wow

38yo boomer here. it's all there is and i know i'm too poor to make it

32 year old boomer
pretty much not for me
finished highschool+bachelor financed with summer+weekend job (not murican)
brtender+drugs and party til 23-25, never going overboard though
went back to school at 26, paid py putting aside for 2-3years, and working at the same time
get MBA, one or two year management in hospitality, hopped to headhunting job, better pat, better hours
bought a property last month, pay $700 to bank, get $700 from renting out 2 roooms, live in 3rd until I buy another property in ~2 years

I think most of the gloom comes from being in couple. Every 3-4 years , something big comes up and I throw everything into it in terms of time and money. Come out exhausted but with a real sense of achievment and 'being alive", I usually cool off and enjoy life for the next 4-5 months before embarking on the next project. This cycle of struggle-reward-enjoy really makes me enjoy life, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't do so if I was married.

For example, this property I talked about. I came back to having flatmates for 2 years at 30, that's the strugglr part. But it was the only to pull off buying this appartment, which was the deal of a lifetime (once I'm out of it, I'm looking at ~12% gross ROI, it's insane) The price to pay to strike a life-changing deal is to go back to shared living for 2 years. Not the dream, but not the end of the world IMO. Do you think a 30 year old women would accept that?

This failed dreams+getting fat gloom is what I see guys my age who are married and under the boot of their wives. Those who are single because they can't get a girl all have some form of addiction and shitty jobs.

44 year oldfag boomer here
Been holding link since ED days.
Saw it go from 32c to 17c to $1.38 back to 22c back to 55c.
I know no pain now, only suffering.

Luke is that you????

31 year old boomer here

Spent my 20s partying, traveling, fucking girls, drinking, drugs, thinking I was living life to the full. Freaked out a bit hitting 30 because I don't have my shit together, and have nothing to show for all the "fun" I had in my 20s. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and renting an apartment right now. Things are gonna be alright, time to focus on my career and making money over the next few years.

30 year old boomer, married, two kids, divorced.
Cashed out $400k profit from crypto in 2017, bought house, ex-wife took it lol.
Kids make me feel alive, and I keep coming back here waiting for a repeat of 2017.

> bought a property last month, pay $700 to bank
This right here is why western civilization will never make it. Unironically thinking you own something when you didn't have enough money to buy it in the first place.

>muh credit bad
how retarded are you?
If you come from nothing, have fun climbing without leverage, maybe'll you'll buy a house in 20 years
Even if had the money to buy the appartment, I would still borrow everything, I have a loan at 1.39% per annum. I can make better returns than that without even trying

I came from nothing and own a house without being in debt but you keep living the dream and convincing yourself having debt is a good thing.

Ur telling me you regret all those good times youve had?

unironically considering moving to Mt. Athos or suicide

Wish I was a farmer.

Definitely not but it's quite sobering that I'm 31 with no savings, and people around me my age are buying houses and shit.

I just feel I'm a few years behind, but I will catch up. Your priorities really change when you hit 30.

Turning 33 tomorrow anons. Been on various boards since 2004/5 or something like that. Used to frequent BBS boards as well as travel and meet women but that's all in the past now as I'm married with children. Fell for the bachelor and grad school meme. Have 20k in crypto including link. I believe.

Also I saved up and got a loan for a house when I was like 19 almost 20 and everyone was so nasty and jealous. I was going to renovate but rented it out then sold it to have some money through school.

leverage addicts sound exactly the same as junkies or cuckold fetichists, the defensiveness of people who know their behavior is going to bite them in the ass sooner or later, and post to convince themselves more than everyone else

Nah, also 30 here and I mean I wasted my 20's but its gotten a lot better recently. I'm starting to travel again and I have no kids or marriage tying me down. I'm doing my own thing, what I want to do rather than worrying about making a ton of money. Stopped caring about what other people think. Stopped caring about chasing pussy. Did a lot of drugs when I was younger but somehow didn't completely fuck up my life. On the other hand I still have a lot of crazy ideas. Don't know what my point is but, it can get better I guess.

Fuck that's rough. Why'd you guys split?

lmao just run the numbers you fucking clown

mortgages are lucrative as hell; I pay LESS per month on my mortgage payments than I would renting, and I get to build my net worth simultaneously

Its true. I'm also allergic to debt though. That's why I bought a house for 60k and intend to have it paid off

I hate debt. My entire purpose in life is being debt free, but there's no point being debt free before you're happy with your net worth

I would never settle for a 60k house and being debt free; currently looking at a 500k apartment (I'm 25), which is about double my current net worth

Probably won't "retire" until I have a 1 mil apartment paid off and some savings - hustling until then

>500k
>apartment

Jfc. 60k isn't poverty level in the midwest. Spending a shit load of cash on a hou- I mean apartment above your means is African tier. Meanwhile I have a bunch of land, a home next to work and debt free within a decade. With all that extra cash I can invest in more lucrative things and have far more freedom with my money.

If I ever achieve fuck you money I'll buy shit like a 500k apartment. Otherwise I dont see the point.

imagine how much more net worth I'm building by buying attractive real estate and working in a high salary area

plus I don't live in bumfuck nowhere

35 boomer here
I only make 50k a year but have 3 month of paid vacations and actually LOVE my job. I explore the world while not working. Going to Fidji + Philipines + Thailand next winter

31 here. Not smart, not social. Just a high verbal IQ from sitting on the internet day in day out, and some instinct for niche opportunities. Lowest of everyone in a white collar job. No girlfriend, no friends, nothing to live for except the dream of making money and running away from it all. The daydreams felt really nice at 25. At 31, they just hurt.

I'm 21 earning just above six-figures as a software dev in a high COL city. My life is pretty decent but I feel like I'm throwing it away by partying, drinking, and snorting coke every weekend.

What would you boomers suggest I do to make sure I live my life to full when I'm 30? I've already fast-forwarded life it feels considering I know no one my age who lives the life I do today.

45 boomer here. Live like a 30 year old but happily married. I made 3 million in the bull run and am now pondering my future direction, maybe a creative career.

If you have any mental issues, be honest with yourself and work on them. I've eaten right, gone to the gym, looked after my appearance bla bla bla for years and years. It's easy. It's not mentally painful living a simple stoic life. But anxiety always held me back more than anything else. I don't even know if it can be fixed. But it only gets worse as you get older and more isolated.

The only mental issue I have is the crippling loneliness I guess, but maybe I can lift the feels away.

I'm 29, just starting a job making 52K in the midwest and am ready to buckle down for a few years until I get some actual value to my name. Currently between cash, my 401K, and my car loan, I'm about 0 networth. Could be worse, but should be much better.

Bro. I just told you. I've been lifting for 7 years. The most time I've had off in that period is about 6 weeks. Lifting is great for your health and appearance, but if you have deeper emotional issues it will not do shit. With that said, if loneliness is actually your only issue maybe looking better will help you there.

Your only option is retail? What the fuck were you doing in silicon valley?

you need horses

26yo boomer will i be still shitposting here at 56 that kind of makes me sad

I'm just turning 27. I have a business degree but I never got any work experience because I wasted away like 5 years of my life after graduating just doing degenerate shit and not wanting to work. I have no idea wtf to do now, whether to get more education or just get a shitty entry-level job somewhere and be 5+ years behind my peers.

Get a job, degrees are a meme

DOING WHAT?
