I turned 40 recently. I've been waging since I'm 13 with a short 6 year break where I had a band I got some traction with and started touring regularly, though even then I did wage between tours since being a "almost famous" musician didn't pay anything then (it does now thanks to Spotify, sucks to be me).

All I can say is, I can't wish this existence on anyone. You have to either be stupid or born with some kind of wild hormonal imbalance that just makes you happy with whatever you're doing to be able to suffer this shit without thinking every day about how you're just a slave to the system and your time isn't yours. 27 years, how am I supposed to do 25 more?

I may be a stinky linky but I honestly hope every one of you makes it. Memecoiners, shitcoiners, XRP bros, fuddie duddies. We're all in this together, unironically, hoping to get the fuck out of our chains. Especially you younger guys, I hope you can live your lives to the fullest. Just remember to be kind to others, as most people will never even have the chance to escape, and they are suffering as you are now.

is life really that bad bro. i think you'll be fine
every day above ground is a blessing. remember that

>>60637101 (OP)
Oh my god, i couldnt imagine the steaming smugness from linkies if they made it. They're the worst fucking autists on the planet. God please no. You op seem alright, but the rest golly.

IKTF bro. This is our year, remember to take profits in q4, within 5 years we will all be retired. WAGMI

>>60637134
idk, anon, maybe it's me but even the good things I have in my life ultimately get tainted by wagiedom. I spend every day knowing I both have two beautiful children and also am imprisoned away from spending time with them. It would be blissful to be able to ignore the latter, but easier said than done.

>>60637135
This board has gotten polluted. I don't think most of us OGs post here much, if at all. Most of the LINK spam you see are the same like 5-6 deranged holders, including the fuddies. Back in the day there was mostly just excitement and intelligent discussion, and we really didn't pay mind to other coins negatively. A lot of the old posts were actually about multiple coins as friends, personally I got mogged by also buying REQ and some other shitcoin I can't even remember now which used to get posted in a lot of threads along with LINK. There was not much animosity, apart from the idiots who thought fudding Reddit out of holding was a good plan.

>>60637137
God, I hope so, anon. Good luck to you & thanks for reading my blog.

>>60637101 (OP)
I haven't worked my entire life and you are telling me you have waged your entire life and still haven't made it?
when did you even get financialpilled?
you should have had enough money to invest and make it multiple times
seems you just fucked up

>>60638991
I was poor until my mid 30's, got a meme degree and then as stated did the musician thing for a while. If you haven't worked your entire life you were born rich, I guess, which I wasn't and most people are not. My NW is around $1.5M but that's including house equity and it's really not even close to enough for a family. Do you typically chime in on threads just to try to belittle people or was that special just for me? I hope you learn kindness and respect and eventually make it spiritually, anon.

>>60639048
If you're NW is $1.5m what is your goal to stop waging? You won't need to wage for 25 more years ect, you wrote the past as though u have like 5-10k to your name. This is likely why you got that response.

I'm late 20's with 2M's, however even in UK this isn't really enough to be safe with. I think I can run my biz another 2-3 years then have enough to fuck off forever. If im reasonable, but we'll see I enjoy what I do.

>>60639048
You chained yourself brother. Two kids and either wife/divorce, getting married and having children is choosing for the situation you are in right now. 1.5m would go a long way in SEA but you are chained to your family just like you are chained to your work, have fun!

>>60639048
You realise a Zillow estimate isn’t net worth and you’d still have to subtract the mortgage right? So you’re probably sitting and no more than 500k.

>>60637101 (OP)

Wow 40? Good for youuu man./ That makes you what? SWE 4 or SWE 5 ? Maybe 6? That's pretty good. I ts interesting since most everyone does the 4 year CS (software engineering) degree ouut of college then after gets one of those 250k a year TC jobs (total compensation). Since you are through that and have the promotin after 2 years hwere you get 325-350k TC jobs you mucst be now at SWE 5 or 6 where average STARTGIN miniumm sits at arouind 700k-750k? Good job dude. It;s interesting sinmce a lot of people do the same thing ubt its pretty reliable, standard but reliable. The 4 year (CS) (Computer Science) degree and then the TC jobs.

>>60637101 (OP)
>I may be a stinky linky
and to think that i was about to feel sorry for you op kek well deserved

>>60637101 (OP)
Based brother. XRP schizo here wishing you personally the exact same.

>>60640978
Thanks XRP schizo bro. A lot of disingenuous salt posting in my good vibes thread, I appreciate you.

