. You’re acting like a ghetto rat with your thinking just at a different level of wealth. Take off the handcuffs and open up your eyes.

Date: July 30th, 2025 10:32 PM Author: Fighting forum telephone You’re being glib ITsubthread because I’m challenging your psychological premise (blow money on house is necessary) and it doesn’t feel good. Maybe unbelievably to you, I’m saying this out of a desire to see you maek it in a deep and sustainable way. I’d urge you to at least think about what I’m saying, if you’re able to. You have an opportunity that very few people get and it would be boneheaded to do what you’re proposing to do. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5756431&forum_id=2Ã#49144379) |

This happened to me. I do whatever the fuck I want now. I mostly hang out with my kids and write shitty novels. I used to play around with cool tech but I am not terribly interested in AI and it moves too fast for someone who isn't fully invested in keeping up with all the new gay shit
I help out on the steering committee of a programming language. That's enough tech for me these days. |

Date: July 31st, 2025 12:15 AM Author: Hairraiser Bull Headed Market This thread is eye opening for me, I’d feel comfortable retiring with 3 mil in the bank. Goes to show your spending just increases with your earnings. good for the economy I guess, but the hedonistic treadmill is wild. I guess this is why billionaires still work.

Date: July 31st, 2025 10:34 AM Author: Hairraiser Bull Headed Market your perspective is hilarious. $3m is more wealth than 99.9% of all humans who have ever lived have owned, but you think its only enough to live in a van and be homeless.

even if you don't want to leave the state, have you considered a ning? |
|
Date: July 31st, 2025 9:40 AM Author: arousing nofapping native candlestick maker You sure bro? I’m all for tax avoidance but this doesnt seem feasible
“ California followed suit in 2023 when Gov. Gavin Newsome signed a bill effectively banning ING trusts. As PwC noted in its explanation of the law, the state now treats California residents who transfer assets into ING trusts as the owners of those entities and subjects distributions from the trusts to state income taxes”

Date: July 31st, 2025 11:26 AM Author: Unhinged exhilarant casino chad Congrats. Based on your comment re $8M house I'm guessing you're gung ho on Hillsborough or somewhere on the Peninsula? Because you'd be right it doesn't seem like it's worth trading up from a $2.5M property till you approach the $7-8M properties, it's the cruel nature of the area. But if I were in your shoes I'd be aiming at a $5M max property, even less. You can get a very pleasant house in East Bay (Piedmont, Orinda etc) or Marin for that and wisely invest the rest and probably just retire.
Living in an $8M house means you'll feel the pressure to have a lifestyle that matches, which means you'll probably spend a lot more than you anticipate. $8M houses are for people worth $50M+ and with multiple properties. Not someone with 50% of their assets tied up in one house.

Date: July 31st, 2025 11:53 AM Author: pontificating razzle death wish principal's office I think Hillsborough/Atherton etc is bullshit IMO - I know it’s an unpopular opinion but if you have kids I think Half Moon Bay/Pacifica is better. Almost every person I know who grew up in those insanely wealthy areas is fucked up.
Seconded on the east bay though. If you pick the right area (Piedmont/Kensington) there are some very nice homes; but the issue is the culture especially if you have kids…but then again that’s more of an endemic issue in the area.
There’s always Marin too. |

Date: July 31st, 2025 12:07 PM Author: arousing nofapping native candlestick maker Cr I worry about all this
I am not retiring right now though still got young kids in diapers
Probably gonna do it a couple more years try to double the number and then can be comfortable wherever, but very mindful of the fucked up rich kid dynamic |

Maybe angel investing if I’m still in the area but right now the idea of it makes me lol. Would be happy to be completely detached from ecosystem |

sadly my life hasnt really changed much. still grinding work, still get up early to take care of kids, etc
bought 60k worth of watches to give as gifts to people, bought a car for family member who needed one. otherwise life is pretty much exactly hte same. existential 'how am i gonna pay for my kids' is gone though which is nice, and 'is all the pain i'm going through worth it' significantly lessened
another 50m in earnout if i grind successfully the next few years and man that is gonna be painful
