How many of you have actually made it without your parents money?
>>61320393Does living at home for free count as my parents money?
>>61320406yes
>>61320393Wait you guys made it?
>>61320447Wait, you guys have money ?
>>61320393I had to pay my own way since i left school fucker.
>>61320393My parents didn't have money
>>61320393before receiving inheritance something like 130-150$k. With inheritance from parents 150-180$k at max
>>61320393Me. My parents were far too poor to help me out, but not too poor to help my younger brother out. As a result they have been stuck pouring money into his family for 4 decades now. Whereas my liquid net worth is a bit over $3M, have a $500k house, and own an additional 40 acres with mineral rights in the country in the middle of a recently discovered oil/gas/lithium field. >>61320406Yes. I was kicked out a month after I turned 18.
Yes, I married a bankers daughter lol
i live with my parents and my grandparents are leaving me a ton of money when they pass, god forbidid rope otherwise
>>61323167Imagine believing that life is only worth living as long as you're entitled to a crutch, but the moment the crutch disappears, you decide you can't stand on your own.
>>61323224im going to use all of the inheritance on brown male prostitutes and rope when i run out
>>61320393Not me nor my parents funnily enough
Not me, I live with parents on a poverty lifestyle with a decent job. I have a couple mil after doing this for decades. Would probably only have a couple hundred k if I had to fully eat all of those expenses along the way instead of enjoying compounding investments.
>>61320393Me, they helped me through college, but at 22 I was fully paying my own way including the student loans that they just cosigned on. I never learned a thing about money though, I very easily could have retired at 40 with millions but instead was -200k at 35. Getting act together and being lucky I am at 3 million now and own 750k house/property outright thanks to money skelly.
The government sent me money during covid, that funded me sending money to my parents. Female state protection mode except male
>>61321790>Me. My parents were far too poor to help me out, but not too poor to help my younger brother out.I'm guessing what you actually mean is your parents fucked you over for 40 years and not your druggie brother.
>>61320393>GLOWNIGGER OPQUIT FUCKING TROLLING ME
>>61326505Similar. I think school was different for boomers so they just assumed their kids were learning stuff like how money works, how to invest, etc.
>>61321790Very nicely done. You perfectly described— and embody —- the wealth I define as “making it”. 3 million in liquid assets and .5 to 1 million in real estate. That’s exactly what I hope to achieve…hopefully soon. I can’t take the psyops anymore.
>>61320393Back in the day the successful and powerful were those with successful and powerful families, each heir standing on the shoulders of the last and generations working together to prosper.The self made man is truly fighting absurd odds.
>>61326991>The self made man is truly fighting absurd odds.so it's like shit coin gambling? this framing makes things more interesting
>>61320393My parents bought me a laptop ($900), car ($10,000), and paid fees for my first year of undergrad ($1500). I'm eternally grateful but I relied on grants, scholarships, and student loans to cover the rest of my undergrad and pharmacy school. In total, I paid back $180k in student loans alone. And I still managed to reach 7 figures net worth less than 6 years after graduating.
>>61320393I was living in a 1975 ford maverick when I was 16.
>>61320393I have two fucking jobs for this, the first is for the bills and the second is for any meme or shitcoin I see. Sometimes, when I'm lucky, my npc pays my bills. My parents only taught me how to be poor
>>61320393>actually made itNo. I have like 240k in investments and Im 37. Tbh I lost a decade of my career to 2008-2015 recession crisis in Croatia. I had to compete with 68 fellow college graduates for one apprenticeship in some old ass company and the pay was 200€. >without your parents moneyI paid for moms roof.I dont want to die, but I am not happy with living either
>>61320393I mean I'd love to but God won't let me and I finally understand why, because I've got way cooler shit to do*insert your favorite cop crime drama show intro music here*>;D
>>61326564No, what it means is my parents decided I wasn't a fuckup like my brother, and therefore didn't need what limited assistance they could spare. They were right about me, but they were wrong in their belief that a bit of assistance is all that was needed to help my brother get on his own two feet. It merely made him dependent on their continued assistance.