>>60637101 (OP)
I quit my job recently and moved to Asia. I could've/should've done this 2-3 years ago but work was lucrative and tolerable enough. I call it golden handcuffs. I told myself and everyone else that it's just a sabbatical and I'll come back to work in a year but now that I've tasted real freedom I don't think I'll ever work again.

>>60637101 (OP)
Bro I’m turning 38 this week and I’m broke as shit. I have a meme portfolio of crypto, a bit in an Roth and a bit in a 401k. No house either. But married with a kid. I’m never making it out. Unless Bitcoin hits 2 million or something, I’m cooked. Look at this stupid shit. I’m never escaping.

>>60637101 (OP)
>I may be a stinky linky but I honestly hope every one of you makes it
Huh, I guess some of you aren't complete animals. Thanks OP, you're one of the good ones.

>>60641177
>No house either. But married with a kid. I’m never making it out.
Yeap, you're probably done. The perfect trap unless you or your missus get a juicy inheritance

>>60641150
If I was flying solo I'd do this for sure. Glad you have found reprieve.

>>60641177
You are doing better than most people our age I think, .5 BTC might not outright retire you early but it's going to give you a huge leg up on the chance. Keep going, anon. You can do it.

>>60641184
In the old days lots of good hearted linkies hung around here. I think a lot got chased off, not just from the rampant fud but also the distaste of watching other linkies stoop to unfortunate lows. /biz/ used to be a lot funnier & less pvp.

>>60641195
My wife (Europoor) already got most of her inheritance although her parents aren’t dead. Some meme thing in her country to avoid taxes by passing it on before death. So she has maybe an additional 100k€.
Thing is I am not bad at investing in real stocks. I started 3 years ago and consistently have gotten 25-30% annually in tradfi. You can see in the other on some coins I’m up 2x at least. I just don’t have enough disposable income to make huge buys. I also spread my purchases out across coins. Even if doge hit $3, that’s only 21k pretax. What the fuck does that do? Nothing.
>>60641197
Thanks bro. BTC going on a moon mission is my only hope.

>>60641150
Which country?

>>60641205

Biz got unnecessarily adversarial post-2021 (you could argue earlier as well) and now it's primarily full of zoomer faggots. Thus the general degradation of the board as a necessary consequence

I can see from examining your folio that you're a little retarded. You need to stop that. IMMEDIATELY.
Having a Roth and 401k is retarded as fuck boomershit, get out of that shit as soon as possible and invest it heavily, be it commodities or real estate or full yolo into shitcoins.
Sell all your current shitcoins, literally the most retarded allocation I've seen all top 20 lmfao. Keep your btc, eth and link. Invest small amounts into L1s with moon potential, like nexa or kda, or just go with the next narrative which is obviously AI coins like RLC for instance.
I made 200k last cycle as a total poorfag neet with 8k to my name and will do it again within the next few months as we approach altseason.
Should you decide to do any research on anything I've said, you'll find that everything I've said is true.
I'm only writing this because you don't seem to be larping and you have a child. God bless.

>>60637101 (OP)
Have you thanked God for your suffering (and meant it)? If not you're going to die and burn in hell, forever.

>>60641955
Thanks anon. I’m not larping and I do have a kid. I fell for so many memes last time around. I’ve been holding Hashcrab for years now. I don’t have enough time to research narratives and stuff because I’m working and have a pretty young child. Anything else I should look into besides nexa, kids, or rlc? Someone recommended something called Velo in another thread.
I don’t even care if I get rich. I just want a house with a yard for my kid to play in.

>>60641955
You can remove your roth contributions without penalty. 401k can be roth converted, 72t'd, or if you still wage give yourself a margin loan, all without penalty. You have to have a pretty low wage for it to not make sense.

How do people even fail at the wage life in America tho?

I’m a dual citizen, moved to the states when i was 25, took forever to get hired to what I wanted to do, so I took a job as a server, granted I’m in a state with a high minimum wage but with tips I was taking home like 20-30 bucks an hour and obviously I didn’t tax my cash tips.

I got a second job at Walmart, because I wanted to use every bit I saved and buy bitcoin eth and doge with basically all my serving money since Walmart wanted me 40h a week so I served about 2 nights. After 8 months at Walmart they bumped me up to a team lead so I was making about 1k a week from Walmart and ~350 for 2 nights as a server. Then Walmart promoted and transferred me to a different city, paid for my relocation with a 5000 bonus stipend for down payments moving etc. Now i was making about 7k a month so I didn’t bother getting a serving job.

