I feel vulnerable all the time, and money is my biggest worry. Started a business when I was nearing the end of college (teaching/coaching degree), it went well from 1996 to 2002. 2002 to 2006 it declined fast when cell phones became mainstream. I spun that off into something else....that with complete luck, went ballistic for a few years (I was making 100k per month for about 6 months in 2014. Bell curve on both sides of 2014). Its since been good and fairly stable, but not like it was in 2014. I doubt I'll ever see that kind of $ again. Congratulations, you've done very well for yourself.

I've only been a CPT for 6 years. Prior to 2015, I was only making $17 an hour. I had no savings or 401k. I was living paycheck to paycheck in a small 2-bedroom apartment. I had over $75k in credit card bills. Over the last 6 years, my pay has averaged $74k per year... I'm up to $84k now. My credit card debt is way down... only have $15k left. I'm thinking that if I die tomorrow, my son will probably get very little. I only have a $75k (whole life), life insurance policy. You picked yourself up off your bootstraps, stay the course. Also, your son is grown now I assume. 75k is fine, unless you are married and have other younger kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only liability is the liberal government running the show. For the past 15 years I have owed nothing to anyone and the only hit I'm taking is the current economy. 401k taking a massive hit. Company stock, massive hit and thankfully I don't need the money because I know it will bounce back whenever the Biden pandemic is over. Cash in bank earning a meager 2%. Inflation up nearly 9%. Good thing my girlfriend and I don't really need anything more than what we already have and we each make very good money at our jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted September 22, 2022 2 hours ago, craftsman said: Why does someone need to own a house to be wealthy? See, this is a typical liberal take. The idea of owning a house to be wealthy is almost the exact opposite of a liberal take. Liberals are more likely to be the ones to downsize, say material possessions don't matter, buy a tiny house and live on the go, talking about being rich in experience. In fact, the traditional values of having equity in a house and paying off the mortgage, building that nest egg are more in line with conservative ideals. Now, no one fits exactly in a liberal or conservative box but this just goes to show that you will say any ridiculous thing if it means taking a shot a "liberals"... even if you have no clue what you're talking about which is almost all the time when it comes to your politically clouded mind. Do liberal politicians push the concept of more affordable home ownership for all? Yes, but that's more the race card and equality. That has nothing to do with your average conservative or liberal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
