>have good job ~$150k (techfag)
>have shitbox house outright (thanks crypto)
>have decent savings (job/crypto/investing)
Sounds great on paper
>still feel poor as fuck

I can only save $5k a month after taxes and expenses, that's $60k a year, basically nothing. A couple things going wrong on my house will eat that up too. Pretty much going nowhere in life just added a fuckload of stress from my job and house.

>hurr compound interest
Will only match inflation
My purchasing power is basically the same as when I started my job and was earning $60k. And back then I lived with my parents and had tendies every night and never worried about anything.