Currently making 95k a year at fucking Walmart, buying bitcoin with every Christmas bonus (5-20k). I’m 29 and I’ll be retired as soon as bitcoin hits 250k and/or if doge ever decides to hit that dollar mark (I have 570k doge coins atm)

Honestly I could probably retire already and live modestly but I want my kids to have money too so I’ll stick around until I have 2-3 million. Currently 900k

Kadena has no future, you have no womb, you have no ovaries. Even your idol Kevin Murcko had the foresight to abandon your shitcoin and sell as he is not emotionally married to his bags like (You) are
It has been nearly 5 years since mainnet.
Kadena can only handle 0.01% of the acclaimed "480k tps"
Your chains haven't scaled for years (because it literally can't and will bottleneck which it currently does at times)
You also fell for the Stuart Haber meme.
0 dApps, wallets, smart contracts. Your community developers are constantly getting shafted and pointing out how incompetent Kadena dev team is, unable to build anything because the Kadena Tranny Foundation are greedy kikes and only want money
Imagine trusting the Kadena Tranny Foundation after they literally scammed $100M from the community, didn't pay the marketing agency in which they hired and have been trying & failing to do damage control ever since.
I remember when you retards were shilling Kaddex to be the most revolutionary dex in all of mankind, and now look at ye
Kadena's circulating supply increased by 5x over the last 3 years and is literally decades ahead of their cited token emmissions schedule (this should be very alarming to you niggers)
Thanos hates (You).
"Kadena themselves can't even release a functional multichain dapp. Data segregation between chains is painful. The complexity of using more than one chain is insane. Try to make something as simple as an oracle, you either serve only one chain or you spam the same data 20 times."
If you've been around crypto long enough, you would understand that 99% of shitcoins simply don't recover in the next bullrun.
I warned you with Kadena in 2021 (I took profits at $15-$20), I warned you with Kaddex, and now I'm warning you not to miss out on the upcoming bullrun
All the best xoxo

>>60637134
except if you wage most of the time in your day isn't yours. only the few hours after commuting back is your time

>Thailand
I made the move out to Asia 3 years ago but kept a 300k/yr remote job that I worked at night. Recently laid off and have ~$1.5M, so I'm taking a career break.

Which neighborhood of thailand are you camping out in? TH offers many lifestyles ranging from hyper urban to rural. I went deep with philippines (manila) first because I could smash dozens of 5-6/10 gals there. Thailand is tougher for me, but I never went deep in it. just visited a lot.

>>60637101 (OP)
I feel you bro. I hope crypto really does create a new paradigm that lifts all boats. I kinda wanna end myself either way tho.

I don't get it either. I'm average and have over a million in net worth, probably closer to 2 now. 30s. buy a place to live, don't throw your money away, invest in actual investments that compound or cashflow 25+% of everything you make, wait. it's not rocket surgery be to the point where you don't have to work in your 30s if you have half a brain at 16.

I don't get how so many people can either do nothing at all economically productive ever, or get money and spend 110% of what they made. makes no sense even for midwits. i thought this board was about business and finance but it seems like like a meeting place for complusive gambling addicts chasing the next hit.

You can't cash out, literally just try.

You must make it in a western country. So I Have 550k€, I need 2million€ and im out. But I dont have a job so I need a cool 4x.

>, I need 2million€ and im out.
out of what?

>>60639048
1.5 millions might no be enough for the usa but i guarantee it's enough for a lot of western countries if you can be satisfied with a simple lifestyle and living in a rural cheap area.
Since you seem pretty much fixated on that slave idea, you need to realize you're 100% willingly entertaining this.
i'm not even talking about third world countries where you could live like a king with your familly.
also you spent your time doing stupid shit with retards in a music band i hope it was worth it holy shit you're a meme

>>60647265
this board is mostly brown people now, or poorfags neets.
I can't stand retardds anymore, hence why i deleted my x account

>>60649173
this can be enough if you have half a brain.
You could invest 300K in stocks / crypto, get a house for 200k in some nice area, then use the reast invested in business / renting estates / airbnb. That's a very simple and quickly thought plan, you could do many many other things , and work like 15 hours a week max to manage it all and still get like a nice 50K yearly net income

>>60639115
how tf do you even find those 250K jobs, i guess you must be senior, highly productive and competent, and work 60 hours a week managing a whole team in a top firm like google or coinbase

>>60641217
kek she is french isn't she?
